How often should I fertilize my lawn in Idaho?
For most Treasure Valley lawns (fescue, bluegrass, or ryegrass), fertilize 3–4 times per year: early spring, late spring, late summer, and fall. Avoid fertilizing during the hottest weeks of July and August. A local lawn care company can recommend a schedule based on your specific grass type and soil.
When should I winterize my sprinkler system in Boise?
In the Boise area, sprinkler blowouts are typically done between mid-October and mid-November — before the first hard freeze (usually around late October). Don't wait until the last minute; landscaping companies book up fast in October. Running your system after a hard freeze can crack pipes and heads.
How much does lawn care cost in the Treasure Valley?
Weekly mowing in Boise and Meridian typically runs $35–$60 per visit for an average-sized yard. Seasonal cleanups cost $150–$400. Full landscape installs and irrigation system work vary significantly — get 2–3 quotes for any project over $500.
What grass grows best in the Boise area?
The Treasure Valley's semi-arid climate with cold winters and hot, dry summers means cool-season grasses perform best. Tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and perennial ryegrass are the most common. All require regular irrigation — Idaho's summer rainfall alone isn't enough to sustain a healthy lawn.
