Here’s what lawn care looks like in Woodhaven:

Best Grass Types for Woodhaven

This area of New York experiences all four seasons in full, which is wonderful for us but challenging for grass. Here, cool-season grasses thrive because they handle cold and heat equally well. Here are the main ones:

• Kentucky Bluegrass: With a rich green hue and fine texture, this grass does well in fertile soils and requires only moderate watering. It bounces back when damaged, making it ideal for lawns that are heavily used.
• Tall Fescue: This is an excellent, drought-resistant alternative to Kentucky bluegrass. It grows quickly, so it needs to be mowed frequently.
• Fine Fescue: Fine fescue has a fine texture, is low-maintenance, drought-resistant, and grows well in poor soil.
• Perennial Ryegrass: This fast-growing grass is dense and features a deep green hue. It's often used for overseeding to improve lawn thickness and durability.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow weekly during the spring and fall. These grasses go dormant in very cold and hot weather, so your specific lawn may need to be mowed in summer too.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Woodhaven

If all you do is mow and water, don’t be surprised if your lawn still struggles. Bugs and diseases can wreak havoc on turf if left unchecked. The most common invaders include:

• Grubs: These little critters munch on roots, causing brown, patchy lawns.
• Brown Patch: A fungal issue that thrives in humid conditions, leaving large, discolored patches.
• Snow Mold: After the snow melts, you might find this fungal disease making itself at home on your lawn.
• Chinch Bugs: These tiny insects cause yellowing and wilting. 
• Dollar Spot: Fungal dollar spot thrives in wet conditions, forming brown or yellow, coin-sized spots. 
• Large Patch: Active in fall and spring, this fungal disease leaves brown irregular patches.
