Columbia Lawn Care Needs

Columbia, MO is a Midwestern town with unique and challenging lawn care needs. With over 48,027 households and an average yard size of 11,895 sq. ft., there’s a lot of lawn to maintain. Luckily, the local Columbia TruGreen office can help a fellow Missourian out.

From fertilization and lime application in the winter to targeted weed control and tree/shrub fertilization in the summer, TruGreen PhD certified specialists have the expertise to give Columbia residents a vibrant and healthy lawn every season of the year. Having a lush green lawn in the spring and summer requires work throughout the year, not just during the seasons where you get to enjoy it the most.

Our team knows just what your yard needs because they’re local. They understand what works in Columbia and can take local climate, soil, and other factors unique to Columbia to create a custom lawn care plan. For example, the most common grass types in Columbia are Kentucky Bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and fescue grass. Our local experts know these (along with other types that may present) and know what your yard needs and how to care for it. Each TruGreen plan is tailored to your yard’s specific soil condition, grass type, and your usage.

Plus, our lawn care plans come with a Healthy Lawn Guarantee®, which gives our TruGreen Columbia customers confidence that when you purchase one of our lawn care plans, you will be satisfied with the results.

Columbia, MO is part of the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, which means the average annual minimum Winter temperature is -10 to -5 degrees (F). Trees and shrubs in Columbia can be affected by insects and pests so proactive tree and shrub care is recommended to avoid costly tree trimming and removal later on. Missouri’s annual precipitation of 42.2 inches ranks 24th in the country, while its average annual temperature of 54.5°F ranks 18th in the country. As a result, Columbia residents often choose to plant geraniums, lantana, and petunia as well as echinacea, bee balm, and phlox in their yards. This humid climate for Columbia leaves lawns exposed to drought and pests like japanese beetles, aphids, earwigs, and emerald ash borers, meaning that consistent lawn and pest treatment is crucial for keeping trees and lawns healthy. Below are additional climate statistics to keep in mind for your Columbia lawn care needs:
