what type of grass do I have?
Comments (2)Please post a picture taken on a cloudy day or in the shade. There's far too much contrast to see the grass and weeds. Also tell us where you live. We can eliminate the northern grasses if you live in the south and vice versa....See MoreHelp Part 2? What type of grass do I have?
Comments (0)Hello GW! Can anyone help out with what type of grass I have? I posted my front yard 2 minutes ago and this is now my front yard. Looking to reseed some areas and need to first figure out what type of I have. Thanks very much!...See MoreHelp Part 2? What type of grass do I have?
Comments (6)Sorry for the confusion. This is my front yard and the other pic is my back yard. How do I get rid of the crab grass? I live in Southern California. I will just want to look at this front yard grass. For the back yard grass, my kids will probably run around on it. I get tons of sun and not too much shade. Yes - I'm willing to water and move weekly. Right now my sprinklers go on everyday for 15 minutes and I also hand water the grass once a week and try to give more water to the brown/empty areas. Just attached another pic of my front yard lawn. Can you tell what type of grass it is from this new pic? Thanks for your help!...See MoreWhat type of grass do I have (pictures)?
Comments (5)Grass that dense is very likely to be Kentucky bluegrass. It is the type of grass that spreads and forms a dense sod without overseeding. If the grass is thin close to buildings or on the north side of fences and trees, then KBG is even more likely. The alternatives are rye grass and fescue. Both of those require overseeding to remain dense. Rye grows in full sun while fescue can tolerate much more shade than the other two. In the future the best pictures of grass are taken on a cloudy day or in the shade....See Moresilveriofr
