Massapequa, NY lawn care service at the click of a button

Known for its suburban character, Massapequa is home to several natural and man-made attractions. However, lawn care is a testing job in this part of New York City. Proximity to the coast brings saltwater sprays, high humidity levels invite pests and fungal diseases, and sandy soil and drought occurrences leave plants (and their caretakers) struggling.

Let LawnStarter help so you can reclaim your free time. Our pros will mow, trim, edge, aerate, and feed your lawn while treating and protecting it from local pests and weeds.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Massapequa:

Best Grass Types for Massapequa

Massapequa’s climate is conducive to cool-season grasses. Some common varieties that reign supreme here include:

• Tall Fescue: Renowned for its durability, it has good drought tolerance and resistance to various soil types and wear.
• Fine Fescue: This group of grass species is shade-tolerant and adaptable to different soil types.
• Kentucky Bluegrass: This grass type is known for its lush appearance and fine texture. Its dense, carpet-like appearance is well-suited to the cooler temperatures of Massapequa.
• Perennial Ryegrass: This variety is valued for its rapid germination and provides a dark green, lush lawn. Due to its quick establishment, it’s often included in seed blends.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow every seven to 10 days during the spring and fall growing season. In the summer, reduce mowing frequency to every 10-14 days or as needed.

• Sod Webworms: They create brown patches in the lawn by feeding on grass blades.
