Here's what you need to know about lawn care in Bayside:

Best Grass Types for Bayside

The temperate Bayside climate favors the growth of cool-season grasses more than warm-season varieties. Here are some popular cultivars:

• Kentucky Bluegrass: A popular choice for Bayside, bluegrass is known for its fine texture, lush dark green appearance, and ability to perform well in the Northeast’s temperate climate.
• Perennial Ryegrass: This cool-season variety is quick to establish and exhibits good foot traffic tolerance. It’s often included in seed mixes for a year-round lush lawn.
• Fescues: It does well in various soil types and tolerates sun, drought, and shade. This grass is a low-maintenance option and looks phenomenal.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? We recommend mowing every week, depending on the growth rate, during early spring and late fall. Then slow down by mowing every one to two weeks in the summer, cutting no more than one-third of the grass height at a time.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Bayside

Know your enemies. Common lawn pests and diseases in the Bayside area include:

• Chinch Bugs: These pesky critters will suck the juices out of your grass and leave you a yellowing and wilting lawn.
• Armyworms: These too feed on grass blades and are quick at turning a happy lawn into a land of irregular, large brown patches.
• Fairy Ring: It’s a fungal disease that creates circular rings of mushrooms and dark green grass in the lawn. They eventually cause browning and thinning of the turfgrass.
• Red Thread: Another fungal disease that creates a reddish or pinkish hue in the affected areas. It loves cool, wet conditions and weakens the lawn. 
• Brown Patch: Identified by circular patches of brown, dead grass, brown patch is prevalent when the weather is humid and warm.
