The Best Lawn Care Services in Oakland Gardens
With its tree-lined streets and well-manicured lawns, Oakland Gardens really earns its name. Weβre nestled between two amazing parks - Alley Pond Park on the east and Cunningham Park on the west β and weβre less than a mile from the bucolic Queens County Farm Museum. For an urban community, weβre about as pastoral as it gets.
But how does your lawn compare to your community? If it needs help, give LawnStarter a shout. Our pros are experts at building and nurturing great lawns with an array of services that include mowing, pest control, fertilizing and more.
We know how to get the best out of every lawn, and hereβs what you should know about yours:
Best Grass Types for Oakland Gardens
Oakland Gardens experiences all four seasons. This means our grass has to hold up to both summer heat and bitter winter cold. Cool-season grasses thrive here because they handle all weather conditions, particularly the cold, and bounce back nicely in the spring. Here are the main ones:
- Perennial Ryegrass: This fast-growing grass is dense and features a deep green color. It is hardy but needs water because it doesnβt handle drought well.
- Kentucky Bluegrass: Boasting a rich green color and fine texture, this grass is ideal for lawns that are heavily used because it rebuilds itself when damaged.
- Tall Fescue: This is an excellent, drought-resistant alternative to Kentucky bluegrass. It needs to be mowed frequently because it grows quickly.
- Fine Fescue: Fine fescue is fine-textured, requires little maintenance, and thrives in poor soil.
Our Best Mowing Advice: Mow weekly during the spring, summer, and fall. Each grass has a preferred height, so be sure you know it. And always keep your mower blade sharp to avoid shredding or tearing grass.
Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Oakland Gardens
If you think a good cut and a little water are enough to keep your lawn looking great, think again. Pests and diseases can make a lawn splotchy or even destroy it completely. Here are some of the most common culprits found in Oakland Gardens:
- Chinch Bugs: Few pests are more destructive than the tiny chinch bug. Telltale signs of an infestation include yellowing and wilting.
- Armyworms: These moth larvae munch on grass blades in warm weather causing brown patches.
- Sod Webworms: They cause grass thinning and irregular brown patches by eating grass leaves and stems.
- Dollar Spot: Most noticeable during summer months when humidity is high, this fungal disease causes small, circular patches with bleached centers.
Other Outdoor Services We Offer
Our pros offer a full array of services designed to meet your needs and the specific needs of your yard.
- Aeration: This is important for making sure water and nutrients penetrate the soil and reach the roots. We recommend doing it once a year.
- Weed Control: Weeds crowd out grass. We stop them in their tracks with the industryβs most effective weed control solutions.
- Fertilization: Few things strengthen a lawn against attacks from pests, weeds, and weather like proper fertilization treatments. But donβt fertilize between Dec. 1 and April 1. New York State law prohibits it.
If youβre tired of yard work or just donβt feel like youβre achieving your aims, donβt hesitate to call a pro for your lawn care needs. Call, click, or download the LawnStarter app to get your free instant quotes today and hand over your lawn work so you have more time to do the things you love.
