Best Grass Types for Howard Beach
New Yorkβs continental climate provides the perfect environment for cool-season grasses to flourish. Common varieties include:
- Kentucky Bluegrass: This grass variety is exceptionally dense and tolerates shade and drought.
- Perennial Ryegrass: This grass type enjoys fertile, well-draining soil. Perennial ryegrass has high foot traffic tolerance.
- Tall Fescue: Considered a low-maintenance grass, tall fescue tolerates heat and drought. However, it grows in bunches, so it can appear sparse.
- Fine Fescue: This low-maintenance grass variety offers good drought tolerance but can become thin and require overseeding.
- Creeping Bentgrass: This grass variety is not typically recommended for lawns due to its high maintenance needs. However, when properly cared for, creeping bentgrass produces a lush lawn with a beautiful blue-green color.
How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? During the spring and fall, mow approximately once per week. When your cool season grass goes dormant in the summer, reduce mowing frequency to once every two weeks.

Our team of lawn care experts will protect your lawn from these common pests:
- Grubs: These lawn insects cause thinning patches as they munch on the roots.
- Chinch Bugs: This insect feeds on grass, causing your lawn to develop yellow patches that eventually turn brown.
- Cutworms: These βwormsβ are the larvae of several moth species. They can consume lawns, veggies, and flowerbeds quickly.
- Brown Patch: As the name implies, this lawn disease causes brown patches to form on your lawn. Typically, grass blades donβt turn completely brown but instead develop lesions, making sections of your lawn appear discolored.
