Clifton, NJ lawn care service at the click of a button

Between the Jersey sun and the Passaic River's temper tantrums, your Clifton lawn needs more than a mow and trim. But wouldn't you rather be spending your free time checking out Lambert Castle's hidden treasures or chilling out in Weasel Brook Park instead of fussing over your yard?

Clifton's summers are sticky, and when fall rolls around, we're treated to a spectacle of colors but also a rapid drop in temperature that can catch your lawn off guard. Come winter, you're tossed between mild days and sudden snowstorms.

Luckily, LawnStarter Pros offers worry-free, expert lawn care services. They're experts at choosing the right type of grass and know exactly when to mow to keep your lawn resilient through New Jersey's weather swings.

Here's what lawn care in Clifton looks like:

Best Grass Types for Clifton

Clifton's setting in the northern part of New Jersey means cool-season grasses are generally the way to go. These grasses can survive the cold winters and still look great during the moderate summers. Top varieties include:

• Perennial Ryegrass: It's fast-germinating and drought-tolerant, perfect for repairing bare patches after harsh winters and resisting occasional dry spells.
• Kentucky Bluegrass: It adapts to Clifton's clay-loam soil and recovers quickly from damage.
• Fine Fescue: It's ideal for shaded lawns and boasts excellent disease resistance.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Cool-season varieties see the most growth from March to October, so you need to mow weekly during these months. Reduce to bi-weekly mowing during the summer and winter.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Clifton

Clifton enjoys moderate summers and humid springs and falls, an environment that insects and fungi find quite inviting. Plus, its proximity to the Passaic River and the Ramapo Mountains can influence humidity and wind patterns, which can further impact the populations of these pests.

• Grubs: The larvae of various beetles, these insects feed on roots and can severely damage lawns.
• Chinch Bugs: These small insects feed on grass by piercing the blades and sucking out the sap.
• Brown Patch: This fungus causes circular patches of brown, dead grass that can range in size from a few inches to several feet in diameter.
• Red Thread: This disease creates pink or red thread-like strands extending between or emerging from grass blades. It is often accompanied by patches of yellowing, straw-like, brown grass.
