Are you tired of exorbitant water bills from watering your lawn? Does the arid climate seem to be fighting against you and your yard? Maybe the answer isn\u2019t more water and attention but a change of vegetation. Consider these five drought-resistant grass types in Santa Rosa, CA.<\/span><\/p>

Buffalograss <\/b><\/h2>

A midwest native and coveted for its hardiness and drought-resistance. Buffalograss can thrive on just one and a half inches of rainfall per month. It\u2019s one of a few drought-resistant turf grasses in the U.S. Though it works best as an ornamental grass, it can be mowed and used for activities.<\/span><\/p>

Grass Seed Options:
<\/strong>\u2013 <\/strong>Everwilde Farms Buffalograss Seeds<\/a> (1 lb. of seeds)
\u2013 Scotts Pursue Buffalograss with Natural Seed<\/a> (1 lb. of seeds)
\u2013 Outsidepride Perennial Buffalo Grass Seed<\/a> (2 lb. of seeds)<\/p>

Leatherleaf Sedge<\/b><\/h2>

The copper-bronze foliage of the leatherleaf sedge is what makes it an attractive grass for arid landscapes. It\u2019s waving stems, and elegant form add a bit of interest and movement to your lawn or garden. This is a grass that demands to be seen, so make sure it\u2019s featured prominently. Leatherleaf sedge is easy to take care of, requiring minimal cleanup in the spring before it re-grows. It performs best in full sun or some shade and has no particular preference when it comes to soil type.<\/span><\/p>

Bermudagrass<\/b><\/h2>

Bermudagrass is a tough and durable warm weather grass that can tolerate heavy foot traffic. Mow it, water it, play on it ….this stuff can handle it all. Bermuda grass stays green year-round in warm climates, giving you that beautiful yard you always wished you could have in California.<\/span><\/p>

Grass Seed Options:
\u2013 <\/strong>Pennington Bermudagrass Bare Spot<\/a> (5 lb. bag)
\u2013 Pennington Smart Seed Bermudagrass Mix<\/a> (8.75-lb. bag)
\u2013 Scotts Turf Builder Bermudagrass<\/a> (10-lb. bag)
\u2013 Hancock Seed Co. Bermudagrass<\/a> (50-lb. bag)<\/p>

With its blue color and it\u2019s hedgehog-like appearance, Elijah Blue is an excellent ornamental grass for bordering that walkway or integrating some texture in your garden. It grows in round clumps and is easy to maintain since it doesn’t spread into your flower bed. <\/span><\/p>

St. Augustine Grass<\/b><\/h2>

Another great turfgrass with a high tolerance for drought. It spreads fast and can do much better under shade than bermudagrass but it does require regular aeration. It can handle full sun or shade. St Augustine grass does most of its growth in spring and summer, going dormant in the winter. This grass is not tolerant of foot traffic so it’s best used as ornamental or for people who don’t use their yards regularly.<\/span><\/p>

Grass Plug Options:
<\/strong>\u2013 Seed Ranch St Augustine Seville Grass Plugs<\/a> (2 Trays)
\u2013 Seed Ranch St Augustine Floratam Grass Plugs<\/a> (2 Trays)<\/p>
