The next step to growing a healthy green lawn is to know when to plant. As with any plant, that depends largely on where you live and the type of grass you plan to grow."

From arid to temperate to tropical climates, there are grasses that can thrive, no matter where you call home. Sun or shade? Sandy or clay soil? Warm temperature or cold? These are all important questions, and knowing your environment is the first step in finding the best grass seed for your needs."

A running dog’s paws can crush grass blades and dislodge swatches of turf. Running usually only causes problems when dogs repeatedly run across the same stretch of land. Carex (sedge) is a very attractive grass to use a contemporary alternative to traditional mown lawn turf. If you want to grass a patch of land (such as a front garden) that nobody ever walks across, carex is a great option.
