Here’s what lawn care looks like in Jefferson City:

About Your Grass

Typically, Jefferson City grasses are cool-season, meaning that they grow well when the weather is cooler in fall and spring. They then go dormant in the summer. You might also grow the warm-season Bermudagrass, although it’s less likely because this grass is more common in southern Missouri.

You most likely have one of these grasses:

• Kentucky bluegrass: It’s a resilient grass that easily recovers from stress. Fertilize it well, and mow it between 2.5 and 3.5 inches.
• Tall fescue: Its’ an easy-care grass that adapts well to Jefferson City’s soil diversity. When it hits 3 inches tall, mow it down to 2 inches tall.
• Fine fescue: Known for its shade-tolerance, this grass also adapts well to various soils. Mow it between 2.5 and 4 inches. 
• Perennial ryegrass: This grass germinates quickly into a dense, fine-textured lawn. Mow it between 1.5 and 2.5 inches, and keep an eye out for lawn diseases. 
• Bermudagrass: This rapid-growing, traffic-tolerant, warm-season grass does better in summer than the cool-season grasses. Fertilize it frequently, and mow it between 1.5 and 2.5 inches.

How often should you mow? Mow your grass at least once a week. Cool-season grasses need to be mowed more often in the spring and the fall. On the other hand, the warm-season Bermudagrass needs mowing later in the spring and summer, when the weather gets warmer.
