If you want to create a beautiful lawn, you will need to know which seed to use. This isn’t just about a plant that looks good, but also one that matches your home and the geographical location you live in. The best thing to do is to get native grass seed, as this will always thrive in your area. However, there are other grasses you can use as well, or you could combine different seeds together. What you need to learn about, therefore, is which grass seed varieties exist, and what the pros and cons of each see are individually. Luckily, none of this is rocket science. Once you know what to look for, you should be able to get the perfect seed for the perfect lawn.

Which Grass Seed to Choose

They say that the grass is always greener on the other side, and one of the reasons why that expression is so often used is because people look for grass that has a beautiful coloring. However, if you were to create a template of the “perfect” grass, it is likely that you would talk about more things than color as well. You are likely to want lawn that doesn’t end up developing brown patches, that doesn’t have to be watered all the time, and that grows at a rate that means you only have to mow it every few months. And while we are told that “he who wants, never gets”, this is actually exactly what you can get.

What you should be looking for here is a grass seed mixture, one that has its basis in native grass seed, but that has other additions to. Those additions should, under no circumstances, be chemicals, however. After all, you don’t want to destroy the planet for the sake of a lawn, and you probably also want your family, including your pets, to be safe.

The ideal seed mixture has long roots that burrow deeply into the soil. This means that the grass doesn’t need much watering, as it can find its own moisture. It is also slow to grow upwards, however, which means you rarely have to pow it. In fact, if you use your lawn, you may not have to mow it at all. Best of all, these mixtures have and keep a beautiful color and they grow lushly without you needing to use chemical or toxic treatments. Plus, since you will have a lawn that naturally grows slowly, your water bills go down as well. So essentially, you save both the environment and a whole lot of money.

By choosing native grass seed mixtures that are free from chemicals, you are doing something to protect the planet. At the same time, you may sure that you don’t have to spend every weekend stuck at home because you have to do the garden all the time. Instead, you can enjoy your time off, while at the same time enjoying a truly beautiful lawn as well.
