A Texan homeowner’s lawn is one of the main pride points of their property. Yet sometimes lawns die out or some may just want a greener change of scenery.

Fortunately, there are several species of lawns that thrive in North Texas. So, if you plan on revamping your lawn this year, take a look at these grasses that proudly call Texas soil home!

Zoysia

Zoysia is a classic looking lawn that gives your landscape the polished look of a country club golf course. 

This warm season grass thrives in the sun and can survive with hours of daily direct sunlight exposure.

If you know your lawn doesn’t get much shade and you want some grass that won’t easily burn out in the sun, Zoysia may be your seed of choice.

Buffalograss

Buffalograss may be Texas tough when it comes to how it survives in warmer weather; however it’s one of the softest options an owner could plant.

Not only can Buffalograss stand up to heavy foot and pet traffic, but it also brings several benefits to homeowners that plant it:

  • Buffalograss is native to our area
  • It doesn’t eat succumb to pests or grass diseases
  • It requires less water than other species 
  • It has a limited height of 8 inches

St. Augustine Grass

St. Augustine grass is one of the more popular species of grass in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. While many landowners love to have this species in their yard, The truth is St. Augustine is a very complex species.

  • It’s adaptable and can survive in moderate shade more than other grasses
  • It grows thick and can even outgrow a weed infestation
  • It requires a fair amount of water as well as a keen eye that ensures it doesn’t get drowned out
  • It must remain at a moderate height and not mowed too short
  • Overwatering and short mowing make this strong grass weak and susceptible to insect attacks and lawn diseases

Bermuda 

Bermuda grass is the most prevalent grass that you’ll find in North Texas. It’s the grass that thrives the most in the sunlight and requires at least 10 or 12 hours of direct sun a day. If left to grow in a shaded area or in an environment where cold fronts regularly come through, this grass will not survive.

If you want a lawn that looks great during the peak spring season and warmer days of summer, then Bermuda grass is definitely the choice you need to make when reseeding your lawn. 

Other features that make for me to grasp stand out include the following:

  • It is drought resistant 
  • It produces deep roots that help guarantee durability
