Here’s what lawn care looks like in Matawan:

Best Grass Types for Matawan 

Monmouth County has a humid climate and is in the transition zone. While warm-season grasses may survive here, cool-season grasses will flourish. Here are some varieties our pros recommend for New Jersey lawns:

• Tall Fescue: This grass variety isn’t susceptible to chinch bugs or dollar spot. However, it is vulnerable to the lawn disease brown patch.
• Fine Fescue: This grass type tolerates full sun and performs well in humid environments. Despite its low-maintenance requirements, fine fescue can be susceptible to disease.
• Perennial Ryegrass: This grass type has a high potential for disease and low shade tolerance. Perennial ryegrass tolerates heavy foot traffic and isn’t prone to thatch.
• Kentucky Bluegrass: This high-maintenance grass is prone to thatch, disease, and insects. However, Kentucky bluegrass tolerates cold exceptionally well. 
• Creeping Bentgrass: This grass variety adapts to the cold and tolerates foot traffic at longer lengths. However, it can be prone to thatch and weeds.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? During the spring and fall in Matawan, mow approximately once per week. When your cool-season grass goes dormant in the summer, reduce mowing frequency to once every two weeks.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Matawan

LawnStarter can prevent and eliminate lawn pests to keep your lawn looking sharp. Be on the lookout for:

• Chinch Bugs: These insects feed on grass, causing your lawn to develop yellow patches that eventually turn brown. 
• Cutworms: These “worms” are the larvae of several moth species. They can consume lawns, veggies, and flowerbeds quickly. 
• Grubs: These lawn insects cause thinning patches as they munch on the roots.
• Sod Webworms: They cause brown spots to form and can be identified by webs, primarily visible in the morning dew. These caterpillars eventually turn into lawn moths, which lay eggs and start the cycle over.
• Snow Mold: These cold-resistant fungi grow on lawns under the snow in the winter. This can cause lasting damage to your lawn, negatively impacting those with allergies and asthma.
