How to Choose the Right Grass Seed for Your Region

How to Choose the Right Grass Seed for Your Region

When selecting the type of grass seed to use on your property, there are numerous factors to take into account, including sun exposure, foot traffic, budgetary constraints, personal preference, and how you’ll be using the space. But don’t forget to consider the climate where your property is located, since certain types of grass grow better in certain areas of the country. Below, we discuss the types of grass that tend to thrive in each region of the United States.

The Pacific Northwest

Because this region features a cool, wet climate, the grasses that grow best are those that can resist any resulting lawn diseases. For properties in the Pacific Northwest, you might consider:

The Northeast

When compared to certain other regions, the Northeast tends to produce quite low temperatures. Winters are cold, and even summers are relatively cool (despite there often being high humidity levels). With this in mind, residents should opt for grasses that thrive in lower temperatures. Some of the types of grass that flourish in the Northeast include:

The Midwest

Midwest temperatures and humidity levels tend to fluctuate throughout the year, so it’s a smart idea to invest in grasses that grow well in cooler climates. The following grass types often thrive in the Midwest:

The Southwest

In comparison to other regions, the Southwest is much warmer and more arid. As such, residents would do well to select a grass that can withstand high temperatures without needing much water. Some of the grass types that tend to fare well in the Southwest include:

The Southeast

Thanks to the high temperatures and humidity levels common in the Southeast, residents should opt for warm-season grasses. If you’re in this region, you may want to consider the following types of grass for your property:

The Deep South & The Gulf Coast

Given how warm and humid this region tends to be, it’s smart to choose a grass that’s capable of withstanding high temperatures. Some of the grasses that do best in the Deep South and the Gulf Coast include:

The Transitional Region

It can be particularly challenging to select grass seed for this area of the country since humidity levels can fluctuate and temperatures can range from cool to warm. If you’re looking to plant grass in the Transitional region, the following grass types will likely serve you best:
