Happy customers all over Monterey

Samuel was great! He came early when our grass was getting tall even though the weather was not great and did a stellar job. The edges are neat and tidy and he suggested what we could do to improve our lawn after seeding. Would definitely recommend Samuel!

Mr. James and his employees always do a timely nd proffeional job leaving my lawn looking great. They also clean up after cuttiing and trimming.

The lawn looks good. Darius did great job. He even cut down the weeds around my project car and that'll make working on it a great deal easier. My only complaint is that it took a week to get it cut. But I'm happy now.

Hire the Best Lawn Care Service in Monterey

Monterey’s coastal climate shapes the landscape. Our moderate temperatures and foggy mornings present unique challenges for lawn care. But LawnStarter is here to ensure your lawn thrives with our customized services.

From precise mowing to detailed trimming and edging, our pros have your lawn care needs covered. Enjoy your time at the Monterey Bay Aquarium or stroll down Cannery Row while we take care of your green space.

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.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Monterey:

Best Grass Types for Monterey

Monterey’s mild winters and dry summers make it an ideal location for both cool-season and warm-season grasses to thrive. Our experts recommend:

  • Tall Fescue: Durable and adaptable, this grass is great for cooler months, offering a robust law in lower temperatures.
  • Kentucky Bluegrass: Known for its beautiful appearance and cold tolerance, this cool-season grass is ideal for Monterey's climate.
  • Perennial Ryegrass: With its quick germination and fine texture, this grass is a cool-season favorite, providing a lush lawn swiftly.
  • Bermudagrass: Thriving in sunny conditions and withstanding heavy foot traffic, this warm-season variety is perfect for active summer lawns.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow weekly, ideally when your grass is about one-third taller than its optimal height.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Monterey

Monterey's climate encourages certain lawn pests and diseases, which can damage the health and appearance of your lawn. Watch out for:

  • Grubs: These larvae feed on grass roots, causing yellow patches.
  • Brown Patch: A fungal disease, it creates circular brown spots.
  • Sod Webworms: These caterpillars chew grass blades, leading to thinning.

Other Outdoor Services We Offer

Instead of spending your weekends battling lawn pests, why not explore the historic Carmel Mission? Leave the hard work to us. Our pros offer extensive landscape services including:

  • Irrigation Systems: Our pros offer expert installation and irrigation maintenance, ensuring efficient water distribution for your lawn's health.
  • Seasonal Maintenance: Our pros’ comprehensive care services include leaf removal, aeration, mulching, and season-specific treatments to keep your lawn thriving year-round.
  • Landscape Design: Specializing in creating functional outdoor spaces, our pros incorporate elements like native plant gardens, water features, and custom hardscapes to transform your yard.

Roberto Rocha - Verdant Lawn & Acres: I grew up in a house where my parents decided it was in their best interest to brick our backyard. Every weekend my brother and I would get down on our knees with a blade and cut the growing grass in between each brick. Was it a hassle? Yes, it was. However, we did that continuously every weekend until we were full grown adults. The before and after of our work was always satisfying to see. What I did for my home, I'm willing to do for yours!
