Sioux Falls, SD lawn care service at the click of a button

Sioux Falls is known for Falls Park, a watery wonderland surrounded by countless walking paths and observatory towers. This is a far more exciting way to experience the great outdoors than mowing and watering your lawn.

Sioux Falls’ humid weather gives us hot, humid summers and cold, dry winters. Because rain occurs in the summer, frequent thunderstorms do too. As a result, lawn care can be quite a hassle.

For LawnStarter’s pros, however, it’s nothing. They know how to navigate South Dakota’s climate and offer high-quality lawn care at a price that won’t break the bank.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Sioux Falls:

Best Grass Types for Sioux Falls

Sioux Falls’ northern location means cool-season grasses are the most common grasses you’ll find here. Below are several common varieties:

• Kentucky Bluegrass: The most common cool-season grass, it’s well-suited for cooler climates and spreads quickly to repair damage from wear and tear.
• Tall Fescue: This cool-season grass tolerates heat, drought, and cold well enough to make it one of the most popular grasses in South Dakota.
• Perennial Ryegrass: A cool-season grass popular for its rapid growth and ability to repair thinning areas and bare spots.
• Buffalograss: A warm-season grass with the best cold tolerance of all warm-season grasses. It also has good heat and drought tolerance.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow weekly during the growing season to prevent overgrowth.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Sioux Falls

Part of maintaining a good and healthy lawn is to guard it against pests and diseases, such as:

• Sod Webworms: These pests leave brown spots and visible webs on your turfgrass. If you see moths at dusk, you have a sod webworm problem. 
• White Grubs: These small insects feed on your grass, leaving dead patches. Skunks and raccoons in your yard are another sign of grubs (they’re digging them up).
• Powdery Mildew: If you look at your yard and see something resembling flour or cornstarch, that’s powdery mildew.
• Leaf Spot: Look for browning areas throughout your yard or black lesions on your blades.
