Yards & conditions in Madison
Madison sits in USDA hardiness zone 5a 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 Madison 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 landscaping in Madison
