Best Grass Types for Missoula

Missoula enjoys four distinct seasons, with hot summers that sizzle and cold winters that pack a punch. While warm-season grasses might sound appealing for our scorching days, cool-season varieties are the best grass type for Montana lawns. We recommend:

• Kentucky bluegrass: Known for its quick establishment and rich green appearance, but struggles in direct sunlight. Maintain a mowing height of about 2.5 inches.
• Fine fescue: While it establishes slowly, it doesn't require frequent mowing and holds up well under moderate traffic. Mow to about 2.5 inches.
• Perennial ryegrass: This fast-germinating grass fills in bare spots quickly and provides good winter hardiness. Mow to about 1.5 to 2.5 inches.
• Tall fescue: Handles foot traffic well and tolerates shade, but requires regular mowing at around two inches to maintain its resilience. Once it gets to 3 inches, mow it back down to 2 inches.

How often should you mow your lawn? Mow once every week during your grass’ peak growing seasons (spring and fall). Missoula’s summer can be scorching, so reduce to bi-weekly mowing and let the grass grow a little taller to shade the soil and retain moisture.
