Samuel was great! He came early when our grass was getting tall even though the weather was not great and did a stellar job. The edges are neat and tidy and he suggested what we could do to improve our lawn after seeding. Would definitely recommend Samuel!

Thank you Carlos for doing such a thorough job on my much neglected yard. I could not be happier with your work. I'm anxious to receive the quotes I requested for the additional services! I look forward to hearing from

Hire the Best Lawn Care Service in Monterey

Monterey’s coastal climate shapes the landscape. Our moderate temperatures and foggy mornings present unique challenges for lawn care. But LawnStarter is here to ensure your lawn thrives with our customized services.

From precise mowing to detailed trimming and edging, our pros have your lawn care needs covered. Enjoy your time at the Monterey Bay Aquarium or stroll down Cannery Row while we take care of your green space.

Oh, and if you have questions about California’s Green Lawn Care Law, we’ve got you covered. As our Green Lawn Care Law FAQ notes, if you’re mowing with gas-powered mowers, blowers, edgers, you’ll need to replace them with battery-powered ones eventually.

Let LawnStarter’s local lawn care pros care for your yard, and don’t worry if you have the right equipment. Our pros are your neighbors. We know how to keep Golden State lawns green and lush.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Monterey:

Best Grass Types for Monterey

Monterey’s mild winters and dry summers make it an ideal location for both cool-season and warm-season grasses to thrive. Our experts recommend:

  • Tall Fescue: Durable and adaptable, this grass is great for cooler months, offering a robust law in lower temperatures.
  • Kentucky Bluegrass: Known for its beautiful appearance and cold tolerance, this cool-season grass is ideal for Monterey's climate.
  • Perennial Ryegrass: With its quick germination and fine texture, this grass is a cool-season favorite, providing a lush lawn swiftly.
  • Bermudagrass: Thriving in sunny conditions and withstanding heavy foot traffic, this warm-season variety is perfect for active summer lawns.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow weekly, ideally when your grass is about one-third taller than its optimal height.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Monterey

Monterey's climate encourages certain lawn pests and diseases, which can damage the health and appearance of your lawn. Watch out for:

  • Grubs: These larvae feed on grass roots, causing yellow patches.
  • Brown Patch: A fungal disease, it creates circular brown spots.
  • Sod Webworms: These caterpillars chew grass blades, leading to thinning.

Other Outdoor Services We Offer

Instead of spending your weekends battling lawn pests, why not explore the historic Carmel Mission? Leave the hard work to us. Our pros offer extensive landscape services including:

  • Irrigation Systems: Our pros offer expert installation and irrigation maintenance, ensuring efficient water distribution for your lawn's health.
  • Seasonal Maintenance: Our pros’ comprehensive care services include leaf removal, aeration, mulching, and season-specific treatments to keep your lawn thriving year-round.
  • Landscape Design: Specializing in creating functional outdoor spaces, our pros incorporate elements like native plant gardens, water features, and custom hardscapes to transform your yard.

Choosing LawnStarter means you will have more free time to immerse yourself in the beauty and history of Monterey. Our skilled professionals don't just maintain your lawn; they ensure it flourishes.

Joseph R.'s lawn service service result
The lawn looks good. Darius did great job. He even cut down the weeds around my project car and that'll make working on it a great deal easier. My only complaint is that it took a week to get it cut. But I'm happy now.
