Best Grass Types for St. Albans

New York’s continental climate means that cool-season grasses thrive in the area. Popular varieties include: 

• Kentucky Bluegrass: A thick grass that is exceptionally comfortable on bare feet, this grass type offers moderate drought resistance for sweltering summers. 
• Perennial Ryegrass: This grass type is resistant to heavy foot traffic. However, perennial ryegrass struggles with damage recovery.
• Tall Fescue: This variety is considered low maintenance due to its ability to tolerate various soils and conditions. However, it bounces back slowly from wear.
• Fine Fescue: This low-maintenance grass variety offers good drought and shade tolerance. Fine fescue can develop excess thatch if over-fertilized.
• Creeping Bentgrass: A high-maintenance turfgrass known for frequent mowing requirements, creeping bentgrass is popular for its cold tolerance.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? We recommend mowing your lawn every four to seven days during the spring and fall, the peak growing seasons for cool-season grasses. However, you can reduce mowing frequency when the grass is dormant in the summer.
