Which Grass Type is Right for Me? – Raleigh Sod Raleigh landscaping

Which grass type is right for me?  We get asked this question a lot and here in Raleigh as growing grass is actually very challenging due to our poor clayey soils and ever changing climate.  In North Raleigh, we mainly say stick to what your neighbors have (if they have decent lawns), which is generally Tall Fescue and it’s many varieties.  We say to seed with a good 3-4 variety seed blend in the fall to provide a good resistance of diseases and heat and drought tolerances, because if only one variety is applied, then you could have a disease that wipes out the whole lawn before you know it!  If you are more into the warm season grasses (Bermuda, Zoysia, Centipede, St. Augustine), which spread but turn brown in the Winter, these can also grow very well here in Raleigh climate, yet need to be planted in late Spring by seed or Sodded.  Warm season grasses will also require many different specifications in order to grow correctly and stay healthy.  This is why it is important for us to come out and discuss with you on what you would like to do in taking your lawn to the next level!
