Selecting the right grass type is critical for the health and appearance of your lawn. The proper choice results in an appealing turf all year long, while the wrong one could require significant lawn maintenance for only subpar results. If you want to improve the look of your lawn, here are some tips for selecting the ideal grass type.

Understanding Your Choices

Buffalo Grass

This grass type is ideal for planting near the back of your landscape or in any out-of-the-way area that doesn’t require much upkeep. Regardless of your geographical location, if a section of turf is difficult to deliver fertilizer to or doesn’t receive adequate rainfall, buffalo grass provides a strong, fast-growing solution. Widely popular in even the coldest of areas, it lends every part of your yard a healthy, gorgeous appearance.

Perennial Ryegrass & Bermudagrass

Whether you frequently walk through a path in the garden or routinely tend to flowers on your front lawn, these resilient grasses stand strong against traffic, maintaining a luscious appearance. Keep up with lawn maintenance, and even the busiest areas will look their best.

Your climate determines which of these types is best. While both are suitable for busy areas, perennial ryegrass lasts well through the winters, making it ideal for those in snowy climates. Bermudagrass delivers similar results in warmer climates, recovering quickly from wear and tear. 

Seashore Paspalum

This salt-tolerant selection is a must-have for landscapes affected by salt sprays, especially homes that rest directly on the water. If you live in an area where waves make their way well past the shore, opt for this resilient grass type. 

Mixed Selections

These mixed selections include an array of species hand-selected by the seed company. A multispecies combination helps your grass grow long and strong, achieving better results than a single species could offer.
