Get answers to common questions about lawn care in Boston's unique climate and conditions.
For Boston's climate, cool-season grasses perform best. Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and fine fescues are excellent choices that can withstand New England's cold winters and moderately warm summers. We typically recommend a blend of these grasses for optimal resilience and appearance in Boston lawns.
The optimal times to fertilize Boston lawns are early spring (April-May), early fall (September), and late fall (November). Fall applications are particularly important as they strengthen root systems before winter. Our fertilization schedule is specifically designed for Boston's growing season and climate patterns.
Boston lawns typically need about 1-1.5 inches of water per week during the growing season. We recommend watering deeply 2-3 times per week rather than daily shallow watering. During hot summer periods, early morning watering (before 10 AM) is best to reduce evaporation and fungal disease risk common in Boston's humidity.
Fall is a critical time for Boston lawns. Essential services include leaf removal (to prevent lawn suffocation), aeration and overseeding (ideal in September when soil is still warm), fall fertilization, and a final mowing at a slightly lower height. These services prepare your lawn to survive Boston's harsh winters and thrive in spring.
To create a lower-maintenance lawn in Boston, consider: 1) Choosing drought-resistant grass varieties, 2) Installing smart irrigation systems, 3) Practicing grasscycling (leaving clippings on the lawn), 4) Applying slow-release fertilizers, and 5) Incorporating native plants and ground covers in parts of your yard. Our team can design a custom low-maintenance plan for your specific Boston property.
Common Boston lawn issues include grubs, chinch bugs, red thread disease, and snow mold. We use integrated pest management (IPM) approaches that minimize chemical use while effectively controlling these problems. Our treatments are timed based on Boston's specific pest cycles and weather patterns for maximum effectiveness with minimal environmental impact.
