Best Grass Types for Scarsdale

Here in Scarsdale, cool-season grasses thrive because they handle cold and heat equally well. Here are the main ones:

• Perennial Ryegrass: It grows fast, is dense, and features a deep green color. It is also durable. These qualities prompt many people to mix it in with other grasses to achieve stronger lawns.
• Kentucky Bluegrass: It is dark green and fine, and it does well in fertile soils. It also requires only moderate watering and is durable.
• Tall Fescue: This is an excellent, drought-resistant alternative to Kentucky bluegrass.
• Fine Fescue: Fine fescue is a low-maintenance, drought-resistant grass that thrives in poor soil.

Our Best Mowing Advice: Cool-season grasses grow fastest in mild weather but go dormant in cold weather, so mow weekly in the spring, summer and fall. Don’t mow more than a third of the grass height each time, and be sure to keep your mower blade sharp to avoid tearing the grass.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Scarsdale

Many homeowners think a good cut, a little water and occasional fertilizer are enough to keep a lawn looking great. Those are all important, but you can’t stop there. Pests and diseases are silent killers in a lawn, so it’s important to have a good routine for pest and disease control. Here are some of the main threats to look out for:

• Grubs: They resemble tiny worms and feed on grass roots, causing brown, patchy lawns. Worse, animals like skunks and racoons dig up your yard to get at them.
• Brown Patch: A fungal issue that thrives in humid conditions, leaving large, discolored patches.
• Snow Mold: After the snow melts, you might find this fungus making itself at home on your lawn.
• Chinch Bugs: These tiny insects cause yellowing and wilting. 
• Dollar Spot: Fungal dollar spot thrives in wet conditions, forming brown or yellow, coin-sized spots.
