Lawn Choices

Jason Atkins- Feb 2015

 

I get asked all the time "what is the best choice of grass for this area" and it's a simple answer.

It just depends on what you are expecting your turf to be used for. Usually I hate when someone answers a question with a question, but for this example you really have to ask that question. I recommend planting warm season grasses in this area such as zoysia, centipede or bermuda grass. But with these grasses you will have a dormant period throughout the winter months that will require you to over seed with an annual rye grass in order to keep that lush green apperance. For some, fescue is a good choice. If you have irrigation and a well-drained or slightly shade property this may be a good fit. It will look good throughout the year unless it is extremely dry or hot, but those are two things that you will most definetly deal with by living here in North Carolina. So keep a few things in mind when choosing your lawn material. First, consider available water from irrigation, second, consider drainage and third, what is the year round apperance you are seeking.
