types of grass for lawns
Once you have chosen a type of grass, you can consider which specific specie of grass is best for you. Lawns can also be made up of a mixture of grass species to take advantage of the different characteristics of different grasses. Kentucky Bluegrass is the most common cool season grass. This grass looks great and is known for having a lush texture, but it needs a lot of maintenance, and it is easily killed by too much heat or shade. Ryegrass and Fescue types of grass are much more resilient and are often mixed with Bluegrass.
