Here’s what lawn care in J-Town looks like:

Your Grass Type Matters

Most Joplin grass types are cool-season, meaning that they thrive in cooler weather. Bermudagrass is a warm-season grass that also grows well in this south Missouri region.

Each grass has different needs. Our pros know what it takes to get the best from each variety:

• Kentucky bluegrass: It’s a cold-tolerant, dense grass that prefers well-drained soil. Fertilize it frequently and mow it between 2.5 and 3.5 inches.
• Fine fescue: This shade-tolerant grass does great when mixed with Kentucky bluegrass and adapts to various soil types. Mow it between 2.5 and 4 inches.
• Tall fescue: It’s a low-maintenance grass that grows well alone and prefers well-drained soil. However, it adapts to various soil types. Mow it down to 2 inches when it hits 3 inches.
• Perennial ryegrass: It grows fast, resists stressors, and does well in well-draining, loamy soil. Fertilize it well, mow it between 1.5 and 2.5 inches, and watch out for lawn diseases.
• Bermudagrass: This warm-season grass grows rapidly, especially in well-draining, sandy loam soils. Fertilize it regularly, and mow it between 1.5 and 2.5 inches.

How often should you mow? Mow at least once a week. If you have cool-season grass, you may need to mow more often during the growing season in the spring and the fall. The warm-season Bermudagrass grows more when the weather gets warmer in summer. Stop mowing your grass when it turns brown and dormant in the winter.
