What grass type does mulching in Dayton target?+

Most Dayton lawns are Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and rye. Our mulching program is calibrated to those species and to the local four real seasons climate, not a generic national playbook.

How does Dayton's climate change mulching timing?+

In Dayton, the active growing window runs April 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.
