Abstract/Contents:Discusses the importance of choosing the right type of grass for sodding and seeding projects. States that "choosing the right type of grass is very important and can make a huge difference in terms of both aesthetics and maintenance" and that "one of the primary considerations in choosing a grass for landscaping is the climate zone." Profiles the following cool-season turfgrasses: Kentucky bluegrass, rough bluegrass, annual bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, annual ryegrass, intermediate ryegrass, creeping bentgrass, colonial bentgrass, velvet bentgrass, fine fescues, and tall fescue. Also profiles warm-season grasses: bermudagrass, St. Augustinegrass, centipedegrass, bahiagrass, zoysiagrass, carpetgrass, kikuyugrass, and buffalograss.
