Best Grass Types for Ocean City

The Southeastern New Jersey climate favors both warm- and cool-season grasses. Our experts recommend: 

• Perennial Ryegrass: This cool-season grass prevents erosion as it provides a resilient and cold hardy ground cover.
• Kentucky Bluegrass: Another cool-season variety, it works well in areas that experience a lot of wear and tear.
• Zoysiagrass: This warm-season species grows well on a variety of property types, including those with a lot of sunlight, shade, and foot traffic.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Our experts recommend mowing weekly. The goal is to mow at a height of 2.5 to 3.5 inches in the summer. As your grass goes dormant in the fall, stop mowing.

• Grubs: These pests are beetle larvae that chew on grass roots, causing dead grass and large brown patches.
• Chinch Bugs: These insects suck on grass blades and drain them of nutrients, which results in yellowing and dead grass. 
• Brown Patch: This fungal infection spreads quickly and thrives in humid weather. It leads to circular patches of brown and dying grass.
