Yards & conditions in Lincoln
Lincoln sits in USDA hardiness zone 5b with cold winters and warm, humid summers. Local yards typically deal with fertile loam and clay and hard winter freezes, spring thaw and a defined warm growing season. That’s why Lincoln lawns are usually planted with cool-season Kentucky bluegrass, fescue and ryegrass, with the best results in early fall and mid-spring. A local pro factors all of this in — read more in our guide.
When to schedule drainage work in Lincoln
Drainage problems in Lincoln show up worst after heavy rain, and fixes can be installed year-round. Lincoln’s conditions make spring and fall common times to tackle a soggy yard.
