The 4-1-1 on Texas Turfs

Maintaining a healthy green yard can be tricky in Texas, however, there are several resources available online to help take the guess work out if it.  Dead zones are not going to spring back to life without some intervention and not one type of grass is going to work for all neighborhoods. 

Below are links to help provide more information on the types of grasses used in warm weather states.  Each one has their pros and cons - for example some are better for the shade while others are better in high traffic areas.  Selecting the right type of grass for your home is only the start - regular maintenance such as spot treating and reseeding will also help continue to keep your yard looking healthy and green.
