Different types of grass come with different needs and profiles that should be considered before you decide which is right for your lawn.
Choosing grass for your lawn is not a choice homeowners often consider. Isn’t all grass the same anyway? Well, not really. Different types of grass come with different needs and profiles that should be considered before you decide which is right for your lawn. Whether you want a lawn you can keep green year-round or one that eventually goes dormant but is low maintenance, we have the right grass for you.
Kentucky Bluegrass
Known as the “king of lawn grasses,” Kentucky Bluegrass looks amazing while being highly durable. It is a premier choice for Maryland homeowners and farmers due to this inherent property. Kentucky bluegrass is characterized by its shape, which is unique in the grass world. This type of grass is often used on golf courses and in sports arenas due to its resistance to damage and ability to grow back quickly. This grass tolerates most conditions but can go brown and dormant when exposed to extreme heat and drought for long periods.
Tall Fescue
Tall Fescue is another grass that looks amazing, but its durability does not match that of the Kentucky Bluegrass. This grass needs a lighter touch due to its low damage resistance and inability to grow back quickly, but it will produce a vibrant lawn when maintained correctly. It will also handle heat and drought better than Kentucky Bluegrass.
Bermudagrass
Known as the “South’s Grass,” Bermudagrass is vastly popular in the southern states. This grass, much like the Kentucky Bluegrass, is often found on golf courses and sports arenas due to its resilience and ability to outcompete most weeds. Bermudagrass will go dormant at the first frost, turning brown once the weather goes cold. It will, however, produce a vibrant and stunning lawn during the summer months.
Zoysia Grass
Zoysia grass creates a very dense, plush lawn for you to enjoy. This grass is more tolerant than Bermudagrass in some cases, staying green through some sun loss and being less susceptible to drought. This grass will go dormant in winter, but it will brown later than Bermudagrass and turn green in the spring rather than the summer. Due to its thickness, few weeds manage to get through a Zoysia sod layer and its higher tolerance means less maintenance.
