The Greenest Lawns Begin With Lowe’s
Whether you’re overseeding or starting from scratch, Lowe’s has the products you need to grow the greenest grass on the block.
Grass Types
Bermuda grass grows well in the South and is commonly found on golf courses because it tolerates low mowing and foot traffic. This means it’ll also stand up to kids and pets for a season of plush beauty. To maintain its thick, dense texture, a good amount of fertilization and watering is required. A perennial grass, Bermuda turns brown in the winter and reemerges green in the spring and summer. It’s sensitive to the cold, so check your zone to determine if Bermuda or zoysia will work best for your lawn.
Zoysia grass offers a slow-growing, thick, spreading coverage that does well in moderate temperatures. The blades can be a bit prickly as they grow to a sharp point. Sow zoysia seed in the spring for the best results for a new lawn. Once the lawn is established, you can move into maintenance mode because it’s a perennial grass. Zoysia will turn brown in the winter but return to its full green glory when the weather warms.
Perennial ryegrass grows best in cooler climates. It tolerates foot traffic well and germinates quickly. Unlike other grasses, it isn’t especially thirsty. Water your ryegrass moderately and enjoy a soft, dark green lawn kids and pets will love year after year.
Of course, if you’re looking to add visual interest to your landscaping, shop ornamental grasses, like Chinese silver grass or pampas grass. Decorative in nature, the feathery plumes of ornamental grass look great in both traditional gardens and naturally inspired areas.
Whatever you choose for your lawn, Lowe’s is here to support you season after season. Shop for grass seed, sod, fertilizer and weed prevention to ensure that your lawn is the envy of the neighborhood.
