You have better things to do in Portland than pushing a lawn mower and wielding a string trimmer. We can help. LawnStarter offers easy and affordable lawn care services, so you don't have to break a sweat mowing, edging, and trimming.

If it sounds like lawn care is a lot of work, it is.


Here's what you need to know about lawn care in Portland:


Best Grass Types: Kentucky bluegrass, colonial bentgrass, fine fescue, and perennial ryegrass are great cool-season grass types that will thrive in Portland's coastal climate. Colonial bentgrass can handle a lot of foot traffic and grow well in the sun or partial shade. Fine fescue is a shade-tolerant grass that grows in sandy or rocky soils, but it doesn’t hold up well under high foot traffic.


Mowing Season and Mowing Frequency: From mid-March to late October, your lawn will need weekly mowing.


Common Lawn Pests: Grubs, chinch bugs, and cutworms.


Common Grass Diseases: Brown patch, dollar spot, leaf blight, or rust.


LawnStarter is your one-stop-shop for all things lawn care, but our pros handle all sorts of other outdoor services jobs too.


Other Outdoor Services We Offer: Do your gutters need cleaning? Call us. Want those leaves removed? Click that button in the app. Want a landscaper to help you create a low-maintenance yard? We'll send a Portland landscaper to your door. If it's outdoors, we have the perfect pro for the job.

Jennilee H.'s Lawn Care service in C & J Landcapes
Thank you . The yard looks great. Next time could you cut the grass near the front curb a little bit longer? I'd like that to be longer than usual so it will grow over the bare spots more easily. But everything looked wonderful.

Questions and Answers

LOCAL REGULATIONS

Are there watering restrictions in Portland, OR?


Mandatory lawn watering restrictions specify the days when you may water. These days depend on whether you have an odd or even numbered address, and the time of year.

LOCAL REGULATIONS

Does Portland, OR have long / overgrown grass ordinances?


Tall grass and weeds create hazards to neighborhood residents and contribute to an unkempt look and feel to a neighborhood. Tall grass can harbor trash and hazards which can be dangerous to neighborhood occupants and children. Pests are more comfortable in these overgrown conditions. A highly overgrown lot becomes very dry in the heat of summer and is a potential for a fire hazard. City Code requires that tall grass and weeds be kept under 10 inches in height
