Hire the Best Lawn Care Service in Springfield
Unlike Springfield's ongoing debate about who has the best horseshoe, thereβs one thing we can all agree on ββ the weather here is unpredictable. Thankfully, LawnStarterβs pros provide cost-effective lawn care services to help your lawn withstand both intense heat waves and sudden snowfall.
Central Illinois' humid continental climate creates ideal conditions for local pests, weeds, patchy lawns, and fungal diseases. To keep your yard looking great, our pros focus on overseeding, fertilization, mowing, and pest and disease management.
Here's what lawn care in Springfield looks like:
Best Grass Types for Springfield
Cool-season grasses are the clear winners for most Springfield lawns. However, given that the region's winters are less severe than in the northern parts of Illinois, and summers can get quite harsh, you have two options. You can have a cool-season blend that can also take the heat, or add in some cold-tolerant warm-season grass to keep your lawn thriving even in the hottest months.
- Perennial Ryegrass: It establishes a strong turf quickly and can handle higher temperatures better than other cool-season varieties.
- Fine Fescue: While it'll struggle in summer, mixing a cultivar like Creeping Red Fescue can improve the resilience of lawns that are partially shaded or have poor soil.
- Kentucky Bluegrass: It adapts well to Springield's seasonal changes with its extensive root system and resilience.
- Bermudagrass: If your yard is exposed to intense sun and heat during summer, overseeding with Bermudagrass will provide a foot-traffic-resistant, green turf.
How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn?: Mow every 5 to 7 days in spring and fall, and every 10 to 14 days in summer. If your turf has a blend of Bermudagrass, mow once or twice a week during the summer.
Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Springfield
In Flower City, the air moisture tends to linger on grass blades, setting up a perfect home for different kinds of fungus and mold to grow. These damp conditions also attract a wide range of insects that can take over your yard, especially in summer.
- Chinch bugs: Sucking insects that cause yellowing and wilting of grass.
- Sod webworms: Caterpillars that feed on grass blades and thatch, leaving ragged edges and bare patches.
- Snow mold: Grayish-white fungal growth that covers grass blades under snow cover, damaging crowns and delaying spring growth.
- Gray leaf spot: Another fungal disease that attacks blades, leaving brown or gray lesions and stunting growth.
