Bangor, ME lawn care service at the click of a button

Bangor is Maine’s best-kept secret. This charming small town boasts a picturesque waterfront, seven mountains to climb, and the lush City Forest. There are so many reasons to explore the local flora and fauna, so why would you ever want to worry about taking care of your lawn?

Bangor has a humid continental climate that makes lawn care challenging. The winters are cold, with temperatures dropping below freezing for several weeks. On the other hand, the summers are warm and humid, with high temperatures reaching up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

Lawnstarter’s pros will help you maintain your lush green lawn, from applying pre-emergent herbicide to trimming and edging. They’ll give you back your time and free up your weekends.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Bangor:

About Your Grass

Since Bangor isn’t exactly a tropical paradise, cool-season grasses grow best, handling the cold, snowy winters and cool, wet summers. Our experts recommend the following cool-season grasses for Maine:

• Kentucky bluegrass: This cool-season grass can withstand cold winter temperatures and heavy foot traffic. Fertilize it well, and mow it between 2.5 and 3.5 inches.
• Fine fescue: These grasses thrive in cool climates, withstand shade, require minimal upkeep, and are perfect for lawns with low foot traffic. Keep between 2.5 and 4 inches tall.
• Tall fescue: This grass type is shade-tolerant, deep-rooted, and drought-resistant. When it reaches 3 inches in height, mow it down to 2 inches.
• Perennial ryegrass: This cool-season grass is often used for overseeding and mixed with Kentucky bluegrass. Mow it between 1.5 and 2.5 inches, and watch out for lawn diseases.

How often should you mow your lawn? Maine’s growing season starts in late April and slows down in August. Mow weekly as needed, and gradually reduce the mowing frequency to every two weeks after the peak period until the grass goes dormant.
