How Long Will It Take For A High-Quality Grass Seed To Grow?
That's not an easy question because there are several variables that come into play such as your location, the climate, how much sun you get yearly, the kind of soil you are working with, and whether or not you have an excellent source of water.
Speaking of climate, if you live in a cooler climate you will be working with cool-season grasses such as Kentucky bluegrass, fine fescue, perennial ryegrass, and tall fescue. If your climate is on the opposite end of the pole and you are living in a warm climate, you will be working with warm-season grasses such as St. Augustine, Bermuda, and Zoysia grasses.
When choosing the right seed for your yard, look for seeds that are drought tolerant, disease resistant, and what their maintenance level is. If you have a lot of things on your plate, a grass demanding high maintenance will probably not work well for you. Choose the right grass for your project from the beginning not when you're halfway through it.
