Grass Seed Descriptions:

Bahia Grass - Bahia grass is used for lower input lawns, roadside erosion control and pastures. It is planted from the deep south to Texas to North Carolina to Florida. It has a narrow blade with attractive green leaves. Bahia grass is used extensively for pasture and erosion control throughout the Southern states. Much more winter hardy than Argentine Bahiagrass. Good drought resistance with a deep root system.

Bent Grass - Outsidepride.com has a great selection of bent grass seeds which are some of the most beautiful grasses in the United States with their fine texture, thick density, and low growing habit. Bentgrass is considered the luxury grass of the cool season grasses and is used through America for both lawns and golf courses alike.

Bermuda Grass - This perennial grass grows in tropical, sub-tropical and the transition zones. Found extensively on lawns, golf courses, sports fields and arenas, reclamation areas, parks, and coastal areas. While bermuda grass is known as a durable grass, you will need to work on it to have a lawn that thrives and is the envy of the neighborhood. In most cases, bermuda grass will flourish when mowed consistently at the correct height, irrigated when needed, and fertilized regularly.

Blends - Grass seed blends are comprised of grasses of the same species.  For example, our OSP ryegrass blend is three different rye grasses varieties all blended together for form the best turf possible.  Blends give you diversity so where one variety may not perform well for certain conditions, another variety will take over and be aggressive.

Bluegrass - We offer several different bluegrasses such as: Kentucky bluegrass, rough bluegrass, poa supina bluegrass for exceptional shade tolerance, and creeping bluegrass for home putting greens or where you want to keep a very low mowed turf in the shade.  All of our bluegrass seeds are of the highest quality and can be used on lawns, parks, golf courses, etc.

Buffalo Grass - Buffalo grass is a perennial grass native to the Great Plains from Montana to Mexico. In Texas, it is commonly found from South Texas to the Texas Panhandle; but is rarely found on the sandy soils in the eastern part of the state or in the high rainfall areas of southeast Texas. It is one of the grasses that supported the great herds of buffalo that roamed the Great Plains. Buffalograss also provided the sod from which early settlers built their houses.

Carpet Grass - Carpet grass grows primarily well in wet, shady areas and even grows well on extremely wet acid soils (ph 5-5.5) where no other grass will survive. Requires irrigation on dry soils. It is a warm season, creeping, perennial grass. It is coarse bladed and make a dense turf. The downside of carpet grass is it is shallow rooted and therefore is not drought tolerant. It is as cold tolerant as centipede grass, but has poor salt tolerance.

Centipede Grass - Centipede grass is slow growing but highly aggressive grass that can be depended upon to produce a good, dense, relatively weed-free turf at low maintenance levels. Centipede grass was introduced by seed from China in 1919. It is medium in texture with a pale to medium green color. In spite of its aggressiveness, Centipede grass is easily controlled and usually requires edging only once a year around walks and flowerbeds.

Envirolawn Grass - Envirolawn is blended from a hardy, low-growing hard fescue, and nitrogen-fixing clover. This new lawn alternative eliminates the high-maintenance requirements of a conventional grass lawn while it maintains an attractive, always green, low-growing landscape. Sprinkled with annual and perennial flowers for extra color, Envirolawn is ideal for golf course roughs and low-maintenance areas around office parks, cemeteries and parks.

Fescue Grass - Fescue grasses are some of the most diverse grasses there are.  Turf type fescue makes a very durable and hard lawn grass that can tolerate drought and wear and tear.  It gets an extensive root system so it does not need much water.  Fine Fescues are very soft and do very well in the shade compared to turf type fescue.  Fine fescues such as hard fescue and sheeps fescue are also used for erosion control as they are lower growing.

Mixtures - Grass seed mixtures are when you take different species (unlike blends where it is the same species) and you mix them together to form a diverse turf.  A common example would be combining ryegrass and fine fescue in to one mixture.  Mixtures give you great diversity for areas where sun/shade may be an issue or wet/dry soils may be an issue.  The species that does best will dominate in that respective climate, but the species look similar enough you can't tell one grass from another in the mixture.

Putting Green Grass - We offer a broad line of seeds that can be used for putting greens including bermuda grass, creeping bent grass, and creeping bluegrass.  Therefore, no matter what climate you live in we have the putting green seed for you.  Improve your golf game today with your own backyard putting green.

Rye Grass - Designed for new seeding or overseeding of lawns, parks, playgrounds, athletic fields, golf courses, rough areas and fairways, perennial ryegrass aids in quick turf development. Ryegrass can also give you high disease resistance and insect resistance. Our ryegrasses are high quality, fine leaf mixtures ensuring the professional turf manager and homeowner the appearance and durability they need and desire in a full sun area.

Seashore Paspalum - Seashore Paspalum is the first release of an improved, seeded Seashore Paspalum. An extremely salt tolerant warm season turfgrass, Seashore Paspalum has outstanding turf quality, a bright green color, and a beautiful, uniform appearance. Ideal for temperate to hot, humid coastal climates, Sea shore Paspalum also affords excellent drought tolerance and good shade tolerance. Excellent for use on turfgrass areas irrigated with effluent water or subject to naturally high saline conditions.

Shade Grass - Not all grasses are created equal when it comes to shade tolerance.  You have good grass for shade in the North half of the U.S. and you have good grasses for shade in the South half of the U.S.  Our Shade Grass link lists the best shade grasses we offer and gives you a description of which climates they are best used in.  For cool season areas. Poa Supina is the best shade grass there is.  For warm season areas where a warm season grasses is needed, zoysia grass is the best warm season shade grass.

Zoysia Grass - Zoysia grass is the most elegant, fine textured lawn grass grown in the South. In many ways, it is the epitome of what we want and expect in a lawn. It is lush, dark green, and forms a dense cover. A well grown Zoysia grass lawn is so thick that it physically prevents weeds from entering. It will thrive in the summer heat but it will not be bothered by freezing temperatures. It is also more resistant to insects and diseases than many other lawn grasses. Not only it is a lawn grass, Zoysiagrass is wear tolerant and can be used on golf courses, athletic fields (baseball and softball), and parks.
