Charlottesville proves no two trees are alike as specimens with leaves of different shapes, colors, and shades line our country roads. Colorful flowers can be seen throughout the town and on vineyards as the grass climbs up and down the hills in the background.

It can be difficult to maintain a lawn as picturesque as the Blue Ridge Mountains in a region with weather as variable as C’ville’s. LawnStarter can provide services for your yard on a schedule that helps your grass survive the seasonal shifts and come out looking good every time.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Charlottesville:

Best Grass Types for Lynchburg

The cold winters and hot summers mean both cool-season and warm-season grasses grow in Charlottesville. The most common varieties include:

• Tall Fescue: This grass is resilient. It is heat and drought-tolerant and disease-resistant when well-maintained. 
• Kentucky Bluegrass: A variety of grass that is usually mixed with other cool-season grasses, it performs best in well-drained soil and full sun but adapts to partial shade.
• Bermudagrass: Its high traffic tolerance and fast growth rate make it a favorite. However, quick growth also means it requires a lot of maintenance like frequent mowing. 

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Our experts recommend mowing your lawn once a week during the growing season. Cool-season grasses grow actively in the spring and fall. The growing season for warm-season grasses is spring and summer. Stop mowing when your grass is dormant.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Charlottesville

Here are some of the most common lawn pests and diseases that invade Virginia yards. Watch out for:

• Cutworms: Caterpillars that build tunnels in the soil and feed on the grass at night. 
• Grubs: These pests, like cutworms, also burrow into the ground. They damage grass by eating grass. 
• Fungal Diseases: Humidity can be a breeding ground for infections that cause circular or irregular patches of discolored grass.
