We know lawn care, and here are some of the things you should know to get started:

The Best Grass Types for Ozone Park

All grasses are not built alike. Understanding your grass type and how to care for it is key to achieving an attractive, healthy lawn.

• Perennial Ryegrass: It grows thick and deep green and is often mixed with other grasses because of its durability.
• Kentucky Bluegrass: This grass requires only moderate watering and has a rich green color and fine texture.
• Tall Fescue: This is an excellent, drought-resistant alternative to Kentucky bluegrass.
• Fine Fescue: As the name suggests, fine fescue has a fine texture. It also requires little maintenance, is drought-resistant, and thrives in poor soil.

Pro Lawn Mowing Advice: In this climate, your lawn needs mowing more than half the year, but the grass goes dormant in the winter and during extremely hot spells. Cut no more than a third of the grass blade at a time, and be sure to use a sharp mower blade to avoid shredding the grass.

Pests and Lawn Diseases in Ozone Park

Threats to your lawn are often unseen. Pests and diseases lurk below the surface and can damage or flat out obliterate your yard, so you must have a good routine for pest and disease control. Here are some of the main pests and diseases to watch for:

• Snow Mold: A blanket of snow and maybe some wet leaves create a perfect environment for this fungus.
• Chinch Bugs: These tiny insects cause yellowing and wilting. 
• Grubs: They resemble tiny worms and feed on grass roots, causing brown, patchy lawns. Worse, animals like skunks and racoons dig up your yard to get at them.
• Brown Patch: This fungus thrives in humid conditions, leaving large, discolored patches.
• Dollar Spot: Dollar spot thrives in wet conditions, forming brown or yellow, coin-sized spots.
