Even so, it produces some unique challenges when you try to grow a luscious, green yard. When you&#8217;re figuring out the best type of grass to use, think about your specific lawn-growing goals. Do you want a lawn that can resist drought and stand up against erosion and salt spray? How about one that grows well in a shady area? Whatever your goals, consider one of these grass types to create a Providence lawn that will make your neighbors green with envy.<\/span><\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1.

Kentucky Bluegrass creates a strong sod and adapts widely to more temperate regions. It is one of the hardiest grasses concerning foot traffic, often used for sports fields because of its quick ability to bounce back. It does best in sunny areas, although some particular varieties can handle a bit of shade.<\/span><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Grass Seed Options: <br><\/strong>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Jonathan-Green-Maker-Grass-3-Pound\/dp\/B003AYR3FI?crid=27GQP3B1R3AD0&amp;keywords=kentucky+blue+grass+seeds+for+lawn&amp;qid=1679595025&amp;sprefix=kentucky+blue+grass+seed%2Caps%2C125&amp;sr=8-25&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnstarterla-20&amp;linkId=992e40d3b70e4e06f03e1dea0e878d92&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Jonathan Green (11970) Blue Panther Kentucky Bluegrass Grass Seed<\/a> (3 lbs.)<br>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SeedRanch-Midnight-Kentucky-Bluegrass-Certified\/dp\/B00GGSM6FM?crid=27GQP3B1R3AD0&amp;keywords=kentucky+blue+grass+seeds+for+lawn&amp;qid=1679594926&amp;sprefix=kentucky+blue+grass+seed%2Caps%2C125&amp;sr=8-6&amp;ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.d977788f-1483-4f76-90a3-786e4cdc8f10&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnstarterla-20&amp;linkId=7fa7ca16277756d72484672e85e039b3&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">SeedRanch Midnight Kentucky Bluegrass Seed<\/a> (5 lbs.)<br>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Jacklin-Seed-Biltmore-Bluegrass-Certified\/dp\/B07T6XQHCK?crid=27GQP3B1R3AD0&amp;keywords=kentucky+blue+grass+seeds+for+lawn&amp;qid=1679595025&amp;sprefix=kentucky+blue+grass+seed%2Caps%2C125&amp;sr=8-7&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnstarterla-20&amp;linkId=df49b30f6042f7bab0359ab2347fc028&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Jacklin Seed &#8211; Biltmore Blue Blend &#8211; 100% Kentucky Bluegrass<\/a> (5 lbs.)<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.

