Zoysiagrass
Photo Credit: Forest and Kim Starr<\/a> \/ Wikimedia Commons \/ CC BY 3.0 US<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>This hardy warm-season grass does great in humid St. Louis summers but will turn tan from early fall to late spring. If you are looking for a grass that thrives during the summer, Zoysia is a great choice. It can also handle heavy foot traffic and drought during hot St. Louis summers.<\/p>
Zoysia can take longer to establish than other grass varieties, but once it takes hold, it creates a dense and tough lawn with a deep root structure. During drought years, Zoysia<\/a> is a good choice because it requires 50% less water to stay green compared to Kentucky bluegrass.<\/p>

<\/li>- Spreads by:<\/strong> Rhizomes and stolons
<\/li>- Shade Tolerance:<\/strong> Low to moderate; requires six to eight hours of sunlight

Tall Fescue Grass
Photo Credit: Matt Lavin<\/a> \/ Flickr \/ CC BY-SA 2.0<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>If you want a green lawn for much of the year, tall fescue is one of the best grass seeds to plant in Missouri. Tall fescue will turn green in early spring and should stay green until the first frost. However, tall fescue can struggle in the hot and humid St. Louis summers. This grass<\/a> is the most heat and drought-tolerant of the cool-season grasses and grows in bunches.<\/p>
Tall fescue<\/a> grows best during the spring and fall months, and fall overseeding helps to maintain a uniform appearance. It is a great choice for St. Louis lawns as it requires 25% less water than Zoysiagrass to stay green. It also does well when mixed with other grasses like Kentucky bluegrass. Tall fescue is durable and disease-resistant. <\/p>
- Classification:<\/strong> Cool-season grass<\/a>
<\/li>- Spreads by:<\/strong> Bunch-type
<\/li>- Shade Tolerance:<\/strong> Moderate
<\/li>- Drought Tolerance:<\/strong> Moderate; may require more irrigation during dry summers
<\/li>- Foot Traffic Tolerance:<\/strong> Moderate
<\/li>- Maintenance Needs:<\/strong> Low to moderate; may require frequent mowing
<\/li>- Mowing Height:<\/strong> 3-4 inches
<\/li>- Potential for Disease:<\/strong> Low; watch for brown patch<\/a> <\/li> <\/ul>
Grass Seed Options:
<\/strong>\u2013 Triple-Play Tall Fescue Grass Seed Blend<\/a> (5000 sq ft)
\u2013 Eretz Kentucky 31 K31 Tall Fescue Grass Seed<\/a> (choose your size)

Kentucky Bluegrass
Photo Credit: <\/a>Ethan2039<\/a> \/ Wikimedia Commons \/ CC BY-SA 4.0<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>As the all-time favorite for many homeowners, Kentucky bluegrass offers a lush, durable, and dense lawn. This cool-season grass does well in northern parts of the country but can also do well in the transition zone<\/a> of the St. Louis area. It does well in winter but may struggle with heat and drought depending on the variety and if it\u2019s mixed with other grass types.<\/p>
Kentucky bluegrass needs more maintenance than other grass varieties, but the payoff is an exceptionally beautiful lawn. As a cool-season grass type, it grows best during the spring<\/a> and fall seasons. Watering will be needed throughout the St. Louis summers to keep this shallow-rooted grass at peak performance.<\/p>
It\u2019s recommended that Kentucky bluegrass<\/a> be mixed with other varieties when used in St. Louis lawns. This grass grows well in a 90:10 mix by volume of tall fescue to Kentucky bluegrass.<\/p>
- Classification:<\/strong> Cool-season grass
<\/li>- Spreads by:<\/strong> Rhizomes
<\/li>- Shade Tolerance:<\/strong> Low
<\/li>- Drought Tolerance:<\/strong> Moderate
<\/li>- Foot Traffic Tolerance:<\/strong> Moderate
<\/li>- Maintenance Needs:<\/strong> High
<\/li>- Mowing Height:<\/strong> 2 \u00bd – 3 \u00bd inches
<\/li>- Potential for Disease:<\/strong> Moderate<\/li> <\/ul>
A note on Bermudagrass: <\/strong>While Bermudagrass<\/a> works well for the southern parts of Missouri, the temperatures in St. Louis during the winter months are unsuitable for this grass.<\/p>

\u2013 Jacklin Seed – Biltmore Blue Blend – 100% Kentucky Bluegrass<\/a> (5 lbs.)<\/p>How to Choose the Best Grass for Your St. Louis Lawn<\/h2>
You have your pick of the best grasses for St. Louis: Zoysiagrass, tall fescue, and Kentucky bluegrass. But which one is the best fit for your yard?<\/p>
Maintenance<\/h3>
Not all grass is created equal, and some grass requires more work than others. Consider how much work you want to put into your yard each week before choosing a grass type.<\/p>
High-maintenance:<\/strong> Kentucky bluegrass<\/p>
Moderate maintenance:<\/strong> Zoysiagrass<\/p>
Low-maintenance:<\/strong> Tall fescue (low to moderate)<\/p>
Shade<\/h3>
Is your yard covered with trees? How much shade does your lawn receive? Will the grass you want be able to survive in a lot of shade? Think about whether or not your grass of choice can tolerate the shade<\/a> conditions of your yard.<\/p>
Moderate shade tolerance:<\/strong> Zoysiagrass, tall fescue<\/p>
Low shade tolerance:<\/strong> Kentucky bluegrass<\/p>
Foot Traffic<\/h3>
You now know the best grasses to plant in St. Louis. But if you\u2019re someone who loves to host outdoor activities, you\u2019ll want to pick one that can keep up with a high degree of foot traffic<\/a>.<\/p>
High foot traffic tolerance:<\/strong> Zoysiagrass<\/p>
Moderate foot traffic tolerance:<\/strong> Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue<\/p>
Bring in the Professionals<\/h2>
Grass can seem deceivingly simple when looking at a lawn. Yet picking out a esuitable grass that will survive in St. Louis\u2019s climate requires a more careful look. You\u2019ve gone through the trouble of picking out the best grass, so let someone else do the work. Hire a St. Louis lawn care professional<\/a> to take care of your grass so you don\u2019t have to.<\/p>
