How Do I Know Which Turfgrass is the Right Choice for My Lawn?

A beautiful lawn will enhance the appeal of your landscape, while a poor one will detract it. The perfect turfgrass for your lawn not only increases the aesthetic appeal and economic value of your landscape, but it also creates the perfect space for outdoor activities, helps in soil erosion control, filters pollutants, and more. Therefore, it’s important to choose the right turfgrass.

Here’s what to consider in choosing the right turfgrass for your lawn:

What is your desired amount of maintenance?

Do you want a lawn that is highly manicured and professionally tended, or just an average lawn that requires a small or medium amount of input and effort in terms of maintenance? Choose a lawn that you can afford to maintain without straining your pockets and time.

Do you need a warm season, cool season or a grass seed mixture?

Finding the right seasonal grass seed or grass seed mixture is important in planting and obtaining a great lawn. You don’t want to plant a warm season grass only for it to be frozen by harsh winter temperatures, or plant a cool season grass for it to be destroyed by scorching summer heat.

What are the environmental and soil conditions where you live?
