Kentucky Bluegrass lawn care - Maintenance. All lawns require some degree of maintenance. Bluegrass lawns can be medium to full maintenance covers. Older grass varieties were more prone to disease and insects than the newer genetics have produced.
All lawns require yearly or seasonal fertilization for maximum growth.
Watering, mowing, insect patrol and disease checks are a seasonal duty. Thatch may have to be removed if not done when mowing and every lawn would benefit from aerating every couple of years. Pre-emergence weed killers must be applied at the right time to effectively work on the weeds before they appear and seed for the next year. Certain insect controls can be added ahead of the emerging pests if you are confident that they exist in your lawn. The addition of creeping red fescue can be over seeded in the areas that have become too shady overtime while trees have developed.
