Here’s what lawn care looks like in Orange:

Best Grass Types for Orange

Cool-season grasses are the most popular here. They can withstand the freezing winters and occasional snowstorms. You likely have one of these varieties in your lawn:

• Perennial Ryegrass: One of the best grasses for high-traffic lawns, this variety requires consistent irrigation in the summer and grows best in full sun. 
• Kentucky Bluegrass: This blue-hued grass can handle the cold better than most, but it doesn’t handle dehydration or shade well.
• Tall Fescue: One of the most low-maintenance cultivars, tall fescue handles heat and drought well.
• Fine Fescue: For the homeowner who dislikes mowing, this grass is slow-growing and can handle both sun and shade.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow cool-season grasses once a week in the spring and fall. If you water your lawn in the summer and your grass stays green, keep it trimmed to about three inches.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Orange

Essex County lawns aren’t immune to invaders. These pests and diseases are a threat to your turf. Watch out for signs of:

• Chinch Bugs: If you see sections of your grass that are dry, chinch bugs may be the culprit. They suck the juice out of the grass blades, leaving them brown and wilted.
• Grubs: If you can pull sections of your grass up easily, these small, c-shaped insects may have eaten the roots. 
• Red Thread: If you have blades of thready, red grass in your lawn, rust fungus may have invaded thanks to excess moisture.
• Grease Spot: As the name implies, this fungus presents as greasy streaks in your lawn. Like red thread, grease spot thrives in moisture and humidity.
