Little Neck has four seasons. The summers can be hot, while winter temperatures dip with accompanying snow. Maintaining a lush green lawn in Little Neck can be challenging.

However, LawnStarter knows how to handle the varying conditions and offers services like mowing, edging, trimming, and more to help keep your lawn healthy.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Little Neck: 

Best Grass Types for Little Neck

Winters are chilly, with snowfall amounts that require plowing. So, cool-season grasses are best suited for Little Neck. Check out several varieties of cool-season grasses commonly used here:

• Kentucky Bluegrass: This turfgrass loves full sun, cold temperatures, and heavy foot traffic. It's often mixed with other grass types.
• Tall Fescue: This variety is drought-tolerant. It is also more heat-tolerant than other cool-season grasses thanks to deep roots. 
• Fine Fescue: This cool-season grass is low maintenance, offering many benefits, including shade-tolerance, a fine texture, protection from erosion, and foot-traffic tolerance. Fine fescues include red fescue, chewings fescue, and hard fescue.
• Perennial Ryegrass: This grass grows best in cooler temperatures and is often mixed with Kentucky bluegrass. It has a fine-to-medium texture and a deep green color that looks great in any yard.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? When scheduling your lawn mowing in Little Neck, there's more to it than just marking your calendar with dates. Become familiar with your grass type and how it grows. A good rule of thumb is to mow weekly during your variety’s growing season.

Lawn Pests and Diseases in Little Neck

Little Neck favors cool-season grasses over warm-season grasses, especially with proper lawn care. Grass requires specific nutrients to thrive, and neglecting them can make it vulnerable to pests and diseases, such as:

• Snow Mold: Snow mold, either pink or gray, can be found under snow that remains for several months and may become visible as the snow melts in the early spring.
• Dollar Spot: In Little Neck, during summers, circular dead patches appear on the grass in humid conditions. To prevent the spread of the dollar spot, mow, water, and fertilize the affected area regularly.
• Brown Patch: Circular brown patches and wilted grass (that appears to be dying) are symptoms that brown patch has arrived. Summertime is this fungus's favorite time of year.
• Armyworms: These pests feed on the grass’s leaves, stems, and crowns, weakening it so it becomes exposed to diseases. Armyworms breed rapidly and create extensive damage.
