We have it good in San Bruno. Here in the “burbs,” we enjoy a low-key lifestyle with great views of the bay, and we’re just a short drive from the glitz of downtown San Francisco.

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.

If you choose to DIY your lawn care, here’s what lawn care looks like in San Bruno:

Best Grasses for San Bruno

San Bruno is at the northern edge of California’s “transition zone,” between the chilly northern and hot southern climates. Here, both cool-season and warm-season grasses grow well. Our pros recommend:

• Bermudagrass: This low-maintenance grass is hardy enough for busy lawns and thrives in the sun. In cold climates, it goes dormant in the winter, but San Bruno rarely reaches freezing, so it will do well year-round. 
• Kentucky Bluegrass: This grass is a champ in this climate because it handles cold well, and although it’s just so-so with foot traffic, it bounces back nicely when damaged.
• Perennial Ryegrass: It has a fine texture and rich color and grows well in warm weather. 
• Fescue: The different varieties of fescue hold up well in warm weather and do equally well in cool temperatures.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Our pros recommend mowing weekly during the growing season but cut back to every two weeks in the summer if you notice that growth has slowed. Also, cut no more than one-third of the grass blade at a time. 

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in San Bruno

Any routine lawn maintenance should include pest and disease control because bugs and fungi can ruin a lawn quickly. Here are some to watch for:

• Sod Webworms: These voracious critters munch on grass blades, causing thin, patchy lawn spots.
• Dollar Spot: This fungus leaves round, silver-dollar-shaped patches on your lawn and thrives in moist conditions like we see in the winter.
• Red Thread: This fungus draws its name from the pink threads that come from affected grass.
