But with so many types of grass seed available, how do you know which one to choose? Below are three factors you want to consider to help you find the right one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"423\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cbserviceslawnlandscapeirrigation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/field-410646_640.jpg\" alt=\"grass seed type\n\n\n\n\" class=\"wp-image-197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cbserviceslawnlandscapeirrigation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/field-410646_640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.cbserviceslawnlandscapeirrigation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/field-410646_640-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Choosing the right grass seed can make a difference<br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shade Levels in Grass Seed Type<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This will generally affect how much shade and sun\nexposure your grass is able to take. Some types of seed, such as fescues do\nwell in partial shade. Other kinds, such as bermudagrass, need full exposure to\nthe sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Wear &amp; Tear Your Grass Seed Type Will Go Through<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traffic\u2019s all about the amount of footfall you expect\nyour lawn to take. When you choose a type of grass seed, you want to consider\nthe species heartiness. This is going to help you with making the right\ndecision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is important because you\u2019ll choose a kind that isn\u2019t likely to get patchy brown spots or become dry in particular conditions. You also won\u2019t want to choose a seed that\u2019s too coarse, too delicate, or too thatchy for what you\u2019re going to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, people who have young children and plan\nto enjoy the lawn with mini pools or water spots should choose Kentucky\nbluegrass instead of fine fescue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are choosing your grass seed, think about\nwhat your lawn\u2019s going to go through on a regular basis. This will help you with\nchoosing the right one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Big Your Yard Is<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The lot\u2019s size is going to affect the type of seed and\nthe amount you\u2019ll need for a beautiful healthy lawn. If you have a large site\nand you are on a tight budget, a good choice is turfgrass seed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something to look for when you want to know how good the\nbag of grass seed is is to look for the PLS percentage. This measures whether a\nseeding reduced price is really saving you money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PLS gets calculated by looking at how much, or the percentage, there is of pure seed is, and then multiplying that number by the germination percentage. Then that product\u2019s divided by the number 100. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if there\u2019s a pure seed of 85%, and a\ngermination of 72%, the output\u2019s 61% PLS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you divide 100 by the PLS. In this example, you\nget 1.6, so you would need 1.6 pounds of seed with 85% purity and a germination\nof 72%&gt; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price that you have to pay is going to tell you if it\u2019s a deal or if you want to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are three things to consider to help you choose the right grass seed for you.
