Best Grass Types for East Hampton

East Hampton gets the full Mother Nature experience, including hot summers, cold, snowy winters, and some rough storms. In this area, cool-season grasses rule. They are equally adept at handling cold and hot temps. Here are the most popular varieties:

• Kentucky Bluegrass: This grass has a fine texture and rich green color. It excels in well-drained soils and requires only occasional watering. It also bounces back from damage, making it ideal for heavy-use lawns.
• Fine Fescue: Fine fescue is actually a family of grasses that include red, chewings, hard, and sheep fescue. Like Kentucky bluegrass and other cool-season grasses, it has a fine texture. Fine fescue is low-maintenance, drought-resistant, and thrives in poor soil.
• Perennial Ryegrass: This fast-growing grass is dense with a deep green hue. It's often used for overseeding to improve lawn thickness and durability.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Ideally, you should mow your lawn weekly during the spring, summer, and fall. Grass will go dormant during cold weather, but don’t worry; it will come back nicely in the spring.
