How do I choose the right grass type for my lawn?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

South Jersey lawns typically use cool-season grasses. Tall fescue is the most popular choice for its drought tolerance and heat resistance. Kentucky bluegrass offers a lush appearance but needs more water and care. Fine fescue works well in shady areas. Ryegrass is often used for quick overseeding. A mix of fescue types provides the best results.

Why It Matters

Choosing the right grass type for your sun, soil, and maintenance preferences determines whether your lawn thrives or struggles.
