Identify Your Grass Type - Sta-Green Lawn Care Program

Before you begin the 3-step process, you should determine what type of grass you have and which Sta-Green products will work best for your lawn.

There are many types of grass, but they all basically fall into two categories:

1. Cool season grasses are grass types that remain green all year round. The most common types of cool season grasses are tall fescue, bluegrass, ryegrass and creeping red fescue. They can be grown individually or as mixes.
2. Warm season grasses are grass types that go brown, or dormant in the winter. The most common types of warm season grasses are Bermuda, St. Augustine, centipede, zoysia and bahia. Warm season grasses are not commonly mixed together.

Knowing what type of grass you have in your lawn will make it easy to choose the correct Sta-Green products that will make it easy to keep your lawn lush, green and weed free.

You should also know the size of your lawn to ensure you have the right amount of fertilizer for good coverage. Sta-Green products come in two bag sizes to cover either 5,000 sq. ft. or 15,000 sq. ft. Check the bag for recommended coverage.

The next chapter in this series will discuss step 1 in the 3-step process for year-round lawn health. The video can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQfyX7ja4TE

The video covers pre-emergent herbicides which should never be used at the same time you are seeding. If you plan to seed a new lawn, or overseed your existing lawn, skip to step 2 in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8cqIRQkJUY

Let a new or overseeded lawn establish for at least 2-3 months before using a pre-emergent herbicide.

When he said Bahia, I though he was clearing his throat.
