Pacific Northwest lawns use cool-season grasses because they’re best adapted to the cold weather. Cool-season grass generally doesn't thrive in hot, dry summer weather in Rogue Valley. However, some species are more heat and drought-tolerant than others.

Below are the best-adapted turfgrasses for the Rogue Valley. You likely have one or more of these species in your lawn.

• Tall fescue (specifically dwarf tall fescue)
• Perennial ryegrass
• Kentucky bluegrass

How to care for your Ashland lawn

Mow your lawn regularly to keep it tidy. Your cool-season grass will grow most in fall and spring, with a slowdown in winter and summer (especially if it’s not watered). Mow high to help your grass better withstand drought. Mowing also is crucial for fire safety and adherence to Ashland’s weed abatement policies.

Irrigate your lawn as needed to keep it green and healthy. Turfgrass needs about 1 to 1 ½ inches of water weekly. While that includes rainwater, there’s not enough rain in the Rogue Valley to let you off the hook. Your lawn may turn brown and dormant if it doesn’t get the necessary water. Follow the city of Ashland’s water savings guide for local watering tips.

Fertilizer can boost your lawn’s growth, color, and health. Adequately fertilized grass can better withstand disease and weed infestations. However, overfertilization increases the water needs of your grass and contributes to harmful runoff. The best time to fertilize cool-season grasses is in spring and fall.

Why hire a pro?

Some people are blessed with a green thumb. They don’t mind mowing in the summer heat or dealing with an unexpected flooded yard. But groundskeeper isn’t a role everyone wants to play, even if it’s only for their own yard.
