What grass type does mulching in Boulder target?+

Most Boulder lawns are Kentucky bluegrass and fescue. Our mulching program is calibrated to those species and to the local dry summers and cold winters climate, not a generic national playbook.

How does Boulder's climate change mulching timing?+

In Boulder, the active growing window runs May through October. We schedule mulching around that window so visits land when they actually move the needle - earlier or later than the national calendar when local soil temps demand it.
