What Grass Should You Plant

Lawn Guides → www.freelawnca...
Doc talks about what grass to plant and why these decisions are made. Weather zones, sunlight, are just two of the factors in choosing the grass that is right for your lawn.

I'm trying indica this year.

[@raymondharrell2534]

Just visited Tybee Island light house last week and passed by your beach house. Yard is looking good!

[@Terry11111]

I'm loving the progress in that house .. with the railing and all. Looks great 👍

[@zacd7094]

People are so mad on fb that I follow doc. I wish he could be reached easier but I understand how busy he is! All my products are in new sod laid last sept. Pgf Blanca about 65 degrees and then super juice how many weeks later?

[@edwindiaz3393]

Hi Doc. Your new house taking shape now. AMAZING! I'm in San Antonio TX I'm seeding Bermudagrass, I agree Bermudagrass likes it short. I'm cutting it with a rotary mower but my next mower will be a reel mower. MacLaine. 👍 Shady season grass would be my suggestion because of your high trees. Thanks again. Edwin

[@ImStuckInStockton]

Which variety? I'm in SA and seeded Arden 15 Bermuda last year. Only lawn that stayed green over winter on my street 😎

[@bgboyette1]

I have zenith zoysia on the north side of my house and it only gets a couple hours of sunlight in the morning and a couple hours in the afternoon and it's doing great. Blue heat KGB and zenith zoysia would be cool to try.

[@Nikolasto77]

House looks absolutely amazing! Great job!

[@rt66ok]

9:14 I’m overseeding my common bermuda lawn with Barenbrug RTF. I’m a zone 6B in NE Kansas. I hope to be irrigated by mid spring to help me get through July and August heat.

[@jamesarnold5100]

Love the video… house looks amazing 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@tholmes6902]

Johnathan Green Black Beauty Ultra is what I have and it is nice drak green all year. Sneads Ferry, N.C

[@j.m.7056]

Great design choices in the house. Simple and elegant!

[@harperexplores9349]

Blue-muta. We have mazama KBG overseed of a Tiffany 419 Bermuda on a golf course. Amazing and green all year long.

[@chrislambert5249]

Great opening on your video.🎈💥💨🇺🇸

[@mitchellstanton83]

I just ordered some Kentucky Bluegrass - Hybrid SPF-30. It’s a cross with a Texas grass that is suppose to be: SPF 30 Grass Characteristics Increased shade tolerance Increased wear tolerance Allows sod to self-repair Competitive nature reduces clumping and of leaf blade width that occurs in other grasses with age Ideal partner in mixes with turf type fescure Aggressive growth habit Optimum mowing height of 2 - 5 inches

[@jesuscasarez8265]

Try planting St.Augustine that’s one I’ve never seen you cover before on your channel

[@kennethsmith3073]

i been doing a lot of research. and watching vedios. and im going with a tall fescue. it has a great root system. and it stay green all year around and it is shade tolerance and heat and drought tolerance. i wanted kbg but for now i wanna restart fresh and kill my front and then get the grass going by the end of feb and then kill the back and restart in the fall .

[@sandieweatherup]

Will you make a new putting green at the farm property?

[@joeolejar]

I have deep shade behind the house. Will Shade Savant seed do well?

[@nancyhedden6309]

I live in Forney tx which is close to Dallas and we have two areas that are total shade. What grass should be plant. We have a bermuda lawn which I do not like

[@michaelboyle1277]

What about using Texas Bluegrass? Do you know if that is a more heat tolerant variety of Bluegrass?

[@TheWrights-qf9bj]

For the Farm Yard you should consider Tahoma 31 Bermuda. 60% shade tolerant, drought resistant. The Superbowl will be played on Tahoma 31 this year as were the NFC and AFC Championship Games.

[@ashleymeggan]

Ughhhh I felt so bad for the Tahoma 31 ppl when the Super Bowl grass was problematic bc EVERYONE loves Tahoma 31. It is REALLY nice.

