There are many different varieties of grasses growing in residential lawns. In general, grasses are divided into two types: cool season and warm season. Cool season grasses are most popular in the United States for their ability to retain a green color throughout cold weather (though cool season grasses will eventually fade or brown in the coldest temperatures.) Examples of cool season grasses include Kentucky bluegrass, tall and fine fescue and ryegrass.
Warm season grasses usually brown after the first frost of the year. Though primarily used in the Southern US, they can be found all the way up to the Canadian border. Bermuda grass, zoysia and buffalo grass are all varieties of warm season grass.
Because of their different growth patterns, warm and cool season grasses must be fertilized at different times in the year. To find out exactly what kind of grass you have and the best times to fertilize, contact Ever So Green at 517-518-8523!
