Cool Season vs. Warm Season Grasses

There are many different varieties of grasses growing in residential lawns. In general, grasses are divided into two types: cool season and warm season. Cool season grasses are most popular in the United States for their ability to retain a green color throughout cold weather (though cool season grasses will eventually fade or brown in the coldest temperatures.) Examples of cool season grasses include Kentucky bluegrass, tall and fine fescue and ryegrass.

Warm season grasses usually brown after the first frost of the year. Though primarily used in the Southern US, they can be found all the way up to the Canadian border. Bermuda grass, zoysia and buffalo grass are all varieties of warm season grass.

Because of their different growth patterns, warm and cool season grasses must be fertilized at different times in the year. To find out exactly what kind of grass you have and the best times to fertilize, contact Ever So Green at 517-518-8523!

Do I Need to Aerate My Lawn? When to Hire a Professional Lawn Care Company

Aeration is a technique that loosens compacted soil, allowing for air, water and fertilizer to reach the grass at its roots. Special tools (mechanized or manual) perforate the lawn with small, uniform holes that allow elements to move freely through the soil without damaging the grass’ roots.

If you’re going to fertilize your lawn, apply weed control or seed, it is important to aerate your lawn. For fertilizer and weed control, aeration is essential for allowing those compounds to spread evenly throughout the soil. In the case of applying seed, you’ll want to aerate in order to ensure the seeds have ample room for root growth.
