Waterville, ME lawn care service at the click of a button

Nestled alongside the Kennebec River, Waterville exudes a rustic allure and a close-knit community feel, making it an inviting small town. There are plenty of options for those seeking an immersive nature experience, such as Quarry Road Trails. Why not make your lawn an equally inviting, enjoyable place to spend your time?

Waterville has a humid continental climate. That means that in the summer, the weather can get pretty hot, and in the winter, you can expect a lot of snowfall and some pretty chilly temperatures. These conditions make lawn care more difficult and less enjoyable.

Lawnstarter can relieve your lawn care worries and keep your lawn looking amazing even in the harsh Waterville weather. They can do everything from mowing and weeding to grass planting and fertilization.

Here’s what Waterville lawn care looks like: 

About Your Grass

Since Waterville is not a tropical island destination, the experts advise using cool-season grasses. These grasses are well adapted to the cold and snowy winters of the region. Here are some of the commonly used cool-season grasses for lawns in Waterville.

• Perennial ryegrass: This grass can be used alone or in combination with Kentucky bluegrass. Fertilize it, mow it between 1.5 and 2 inches, and watch out for lawn diseases.
• Kentucky bluegrass: Kentucky bluegrass withstands harsh winter temperatures, moderate foot traffic, and full-sun areas. Fertilize it frequently and mow it between 1.5 and 2.5 inches.
• Fine fescues: These grasses are low maintenance, prevent soil erosion, and prefer less foot traffic. Red fescue, the most common variety in Maine, should be mowed between 2 and 2.5 inches.
• Tall fescue: Though not all tall fescues are hardy in Maine, they’re shade-tolerant, cold-tolerant, and drought-resistant due to their deep roots. Keep them between 2 and 3 inches.

How often should you mow your lawn? The best grass growing season in Waterville is between late April and August, so your mowing schedule should be every five to ten days. To keep your lawn healthy, avoid cutting more than one-third of the total leaf height at once. Trimming over one-third of the height can stress the grass, deplete carbohydrates, and cause thinning.
