lawns, golf course fairways, tee boxes, and highly visible areas. Not as shade tolerant as St.

Do you need to change grass types?
Sometimes you can look at your lawn and it just doesn't look the way you want it to.  Maybe you have tried fertilizing it, tried different mowing heights, or
different mowing cycles.  And, you still cannot get the result you want.  So how do you know when you need to change grass types or to re-sod your lawn?

Well, there are many factors that one needs to consider when one makes the choice to change grass types.  First of all--where and how much shade does
your yard get?  This is one of the largest factors to consider since certain grasses require more sunlight than others.  If you have a large presence of
trees, you probably need a different type of grass.  A second point to consider is how much water your yard will require.  Do you live in a place where you
could possibly be under a water restriction at some point?  A grass that requires a great deal of water would perish quickly in this situation.

Another consideration that could cause a change in grass types is the amount of traffic.  Is your yard the site of outdoor sports, lots of people, and lots of
activity on a constant basis?  Certain grasses can withstand the pounding better than others.  You also need to consider temperature.  You may also want
to consider the potential of diseases.  Is your yard brown?  It could be brown patch.  There are various forms of patches, molds, and spots that can be
very detrimental to the health of your lawn.  They look unsightly and they can spread pretty quickly.

The final set of criteria involves maintenance and aesthetics.  You may want to change grass types because of fertilization requirements and how often
you can and/or want to mow your lawn.   Do you want a grass that does not require a lot of maintenance or are you are yard person who likes to
constantly improve the look of your lawn.  Finally, and most simply--what do you want your grass to look like?   You may want to change grasses because
you decide you would rather have a coarse blade instead of a finer type.  As you can see, there are a host of items to consider when determining the
need to re-sod your lawn.
