Need help with grass

I live in san diego and am looking to buy some sod for my back yard. Anyone know much about grass, specifically types of grass?

I am prepared for the "grass" jokes

 

Don't know if they sell it on the west coast, but we had Zeon Zoysia sod installed a couple of years back and we love it!

It's got a fine blade, is fairly dense, is durable for pets, it grows at a slow to moderate rate, is drought resistant and is incredibly comfortable to walk on. It almost feels like walking on carpet. It's a type of grass they use on golf course fairways.

If you can't find Zeon Zoysia, look at other types of Zoysia. I don't know what may or may not grow in your area.

The only downside is it produces a lot of clippings seeing as it is so dense.

 

Artificial Turf...Less Maint.

 

I was looking at what kind of grass the golf courses in my area use but couldn't find much information on the web. I might just go into one of the courses and ask.

Yes, but also very expensive.

 

Two Cali's were waiting at the bus stop when a truck went past loaded up with rolls of turf.
Jimmy said, I'm gonna do that when I win the lottery

What's that then?asks Mikey.


Send me lawn away to be cut

 

You might check out Kentucky Bluegrass or Tall Fescue.

 

I prefer Kentucky Blue grass and that is what I personally have. However, it's a bitch to maintain, if you're going to maintain it yourself. There are also St. Augustine and Bermuda grass. Bermuda does very well in scorching heat.

 

Tall Fescue does best here in SoCal.
Google Marathon Sod.

 

Have you talked to a local place that does landscaping?? They are probably the best to give you tips.

 

Not yet but from my research, tall fescue is looking like my best bet so far
