Here, they discuss the most common turfgrass options for locals and the advantages to each.

The Irrigation Pros’ Guide to Finding Your Ideal Grass Type

Bermuda

Bermuda grass is a warm-season species, which means it grows best in high temperatures. For this reason, lawns with full sun exposure provide an ideal environment for this species. There are different subspecies of Bermuda grass available, including Yukon, Riviera, and Blackjack, all of which are fast-growing and fairly drought-tolerant.

Fescue

On the flip side is Fescue, a cool-season variety that thrives in temperatures ranging in the 60s and 70s. Therefore, it performs best for yards with moderate shade. Fescue subspecies include Fine Fescue and Fescue Blends, both of which are very durable and suitable for lawns that sustain a fair amount of traffic.

Zoysia

Anyone seeking a vibrant, dense lawn should consider warm-season Zoysia grass. It performs best in full sun and is one of the simplest grasses to maintain. This variety can also sustain heavy traffic. However, unlike Fescue, it is far more heat tolerant, as it can withstand temperatures up to 100 degrees. It tends to brown once the temperature drops into the 50s, though.

Whatever grass variety suits your property, regular watering is the key to a healthy, lush lawn.
