Top-Notch Lawn Care in Whitestone
To most people, Whitestone is known for the venerable old Whitestone Bridge that connects Queens with the Bronx. To us, itβs simply one of the best neighborhoods in Queens because it overlooks the East River and is close to all the culture and entertainment New York City has to offer.
Our yards arenβt huge, but we take pride in them. If youβre not as proud of your lawn as youβd like to be, you should consider giving LawnStarter a try.
LawnStarterβs pros are among the industryβs most reputable because they know how to build and nurture an attractive, healthy lawn.
Here are some of the things we know and that you should know, too:
Grass Types in Whitestone
Because Whitestone experiences all four seasons, your grass has to hold up to both summer heat and bitter winter cold. Cool-season grasses thrive here because they handle all weather conditions, particularly the cold, and bounce back nicely in the spring. Here are the main ones:
- Perennial Ryegrass: Featuring a deep green color, this variety is thick and hardy but needs water because it doesnβt handle drought well.
- Kentucky Bluegrass: This fine-textured grass is ideal for lawns that are heavily used because it rebuilds itself when damaged.
- Tall Fescue: This is an excellent, drought-resistant alternative to Kentucky bluegrass. However, it should be mowed frequently because it grows quickly.
- Fine Fescue: Fine fescue is fine-textured, requires little maintenance, and thrives in poor soil.
Our Best Mowing Advice: Mow weekly from spring through fall, never cutting more than a third of the grass blade each time. And always keep your mower blade sharp to avoid shredding or tearing grass.
Pests and Lawn Diseases in Whitestone
Some of the biggest threats to your lawn lie unseen beneath the green tips: pests and diseases. They can absolutely wreck a yard if left unchecked, so be sure you have a plan to deal with them.
- Grubs: They cause brown patches in the lawn by chewing on the grass. These small beetle larvae can wreak havoc on healthy lawns in a short time.
- Chinch Bugs: These voracious little guys suck the sap out of your grass and leave yellow and brown patches.
- Powdery Mildew: A fungal disease, it shows up as a chalky substance on grass blades and makes your turfgrass weak.
- Fairy Ring: Another fungus, fairy ring, leaves brown or dark green rings in the lawn. The presence of mushrooms is a sign you have fairy ring.
Other Services We Offer
Our pros donβt just cut and run. They offer a full menu of services to address the specific needs of your yard.
- Aeration: This is important for making sure water and nutrients penetrate the soil and reach the roots. We recommend doing it once a year.
- Weed Control: Weeds crowd out grass. We stop them in their tracks with the industryβs most effective weed control solutions.
- Fertilization: Fertilizing actually strengthens your lawn against attacks from pests, weeds, and weather. Just remember that New York State law prohibits fertilizing between Dec. 1 and April 1.
There is so much to do in and near Whitestone. Spend the morning at Francis Lewis Park, visit nearby Queens Botanical Garden or the New York Hall of Science. Donβt miss out because youβre puttering in the yard.
