Best Grass Types for Burlington

Burlington has long winters and short summers, so cool-season grasses are the way to go here. Understanding your grass is key to good lawn care, and the following are some of the most popular varieties to choose from:

• Kentucky Bluegrass: This grass handles cold and foot traffic better than other cool-season grasses, but it doesn’t tolerate shade.
• Tall Fescue: This grass grows well on uneven ground or in shady areas, and it withstands drought better than other cool-season grasses.
• Fine Fescue: This grass is known for its shade, drought, salt, and cold tolerance, but it doesn’t like heavy foot traffic.
• Perennial Ryegrass: It needs less mowing than other grasses, but it recovers slowly from foot traffic.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow your lawn at least once a week in the spring and fall. Push it back to two weeks in the summer.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Burlington

To ensure a green, lush lawn, our pros will protect your lawn from pests and diseases, such as:

• White Grubs: They chew on the roots of grasses, causing significant damage and eventually death.
• Chinch Bugs: Like white grubs, they chew on the roots of your grass, causing them to wilt.
• Red Thread: As its name suggests, this disease causes red strands to appear on grass blades.
• Rust: Causes spores to appear on the grass, making it look like it has rusted.
