Nurturing Lawns in Fairhaven’s Unique Coastal Climate

Fairhaven, MA’s coastal location brings distinct challenges to residential lawn care. Salt exposure from winter road treatments can stress turfgrass, especially in neighborhoods near Sconticut Neck and along the shores of West Island. Summer droughts, common in the region, require careful irrigation strategies to keep lawns in areas like Oxford Village and the Acushnet River corridor green and healthy. Mature trees in historic districts such as the Center Common create shaded lots, demanding shade-tolerant grass varieties and specialized maintenance. Additionally, sloped properties near Fort Phoenix State Reservation are prone to soil erosion, making proper ground cover and drainage solutions essential.
