Q: What’s the Best Type of Grass for My North Texas Yard?
A: Choosing the right grass for your North Texas lawn depends on your yard’s sunlight, how much wear and tear it gets, and your preferences for appearance and maintenance. Here’s a quick breakdown of the top choices:
1. Bermuda Grass
Best for: Full sun, high-traffic areas
Sun/Shade Tolerance: Needs 6–8+ hours of sunlight
Durability: Very tough and recovers quickly
Appearance: Dense, fine to medium texture, bright green
Notes: Popular for active families and those who like a lush look with minimal shade.
2. St. Augustine Grass
Best for: Lawns with partial shade
Sun/Shade Tolerance: Tolerates some shade; needs 4–6 hours of sun
Durability: Moderate—less wear-tolerant than Bermuda
Appearance: Wide blades, dark green, carpet-like
Notes: Great choice for older, tree-filled neighborhoods.
3. Zoysia Grass
Best for: A balance of sun/shade and a thick, manicured look
Sun/Shade Tolerance: Handles partial shade well
Durability: Very dense and wear-resistant
Appearance: Soft, dark green, and slow-growing
Notes: Ideal if you want a luxury lawn feel, but it requires more patience to establish.
