LawnStarter's Mobile App

Hire the Best Lawn Care Service in Watsonville

Here, in the city fondly remembered as “The Apple City,” you’re immersed in the good life, where the Mediterranean climate is almost always mild and the outdoors calls for adventure. 

But, even in this serene corner of the Golden State, maintaining a lush, envy-inducing lawn in Watsonville is no Sunday picnic by the Pajaro River.

LawnStarter’s pros will mow, edge, trim, and take care of your lawn with as much care and passion as their own. There’s no need for guesswork or endless hours of back-breaking work when you’ve got Watsonville’s finest lawn pros at your service.

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 in Watsonville looks like:

Best Grass Types for Watsonville

Watsonville lies in USDA Hardiness Zone 9b, a hotbed for warm-season grasses, thanks to near-constant temperate conditions. With average temperatures ranging from warm summer highs of 75 degrees Fahrenheit to milder winter lows of around 36 degrees Fahrenheit, it’s ideal for several varieties, including: 

  • Bermudagrass: A popular warm-season grass, it’s durable and loves full sun. It also pairs well with a cool-season variety for year-round coverage.
  • St. Augustine: This warm-season variety loves the coastal climate and has excellent salt tolerance.
  • Zoysiagrass: It’s a slow grower but produces a thick, carpet-like appearance. This warm-season turf stands up well to drought and heavy foot traffic.
  • Tall Fescue: A cool-season grass with deep roots, it is mildly heat-tolerant and a good option for those slightly cooler patches in Watsonville. 

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? In the peak growing months, between mid-March and mid-October, mow weekly to ensure grass remains healthy and not overstressed. You can reduce your mowing frequency to bi-weekly during the cooler parts of the year. 

Lawn Pests and Diseases in Watsonville

Watsonville might be a slice of paradise, but it’s not immune to lawn invaders. Common lawn pests and diseases include:

  • Sod Webworms: These caterpillars eat grass blades, causing thin, patchy spots.
  • Red Imported Fire Ants: These feisty insects not only harm your lawn, but they also pack a painful sting.
  • Fairy Ring: These are mystical only in their name; in reality, they’re fungal infections that can cause severe turf damage.
  • Rust: It’s easy to spot with its orange, rust-like spores, thriving in moist lawns.
  • Nutsedge: This persistent weed is a sign of overwatering or poor drainage and can spread quickly if not controlled.

Other Services We Offer

Beyond grass blades, LawnStarter offers a suite of services to elevate your entire outdoor space. Services include:

  • Native Plant Landscaping: Celebrate California’s flora while saving water with plants that feel at home.
  • Hardscaping: From patios that play host to family gatherings or serene pathways weaving through gardens, hardscaping adds value, beauty, and functionality.
  • Tree Trimming: Keep your trees healthy, tidy, and in perfect shape to frame that golden sunset. Regular pruning also prevents potential damage to property or people by removing risky branches.
  • Seasonal Yard Clean-Up: Nature can get messy. Whether it’s spring blossoms or autumn leaves falling, our pros can sweep your yard back into top condition quickly and efficiently.

Trade your wheelbarrow for a walk on Sunset Beach while we care for all your lawn care and landscaping needs. With LawnStarter, you’re one step away from turning your outdoor space into a living testament to the city’s natural glory.

Get free instant quotes for top-tier lawn services. Call, click, or use the LawnStarter app to book trustworthy local pros to transform your lawn. Sit back with a berry smoothie from the local stand and watch them do the yard work.
