Turf: Grass Types
Find Your Grass Type
We all have those areas in our yard where grass just seems impossible to grow successfully. Ideally, a blend of grass varieties and types makes the best solution since different grasses have different qualities, characteristics and habits. It is important when planning to seed your yard that you consider a blend or mixture of turf varieties. This will help ensure that your lawn has the proper plant for the proper environment.
