Here’s what lawn care looks like in Owensboro:

About Your Grass

Owensboro's varied climate requires versatile grass types, including warm- and cool-season varieties.

• Kentucky bluegrass: This turfgrass thrives in cooler temperatures and provides a lush, dense turf. Make sure to fertilize it and keep it between 2.5 and 3.5 inches tall.
• Tall fescue: Robust and drought-tolerant, this cool-season variety is well-suited for both sunny and partially shaded areas. When it hits 3 inches tall, cut it back to 2 inches.
• Perennial ryegrass: Known for quick germination, this cool-season species is great for overseeding. Mow it between 1.5 and 2.5 inches and watch out for fungal diseases.
• Bermudagrass: You can use this warm-season grass in sunny, well-drained areas of Owensboro. Mow it between 1.5 and 2.5 inches and watch out for thatch buildup.
• Centipedegrass: A low-maintenance option for warm climates, centipedegrass offers a unique apple-green hue. Keep its height between 1 and 2 inches.

How often should you mow your lawn? Mow every 7 to 10 days during the peak growing season. Warm-season varieties grow best from the late spring to summer, whereas cool-season grasses grow rapidly during the spring and fall. As growth slows, reduce mowing to bi-weekly, preparing your lawn for winter dormancy.
