Mill Valley, CA lawn care service at the click of a button

Mill Valley is about as scenic as a place can get. There are rolling hills and forests to the west of us, Richardson Bay to the east, and hiking trails and parks all around.

When you have vistas like this, you want a yard to match. That’s where LawnStarter comes in. Our highly skilled pros offer precision cuts and all the TLC you need to get the most out of your lawn.

Oh, and if you have questions about California’s Green Lawn Care Law, we’ve got you covered. As our Green Lawn Care Law FAQ notes, if you’re mowing with gas-powered mowers, blowers, edgers, you’ll need to replace them with battery-powered ones eventually.

Let LawnStarter’s local lawn care pros care for your yard, and don’t worry if you have the right equipment. Our pros are your neighbors. We know how to keep Golden State lawns green and lush.

We know lawns, and here are some things you should know as well:

Best Grasses for Mill Valley

Mill Valley is just north of California’s so-called transition zone between the chilly northern and hot southern climates. Here, both cool-season grasses and hardy warm-season grasses grow well. Our pros recommend:

• Bentgrass: This cool-season grass is native to California. It grows slowly but adapts well to different environmental conditions.
• Tall Fescue: Tall fescue thrives in climates like ours that experience both warm and cool weather. It is tough; it handles dry conditions and resists lawn diseases well.
• Kentucky Bluegrass: This grass tolerates our dry summers and, like Bermudagrass, is good for busy lawns.
• Bermudagrass: This grass is hardy enough for busy lawns and thrives in the sun.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow weekly, ideally when your grass is about one-third taller than its optimal height. Reduce mowing frequency when the weather is very hot or very cold.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Mill Valley

Mow, water, and fertilize your lawn, but make sure your routine also includes pest and disease control. Here are some to watch for:

• Armyworms: These voracious critters can destroy a lawn in no time.
• Dollar Spot: This fungus leaves round, silver-dollar-shaped patches on your lawn and thrives in moist conditions.
• Red Thread: Look for red tips on your grass. You’ll find it in undernourished lawns and those that have excessive thatch buildup.
