The Grass We Tread On Has Many Names
from:Gone are the days when lawns used to stretch up hill and down dale, and could be seen from any window of the stately homes they graced. Even today, you have lawns, which are more than 5 to 10 acres, but they are quite rare. The average lawn is just the pint-sized square in an average white fenced backyard. Nevertheless, a lawn is a must for a person who is a dedicated gardener, because a well-kept lawn seems to be a matter of owner’s pride, neighbor’s prejudice. There are different types of lawns which can be found in gardens, for example sod lawns and turf lawns and they depend upon the grass, which is used to make them.
First of all, you have to make sure that before you go in for selecting the best grass for your lawn, you have to see whether it suits the soil and the atmosphere. It is of no use planting a drought resistant grass in an area where you can get plenty of water. Fescue is an excellent grass, which makes really good lawns. On the other hand, you can also choose between Kentucky Bluegrass, Ryegrass, and even grasses, which can make excellent turf. Fine Fescue comes in a number of varieties, especially Red Fescue. If you happen to be living in a dry area, you would want to look for draught tolerant grasses. Many grasses are often used in a mixture; for example, Kentucky Bluegrass is often mixed with Chewing Fescue, Fine Fescue and Red Fescue. There are some grasses, which are considered warm season grasses and cold season grasses, which are quite suitable for the climate of North America. One has to remember that if there is some rain during the summer months, the grass is going to be dormant. The grass types which are good for cold climates, which mean the winters are cold and the summers are hot, are Kentucky Bluegrass, Red Fescue, Ryegrass and Bent grass.
If you happen to be living in an area where both the winter and the summer is quite mild you are going to make sure that your lawns, whether they be sod lawns or turf lawns are seeded with grass, which might belong to these different varieties, like St. Augustine Carpet Bermuda, Bahia, and Centipede etc. Many of these varieties grow much better if they are started from sod or plugs instead of seed. That is the reason why you can get long expansions of sod and turf lawns in such mild climates. There is another different climate zone, which comes under the name of a transition zone. You can consider this to be in a lower elevation area, and the grasses, which grow, here are Ryegrass, Red and Tall Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass, as well as a number of combinations of other grasses with Kentucky Bluegrass. Other grasses that grow here are Zoysia and Thermal Blue.
