The Most Common Grass Types in Salt Lake: Salt Lake City's climate calls for cool-season grasses like Buffalograss, fine fescue, perennial ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, and tall fescue are the most common grass types found in Salt Lake City.

The Best Time to Plant Grass: The perfect time to plant grass in Salt Lake City is near the end of summer. As fall approaches, the seeds will germinate in the warm soil and have time to become established before the first frost.

Spring Lawn Care Tips for Salt Lake: The best tip for taking care of a lawn in the spring is to start your routine in the middle to late part of the season when the heavy spring rains are less frequent and the soil has a chance to dry out. Continue watering the lawn though, deeply and infrequently, at about 1.5-2 inches per week. Once the grass has come out of dormancy, begin to mow the lawn at a height of 1.5 inches to keep the lawn healthy.

Fall Lawn Care Tips for Salt Lake: To prepare your Salt Lake City for the winter, aerate and overseed the lawn. This breaks up the compacted soil and lets nutrients absorb to keep it healthy under the heavy blanket of snow. After this, fertilize the lawn to help boost the newly seeded grass. Remove any yard debris and continue to mow once a week at a height of one-half to one inch. You can also continue to water the lawn until the first frost.
