Pennsylvania is a big state with different climates from East to West. In Eastern Pennsylvania, summers are hot and humid, and winters bring less snow. Near Lake Erie, where it can get really cold and snowy, we can get up to 100 inches of snow annually. Because of the cooler temperatures across the state, cool-season grasses grow best here.

Here's a breakdown of the best cool-season grasses for Pennsylvania:

Kentucky bluegrass

• High water needs; will turn brown if it’s too dry
• Moderate foot-traffic tolerance but recovers slowly
• Needs routine fertilization 

Tall fescue

• Tolerates heat and foot traffic well
• Prefers full sun, but can handle some shade
• Deep roots can handle dry spells

Perennial ryegrass

• Low drought and heat tolerance
• Needs full sun to thrive
• Grows fast and doesn’t build up a lot of thatch

Fine fescue 

• Low heat tolerance; good for higher elevations
• Moderate to high shade tolerance
• Not recommended for active yards

Pennsylvania lawn care tips

Best time to mow

The best time to mow is mid-morning, late afternoon, or early evening before dark. By mid-morning, the dew has dried up. The late evening will give you some relief from the mid-day heat to prevent stress on both you and your grass.

Adjust mowing height

Let your grass grow a little taller. Remember the one-third rule: never trim more than a third of the grass height each mowing. The higher humidity in Eastern Pennsylvania contributes to lawn diseases, and shorter grass height reduces airflow, increasing susceptibility to diseases. 

Regular mowing schedule

Weekly mowing is usually required during the peak growing months, which are in spring and fall. You can mow less frequently as grass growth slows in the summer. 

Aeration

Aeration gets air to the soil and helps your grass remain healthy. Our pros recommend aerating annually in Pennsylvania during the fall growing season. 

Fertilization

Nutrients are important to your lawn's health. It’s all about timing and using the proper amount of nutrients. Aim to fertilize in the early spring or late summer to help your lawn thrive.
 

Watering

The best time to water your lawn in Pennsylvania is early in the morning. At this time of day, it's still cool. If you procrastinate and wait until midday to water, the sun will evaporate the water before it reaches the grassroots.

Common Pennsylvania lawn pests
