Grass type selector.
The right lawn grass depends on three things above all: your climate, how much sun the spot gets, and how much wear it takes. Set those below for a grass type suited to your lawn - the single most important choice you'll make.
A starting point, not the last word - grass performance varies with your exact region, soil and the specific cultivar or blend on the bag. Local turf advice and the seed label win. Many good lawns are a blend of two or three grasses rather than one.
