Here at
Seedland.com we help walk you through the proper steps to choosing a
quality "long lived" beautiful green turf quality lawn.
One that will be the envy of your neighbors. However like any major construction
project (and you are constructing a lawn!) --- You must establish and follow
basic guidelines and rules that turfgrass agronomists have developed over the years.
You can also improve the chances of
selecting the best lawn and one day having a successful lawn by consulting with lawn care
experts and homeowners in your local area. They know what works best, and
doesn't work for your particular area.
If you're now ready to begin...
The first step is to choose the best lawn grass for your particular need, situation, soil
type and location:

- SEEDED LAWNS - Which one? |
The correct lawn grass for your
location depends on several factors. You should select the best one by exploring the
list of choices and narrowing your list until the best and most practical choice is left.
To help you through this narrowing process, we have developed our web site www.lawngrasses.com
- Which will assist you in your lawn selection. As you read through the material at
lawngrasses.com, be sure and consider each factor below in your determination:
| Grassing.com
- FACTORS IN GRASS SELECTION |
The first Choice factor is determining
if you need a Cool Season or Warm Season grass, or even possibly that
you need a grass suitable for the Transition zone area -- which many times may
result in using a combination mixture of both warm and cool season grasses in your lawn.
(See map below). Once you know this question, the next step should be to consider
the various aspects of a lawn:
- Do you want a high-maintenance lawn? Or a
low-maintenance lawn? Or just average? Keep in mind that higher maintenance means
both time and money. But it also results in a more beautiful "turf
quality" lawn. Does the cost matter to you?
- What kind of area are you wanting to plant? Is it wet
or dry?, shady?, sandy or clay?, a sloped or level site? Review the page on site-plan as this will be one of the decisions made with
your plan.
- What will the use be of this lawn? For looks?
For play? For sports? For erosion control? Or just to have
something green growing?
- Will it have heavy traffic or light traffic?
Traffic is foot traffic such as kids walking and running on the grass... or perhaps a pet
- Different grasses handle these aspects differently.
Prioritize the importance of each one of these aspects, So that you can then
select and rank the different grasses in relation to your lawn needs.
