Here’s what lawn care looks like in Dover:
Best Grass Types for Dover
Dover experiences hot summers and mild winters, meaning both warm- and cool-season grasses thrive here. Some recommended grass types include:
- Bermudagrass: This warm-season grass thrives in Dover’s hot and humid weather. Bermuda’s heat, wear, and drought tolerance make it a top pick for lawns, golf courses, and sports fields.
- Zoysiagrass: Zoysia is another warm-season variety valued for its pest resistance, particularly against common local pests and dense, carpet-like turf. It also requires way less water than even some cool-season grasses.
- Tall Fescue: A heat-tolerant cool-season grass that’s well-suited for Dover’s tricky weather. It’s drought-resistant and develops a coarse texture.
- Kentucky Bluegrass: This grass type loves cooler temperatures of spring and fall and creates a beautiful dark green, fine-textured lawn. However, it will need more watering in the summer months.
- Fine Fescue: Known for its shade tolerance and drought resistance, this cool-season grass has a slower growth rate but makes a lush, fine-textured yard.
How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? For your cool-season grasses, stick to mowing weekly or every other week during the growing season, spring and fall, and stretch it to every three to four weeks when it gets warm. Mow warm-season grasses weekly from late spring to early fall and slow down as temperatures drop.
