It is both a cool-season grass and, surprisingly, extremely drought- and heat-tolerant. Its deep root system allows it to endure periods of low rainfall or little watering. Tall fescue requires less maintenance, so it\u2019s a good alternative to other turfgrasses. It has low mowing, fertilization, and nutrient needs. Tall fescue even grows in clay soils.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tall fescue has a medium to dark green color and coarse texture. If maintained correctly, tall fescue can keep its green color year-round. It has a high wear tolerance, so it is often found on sports fields, parks, and playgrounds.<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Classification:<\/strong> Cool-season grass<\/li>    <li><strong>Spreads by:<\/strong> Bunch-type<\/li>    <li><strong>Shade tolerance:<\/strong> High<\/li>    <li><strong>Drought tolerance:<\/strong> Moderate&nbsp;<\/li>    <li><strong>Foot traffic tolerance:<\/strong> Moderate<\/li>    <li><strong>Maintenance needs:<\/strong> Moderate<\/li>    <li><strong>Mowing height: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hgic.clemson.edu\/factsheet\/selecting-a-lawn-grass\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2 \u00bd-3 \u00bd inches<\/a><\/li>    <li><strong>Potential for disease:<\/strong> Moderate.

It is a very tough, resilient turf. It is commonly used on sports fields and golf courses due to its ability to withstand and quickly recover from stress and damage caused by foot traffic.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bermudagrass also can tolerate dry, salty, and humid conditions, so it makes it perfect for coastal locations. It also flourishes in places with full, direct sunlight, and can handle most types of soils.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bermuda grass is a high-density turf grass with a high growth rate and weed-like tendencies. To avoid bermudagrass growing in undesirable areas such as flower beds, it\u2019s best to mulch flower beds and other areas to maintain a barrier.<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Classification:<\/strong> Warm-season grass<\/li>    <li><strong>Spreads by:<\/strong> Stolons, and rhizomes<\/li>    <li><strong>Shade tolerance:<\/strong> Low<\/li>    <li><strong>Drought tolerance: <\/strong>High<\/li>    <li><strong>Foot traffic tolerance: <\/strong>High<\/li>    <li><strong>Maintenance needs:<\/strong> High<\/li>    <li><strong>Mowing height:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/hgic.clemson.edu\/factsheet\/selecting-a-lawn-grass\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00be -1 \u00bd&nbsp; inches<\/a><\/li>    <li><strong>Potential for disease:<\/strong> Low; however, bermudagrass does not tolerate nematodes as well as other turfgrasses<\/li> <\/ul>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Grass Seed Options: <br><\/strong>\u2013<strong> <\/strong>Pennington Bermudagrass Bare Spot (5 lb. bag)<br>\u2013 Pennington Smart Seed Bermudagrass Mix (8.75-lb. bag)<br>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Scotts-18012A-Turf-Builder-Grass\/dp\/B01NALORRH?content-id=amzn1.sym.eba7bd4e-dedb-4570-b09b-0e101a3c98a8%3Aamzn1.sym.eba7bd4e-dedb-4570-b09b-0e101a3c98a8&amp;crid=3G2QPIAKTWYAD&amp;cv_ct_cx=bermudagrass+seed&amp;keywords=bermudagrass+seed&amp;pd_rd_i=B01NALORRH&amp;pd_rd_r=6fa82460-4f9e-404e-9c2e-317cfb206273&amp;pd_rd_w=v7QOt&amp;pd_rd_wg=k8N6Z&amp;pf_rd_p=eba7bd4e-dedb-4570-b09b-0e101a3c98a8&amp;pf_rd_r=KGEKXV5M2HGJ2JSSXN1G&amp;qid=1679580048&amp;sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D&amp;sprefix=bermudagrass+seed%2Caps%2C130&amp;sr=1-4-492482ea-2ad3-4cfe-9d1a-0efc7c5c9374-spons&amp;psc=1&amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzR01SVVJVREtSQzVWJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODM4MTU5QTBEUDNUSlM2S1VQJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAyMzI1NjExMzhTMUUySFg4UjFGJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3Bfc2VhcmNoX3RoZW1hdGljJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ%3D%3D&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnlove-20&amp;linkId=506b9f8167087bf43fc92dd4db9c449e&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Scotts Turf Builder Bermudagrass<\/a> (10-lb. bag)<br>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Hancocks-Highlander-Bermuda-Grass-Seed\/dp\/B0924T7MYB?crid=3G2QPIAKTWYAD&amp;keywords=bermudagrass+seed&amp;qid=1679580048&amp;sprefix=bermudagrass+seed%2Caps%2C130&amp;sr=8-10&amp;ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.5137e923-c7be-4142-979c-7c68b6c26f63&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnlove-20&amp;linkId=1d588a074241278a07bf057c707ba2da&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Hancock Seed Co.

