Best Grass Types for Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill has a humid continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. Cool-season grass varieties are well-suited to this part of New York. Some popular choices include:

• Perennial Ryegrass: This cool-season grass produces a lush, green lawn and establishes quickly. It also has good foot traffic tolerance and is often used for overseeding. 
• Tall Fescue: Turf-type tall fescue has a fine texture like Kentucky bluegrass but with better heat tolerance. 
• Kentucky Bluegrass: This is a popular choice for Richmond Hill thanks to its heat and cold tolerance. It is drought-tolerant too but requires regular mowing and watering.  
• Fine Fescue: These grasses withstand heat, shade, and cold and produce a fine-textured lawn.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow weekly or once every two weeks in the spring and fall, and switch to mowing every two weeks in the summer.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill isn’t safe from the wrath of lawn pests and diseases. Look out for:

• Sod Webworms: These moth larvae have an appetite for grass blades. They munch on grass and leave damaged, brown patches.
• Chinch Bugs: Chinch bugs suck the life out of your turf with their straw-like contraptions, leaving yellow and brown patches.
• Brown Patch: Caused by a nasty fungus, this turf disease will leave circular brown patches in the lawn during hot and humid weather. 
• Snow Mold: If the snow cover persists for an extended period, this fungal disease shows up as gray or pinkish patches in the lawn.
