Here’s what lawn care in West Springfield looks like:

Best Grass Types for West Springfield

Cool-season grasses grow best in West Springfield lawns. They thrive in the region's cold weather, actively growing during the spring and fall and remaining green well into winter's chill.

Here are the most popular cultivars:

• Perennial Ryegrass: Its rapid growth makes it a great option if you need a quick green-up after one of West Side's summer storms.
• Kentucky Bluegrass: It's perfect for its self-repairing nature and plush appearance.
• Fine Fescue: Ideal for the less sunny areas, it requires minimal maintenance.
• Tall Fescue: It adapts well to West Springfield's diverse soil and occasional dry spells.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow every five to seven days from late March to October. In the summer, as growth slows, mow once every two weeks.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in West Springfield

Warm summer temperatures and high humidity create a muggy environment that promotes fungal growth and pest infestations. Common invaders include:

• Chewing Insects: Armyworms and sod webworms can strip your lawn of its greenery and create unsightly patches.
• Root Feeders: Grubs and billbugs attack the roots of your grass, weakening the overall health of your turf.