In mild climates like Greenville, it can remain green all winter.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although centipede grass is low-maintenance, it is vulnerable to foot traffic, and too much shade. It is also sensitive to certain herbicides. During times of drought, centipedegrass needs extra watering because its root system is very shallow.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Centipedegrass grows quite slowly, so blending it with other turfgrass may provide additional cover.

Overall, Zoysiagrass is a versatile grass that can stand up to a variety of conditions. It\u2019s known to withstand heat, drought, and heavy foot traffic. Because of its deep root system, Zoysiagrass can handle drought but will become dormant if it is exposed to dry conditions for too long. However, it recovers quickly after returning to normal watering conditions.

Fungal diseases such as brown patch, dollar spot, and rust also plague Zoysia lawns.&nbsp;<\/li> <\/ul>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Grass Plug and Seed Options: <br><\/strong>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Zoysia-Plug-Tray-EZPlug-Plugs\/dp\/B00NMNU098?keywords=zoysia+grass+seed&amp;qid=1679588146&amp;sr=8-33&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnlove-20&amp;linkId=3cea0cb84b27ed85e903301403475ecd&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Zoysia Plugs (50 Large Grass Plugs)<br><\/a>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Zoysia-Plugs-Grass-Mature-Individually\/dp\/B08FJD3DTT?keywords=zoysia+grass+seed&amp;qid=1679588146&amp;sr=8-6&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnlove-20&amp;linkId=8bf902906af7fd2fa8a09eda4186ac36&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Zoysia Plugs (50 Full &amp; Lush Grass Plugs)<\/a><br>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Zoysia-Plugs-Grass-Mature-Individually\/dp\/B08FJC3J1F?crid=1HCXNJK2F4Q38&amp;keywords=zoysia%2Bgrass%2Bplugs&amp;qid=1679589246&amp;sprefix=zoysia%2Bgrass%2Bplugs%2Caps%2C129&amp;sr=8-7&amp;ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.d977788f-1483-4f76-90a3-786e4cdc8f10&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnlove-20&amp;linkId=0d0f99254ab713d7fa3fb1fb77d110d0&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Zoysia Plugs (100 Plugs)<\/a><br>\u2013 Zoysia Emerald Grass Seeds (1\/8 lb. of seeds)<br>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Zenith-Zoysia-grass-seeds-1\/dp\/B076B3GXL4?keywords=zoysia+grass+seed&amp;qid=1679588146&amp;sr=8-8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnlove-20&amp;linkId=78dd156bb702c934bc8d2f2693f5d22a&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Zenith Zoysia Grass Seeds<\/a> (1\/8 lb. of seeds)<\/p>    <h2 id=\"how-to-choose-the-best-grass-type-for-your-greenville-lawn\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to choose the best grass type for your Greenville lawn<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These six grass types are well-suited and recommended for Greenville lawns, but you should consider a <a href=\"https:\/\/hgic.clemson.edu\/factsheet\/selecting-a-lawn-grass\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">few things<\/a> when deciding which one will best fit your lawn:<\/p>    <div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1627740141332\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the purpose of your lawn or outdoor space?\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Homeowners with active families and pets should opt for bermudagrass. Those who want a lush, covered yard should consider Zoysiagrass varieties.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1627740166932\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which maintenance level is best suited for me?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Keeping a lawn green comes with putting in time and money. Low-maintenance grass types, such as centipedegrass, can cut your cost and let you take back your weekends.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1627740231280\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are there other features in my landscape that aren\u2019t compatible with my grass type?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yards with many mature trees and lots of shade would be ideal for tall fescue and Zoysia. If your lawn is open to direct sunlight, bermudagrass is your best choice.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keeping these considerations in mind, you should be able to find which grass type is best suited for your Greenville lawn.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h2 id=\"how-to-care-for-a-transition-zone-lawn\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to care for a \u201ctransition zone\u201d lawn<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Greenville is located in the turf transition zone, so lawns in this zone have the advantage of tolerating both cool-season and warm-season grasses. Cool-season grass will thrive in temperatures below 75 degrees and will remain dormant in the summer months and parts of spring. On the other hand, warm-season grasses can tolerate higher temperatures but will go dormant in the winter and have the potential to die during harsh freezes.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overseeding with another grass type can help during periods of dormancy. During shoulder seasons &#8212; fall and spring &#8212; it\u2019s important to prepare your lawn for the change in temperature and rainfall. You can overseed your existing warm-season grass with a cool-season grass, or if you have a cool-season grass type, you can overseed with a warm-season grass. This way, your grass can look robust all year long. Cool-season grass will keep the color in the fall and winter while the warm-season grass will sprout greenery in the spring and summer.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Need a lawn care service or landscaper?
