Lawn care for Arlington, Virginia
Typical lawn size in Arlington | 2,723 sq. ft. |
Dominant grass type in Arlington | Cool-season grasses like tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and perennial ryegrass |
Typical soil pH for Arlington lawns | 6.4, slightly acidic |
Typical organic matter in Arlington lawns | 5.44% |
Arlington lawn soil composition | 57% sand, 33% silt, 10% clay |

Arlington lawns average 2,723 square feet, which is typical for suburban Virginia properties. The sandy loam soil (57% sand, 33% silt, 10% clay) drains well but may need extra water during dry spells. With a slightly acidic pH of 6.4, most cool-season grasses thrive here.
Your Arlington lawn care plan should focus on:
- Regular soil testing to monitor nutrient levels
- Fertilizing based on soil test results, especially for phosphorus and potassium
- Deep watering to reach grass roots in sandy soil
- Mowing at 3-4 inches for cool-season grasses
The climate in Arlington supports common cool-season grasses like tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass. These grasses grow best in spring and fall, making these seasons ideal for lawn care tasks like seeding and fertilizing. The soil's good organic matter content (5.44%) helps retain moisture and nutrients, but regular maintenance keeps your grass healthy through Virginia's hot summers and cold winters.

This is my second year with Sunday, and I have come to expect miracles from the plan every spring. My grass generally looks pretty rough heading into the spring but after a few rounds of help from Sunday my lawn is back to green.
