Grasses In Different Parts Of The Country

Some homeowners want a perfect lawn, meticulously kept; others are contented with a weedy coarse-textured sward. The former will devote much time and money to the lawn and may choose elegant grasses, such as those used for golf greens, which require a great deal of care. The latter may not object to coarser "hay grasses, '' so long as they require little attention.

Most homeowners choose a lawn somewhere in between. They want a nice-looking lawn that is serviceable and requires little care.

A wide selection to meet these requirements is available. For the North, the Kentucky bluegrasses, fine fescues, perennial ryegrasses, and colonial bent grasses are suitable; for the South, Bermuda, zoysia, centipede, St. Augustine, and Bahia grasses are favored. (Vegetative plantings of the improved varieties must be made, since they do not come in true seed form.)

Traditionally, a distinction has been made between "show" lawns in front of the house and utility lawns in less conspicous places. Although grass seed is packaged for both uses, there is often little difference; any varieties serve for either. If you want a better yawn check with your local lawn care garden expert to see what they recommend in the proper seed to use. Then plant as they recommend. There are lots of different grasses to use in different parts of the country you will need to consult your local professionals to see what seed is best for you. Sometime this is difficult to do so you need to have patience because they are busy you need to stay easy so you do not get mad. Stay loose so you do not go crazy.
