Easy, Professional Lawn Care in Altoona
Altoona's mountain views are jaw-dropping. But your lawn? Pennsylvania’s heavy spring rains, summer humidity, and winter chill make it tough to get and keep the lawn you desire. LawnStarter is here to help.
We'll handle your lawn with expertise, giving you peace of mind and a yard that matches the beauty of our Mountain City. From regular mowing to targeted treatments for local pests and weeds, our lawn care pros will keep your grass green and healthy year-round.
Best Grass Types for Altoona
The best grass seed for Pennsylvania lawns is cool-season grass. These varieties are naturally suited to Altoona’s frosty winters and capable of thriving in the brief warmth of our summers. We recommend:
- Tall fescue: Handles foot traffic well and tolerates shade, but requires regular mowing at around two inches to maintain its resilience. Once it gets to 3 inches, mow it back down to 2 inches.
- Kentucky bluegrass: Known for its quick establishment and rich green appearance, but struggles in direct sunlight. Maintain a mowing height of about 2.5 inches.
- Fine fescue: While it establishes slowly, it doesn't require frequent mowing and holds up well under moderate traffic. Mow to about 2.5 inches.
- Perennial ryegrass: This fast-germinating grass fills in bare spots quickly and provides good winter hardiness. Mow to about 1.5 to 2.5 inches.
What’s the ideal mowing routine? Give your lawn a weekly mow from spring through fall. During summer, allow your grass to grow a bit taller to shade the soil and conserve moisture.
Other Outdoor Services We Offer
Your outdoor space serves as your personal retreat and connection to Altoona's breathtaking landscapes. To help you make the most of it, LawnStarter’s pros offer a diverse range of specialized outdoor services.
- Shrub care: Keeps plants healthy and in shape, but pruning dead or dying limbs also promotes new growth.
- Fertilization: Nourishes your grass for strong growth.
- Aeration: Loosens compacted soil so air and water penetrate to the roots.
- Leaf removal: Left to accumulate, leaves can choke grass and block important sunlight.
- Pressure washing: To make your driveway, walkways and siding sparkle.
- Tree care: Our comprehensive tree care covers everything from pruning and trimming to disease management and removal.