Depending on the type you select, your mowing height will vary. It produces a deep green color and has an upright growth habit, seeding quickly and establishing itself nicely on your lawn. Well-adapted to cold summers and high altitudes, Fine Fescue does well in the shade as well as in dry soil. It can tolerate both hot and cold weather, used in areas that have wide swings in temperature. While it can bounce back quickly from moderate use, it does not recover well when severely injured.<\/span><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Grass Seed Options: <br><\/strong>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Outsidepride-Legacy-Fine-Fescue-Grass\/dp\/B004MNATTS?crid=IG9ZGUBBC4N&amp;keywords=fine+fescue+grass+seed&amp;qid=1679593996&amp;sprefix=fine+fescue+grass%2Caps%2C136&amp;sr=8-5&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnstarterla-20&amp;linkId=5df3f63d0b577398c42fa053986ba97a&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Outsidepride Legacy Fine Fescue Grass Seed<\/a> (5 lbs.)<br>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Eretz-Oregon-Grown-Grass-Seed\/dp\/B07XYK5HQS?crid=IG9ZGUBBC4N&amp;keywords=fine%2Bfescue%2Bgrass%2Bseed&amp;qid=1679594148&amp;sprefix=fine%2Bfescue%2Bgrass%2Caps%2C136&amp;sr=8-7&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnstarterla-20&amp;linkId=2501fce967a10951a9bfaa4e47265eeb&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Eretz Creeping Red Fine Fescue Seed<\/a> (choose your size)<br>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Outsidepride-Creeping-Fescue-Shade-Tolerant\/dp\/B0BLMJGBG9?crid=IG9ZGUBBC4N&amp;keywords=fine+fescue+grass+seed&amp;qid=1679594148&amp;sprefix=fine+fescue+grass%2Caps%2C136&amp;sr=8-26&amp;ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.d977788f-1483-4f76-90a3-786e4cdc8f10&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnstarterla-20&amp;linkId=d0e223365e80fa2a1f6573823355daab&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Outsidepride Creeping Red Fine Fescue Grass Seed<\/a> (25 lbs.)<br>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Outsidepride-Hard-Fine-Fescue-Grass\/dp\/B07MC95N45?crid=IG9ZGUBBC4N&amp;keywords=fine%2Bfescue%2Bgrass%2Bseed&amp;qid=1679594148&amp;sprefix=fine%2Bfescue%2Bgrass%2Caps%2C136&amp;sr=8-12-spons&amp;ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.d977788f-1483-4f76-90a3-786e4cdc8f10&amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzMjhGVTBUQThRUlMzJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjcxOTMxM1ZBUkwwOVBRQjFRVyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUExMDMwMzk4MUgzWjFTU1UyQTNLSyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX210ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnstarterla-20&amp;linkId=326c8123ac5fe26edbf0796645d16317&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Outsidepride Hard Fine Fescue Grass Seed<\/a> (10 lbs.)<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.

Although this can be unappealing, it produces such a lush mat of dense green color throughout the rest of the year that it\u2019s worth considering. It is also more salt tolerant than other types of grass, meaning it is a superb choice for areas with abundant salt spray from water or roadways.<\/span><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Grass Plug and Seed Options: <br><\/strong>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Zoysia-Plug-Tray-EZPlug-Plugs\/dp\/B00NMNU098?keywords=zoysia+grass+seed&amp;qid=1679588146&amp;sr=8-33&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnstarterla-20&amp;linkId=d456cc63585d3b3885eb1541bc4d61f5&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Zoysia Plugs <\/a>(50 Large Grass Plugs)<br>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Zoysia-Plugs-Grass-Mature-Individually\/dp\/B08FJD3DTT?keywords=zoysia+grass+seed&amp;qid=1679588146&amp;sr=8-6&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnstarterla-20&amp;linkId=f7f1ff8cbc2a54070a1737ab09e23602&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Zoysia Plugs <\/a>(50 Full &amp; Lush Grass Plugs)<br>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Zoysia-Plugs-Grass-Mature-Individually\/dp\/B08FJC3J1F?crid=1HCXNJK2F4Q38&amp;keywords=zoysia%2Bgrass%2Bplugs&amp;qid=1679589246&amp;sprefix=zoysia%2Bgrass%2Bplugs%2Caps%2C129&amp;sr=8-7&amp;ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.d977788f-1483-4f76-90a3-786e4cdc8f10&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnstarterla-20&amp;linkId=a63089c1d21ad26ee7d3afb56b18c43d&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Zoysia Plugs <\/a>(100 Plugs)<br>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Zoysia-Grass-Seeds-Zoysia-Emerald-Grass-1\/dp\/B07PGBZK8X?keywords=zoysia+grass+seed&amp;qid=1679588146&amp;sr=8-9&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnstarterla-20&amp;linkId=555a914ba9b473e9cca89f062af2905b&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Zoysia Emerald Grass Seeds<\/a> (1\/8 lb. of seeds)<br>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Zenith-Zoysia-grass-seeds-1\/dp\/B076B3GXL4?keywords=zoysia+grass+seed&amp;qid=1679588146&amp;sr=8-8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnstarterla-20&amp;linkId=abb7b80004af7648c72316dcc978aa7c&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Zenith Zenith Grass Seeds<\/a> (1\/8 lb. of seeds)<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Need additional help?
