Here's what lawn care in Novato looks like:

Best Grass Types for Novato

Novato’s climate produces sunny days that can climb above 80 degrees Fahrenheit and fresh, cool evenings dipping around 35 degrees Fahrenheit. Here are some cool-season grasses that are the ticket to a lush lawn in Novato:

• Kentucky Bluegrass: This cool-season grass, with its vibrant color and lush texture, has a remarkable ability to rebound from stress.
• Colonial Bentgrass: Ideal for an elegant appearance, this cool-season variety thrives in the mild, damp conditions in Novato.
• Perennial Ryegrass: Fast to grow and easy to establish, this cool-season grass is perfect for those seeking a robust lawn that can handle some foot traffic.
• Tall Fescue: Tough enough to take on hot days and drought-resistant, this cool-season turf is well suited to the arid summers.
• Fine Fescue: With a fine texture and shade tolerance, this cool-season grass fits the varied Northern Californian landscape.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Aim for weekly mowing to keep your lawn neat and healthy during the peak growing season, from mid-March to mid-October. Transition to bi-weekly as temperatures start to fall.

Lawn Pests and Diseases in Novato

With its clear skies and warm temperatures, Novato's climate can invite less-than-desirable visitors to your lawn. Watch out for these common lawn adversaries:

• Crane Flies: Their larva can eat grassroots, leading to patchy, weak lawns.
• Red Thread: Pinkish threads in your lawn signal this fungal disease that thrives in humid conditions.
• Rust: This disease leaves an orange residue on your lawn and flourishes in moist, warm environments.
• Summer Patch: Heat and moisture encourage this disease, creating frustrating brown patches.
• Crabgrass: This tough weed competes with your grass for space and nutrients.
