Caring for Lawns: Greener Grass and Nicer Yards

 

Variations in soil, climate, and even environmental legislation can affect how the same variety of grass grows in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

 

GrassSites.com is a portal of sorts to nine types of grass typically used for residential or commercial lawns.  These grass types are Bermuda Grass, Centipede Grass, Carpetgrass, Bentgrass, Zoysia, Fescue, Bahia Grass, Buffalo Grass and St. Augustine Grass.

 

The Grass Types page provides a handy comparison of all nine varieties including the conditions under which each thrive.  From that page, you can link to dedicated web sites for each type of grass that detail the Planting, Mowing, Watering, and Fertilization recommendations.  You will also find helpful information on the identification and treatment of problems like fungus, insects, and weeds.  A review of useful lawn care tools and their relevance to your type of grass is provided as an extra benefit.

 

Landscaping goes back in history long before the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the interest continues today.  For some, lawn care is a hobby; for others, a work of art.  Admittedly, keeping up with your grass can be a chore at times but for those who are patient and diligent, a well-kept lawn can create a personal sense of accomplishment and improve the value of your home or business.

 

Take your time and browse our websites at your leisure.  If you expect to plant a lawn soon but haven't decided on the type of grass, we recommend that you research your local conditions carefully, choose the best possible grass regardless of cost, and then select a quality seed or sod provider.  Years from now, you will appreciate your investment even more.

 

We hope you'll visit here often as you pursue the perfect lawn!
