Those who love to have grass on their backyard, here’s the good news for all. These six low-maintenance grasses, suited to various regions, can be mixed with clover or used alone.
Fine Fescues
Region North of the Mason-Dixon Line
Why we love it Most of these grasses tolerate shade. Some, like sheep and hard fescue, require little mowing. All have good disease resistance and cold tolerance, though they can brown out before other grasses in severe heat.
Tall Fescues
Region North to Mid-South
Why we love it This is a tough grass that withstands neglect and is extremely disease and insect-resistant. A good choice for a weekend home, it thrives with little care.