[@JoseGonzalez-ym5dk]

What type of grass should I have in zone 8

[@muralles6]

I have Bermuda in my back yard but too much shade and patio doesn't allow much sunlight so it doesn't grow. My soil is hard too. Should I use a tiller to rotate soil

[@BigAlby]

Sounds like you are leaning towards seed but have you looked at something like Zorro Zoysia or a variety that is more shade tolerant than Zenith?

[@Mr.sunnyrai]

I live in fresno area. 100 degree heat through the summer and very dry heat, What is recommended? I have tried burmuda but almost always browns with summer heat.

[@xaviertx89]

Elegant house doc🎉

[@jeremyscherbert7336]

So my conditions currently are about 6 inches of snow... what kind of grass should I plant 😊

[@cynthiarafferty7662]

Northern Illinois, Chicago suburb...we had a neighbor who had a beautiful, thick green lawn. He told us to grow the lawn from seed he use to go out in February or March and put down grass seed (I don't remember what type) on top of a thin layer of snow. The other neighbors thought he was nuts until his lawn was established and looked great every year. He would hit up areas that needed to be filled in using this method. He never watered his lawn that much or had too many weeds either. Sturdy grass.

[@jeremyscherbert7336]

@Cynthia Rafferty well done, took my bad joke and actually turned it into something useful 👍

[@israelvalle9007]

Does this information apply to St. Augustine? Thank you.

[@larryclausen8907]

Great update

[@justinrichardson3864]

Can you do a video about sharpening the blades on your Ego mower?

[@dinorell]

Hey Doc, have you ever considered planting micro clover with your other seed? I am really giving it consideration. Thanks, Mike in Memphis.

[@magnuspiotrowicz7662]

Hey chief. I wish i could get your american seed over to sweden. But my wondering is how i can translate your zone into swedish climate to know what seeds could fit here. Winter from December to March with temps around -10°c to +5°c. And summer +10°c to +28°c.

[@adamghazal9204]

Great video. Thanks Doc

[@fireball2516]

How about a centipede grass guide? thanks

[@rrobertson4191]

You still get a discount thru McClane reel mowers thru you? About to buy my first one.

[@TheHusongMethod]

Doc!! Can you do a “Bluemuda” plot?? ??

[@davinathomas1964]

I used to have beautiful grass here in MI zone 6b until my neighbor began feeding feral cats and my lawn is now a litter box..long story…however do you know a trick to keep cats out my yard?

[@leevize6045]

Dutch clover. I need the “easy button” for my yard.

[@truthhurts7529]

What I don’t like about seeding is that I can still feel the lumpy ground. With sod, you get the fresh new base and it feels like a real yard

[@taylorreynolds8938]

It’s not suppose to be grown up in Indiana, but how impossible would it be?

[@cgee4657]

Paint the shed to match the house

[@ROG956]

Why doesn’t Doc ever mention St. Augustine grass?

[@xAToGbV2fl]

Most St. Augustine cultivars have poorer cold tolerance than other grasses, so not recommended for North Georgia. Some newer varieties like CitraBlue seem to handle it decently though.

[@carlosjrf]

I live i Georgia. I’m struggling with my back yard. It’s mostly bermuda and it’s spotty at best. The yard has a slight decline. I have irrigation system. I get about 4-6 hours of sun. We pay a service to treat the lawn. I’m frustrated that the grass is not looking better. No weeds though. What should I do?

[@bobrichter6]

Combine Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue & St. Augustines.......?

[@ripmaster896]

Cool season grass has to much disease like in his video spring season scalp that's and your always reseeding and it's to cold to go out side . And you can't mix rye grass with bermuda because of the reaction that the rye has when it burns out .

[@ripmaster896]

@Ben Sexton well I'm in California so it's way different here.

[@jigsawnq]

Spy balloons. Get em outta here!

[@beerbeforebreakfast]

Zoysia will win!

You’ve totally forgot to tell us you’ve planted money trees on one of your properties. 😂
