Not all grass is created equal! In this video, Michael Miller, Licensed Lawn Technician at Oasis Turf & Tree, explains how to choose the best turf grass for your lawn based on climate, texture, color, and resistance to disease and insects. You’ll learn:

  • The three main climate zones in the U.S. (cold, warm & transition)
  • How grass types like Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, Bermuda, fine fescue, tall fescue, and turf-type tall fescue perform in different regions
  • Why qualities like color, texture, shade tolerance, and insect/disease resistance matter when choosing grass
  • Why turf-type tall fescue is the best option for lawns in the transition zone (Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, etc.)
  • How overseeding with high-quality grass seed builds a thicker, healthier lawn—and keeps weeds out
