Bend, OR lawn care service at the click of a button

Though Bend is known for its stunning nature, the high desert climate isn’t always kind to your lawn. Yet, it’s still possible to have a great lawn if you follow a good maintenance program. LawnStarter does.

Bend faces dry summers, freezing winters, and a short growing season. Our pros have years of experience dealing with these conditions and keep your lawn healthy and green year-round.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Bend:

Specialized Grass Care

Oregon’s chilly climate means only cool-season grasses do well here. These grass types can handle a winter freeze but may turn brown in the summer heat. The best turf types for Bend include:

• Tall fescue: This low-maintenance grass tolerates Bend’s summer heat and frequent droughts.
• Kentucky bluegrass: The excellent cold tolerance Kentucky bluegrass brings to the table makes it a suitable choice for high desert winters.
• Perennial ryegrass: This grass germinates quickly and has a soft texture perfect for walking barefoot.

How often should you mow? Mow once or twice weekly from April to September, and cut back to once every other week in March and October. Grass stops growing from November to February.

Other Services We Offer

Lawn care is where we start but not where our services end. Our LawnStarter Pros can help you with several other projects to make your high desert yard more aesthetically appealing and practical.

• Mulching: Besides its aesthetic appeal, mulch helps control soil temperature and retain moisture. Our Bend landscapers know the best mulches to meet your needs and tastes.
• Aeration: Loosens compacted soil so air, water, and nutrients get to the roots.
• Fertilization: Grass needs nourishment, but knowing how much and what kind can be tricky.
• Leaf removal: Leaves can block air and sunlight from getting to your grass.
• Landscape design: Whether you want a tropical oasis or a drought-tolerant garden, our crew will help you create your dream landscape.
