Kansas City Sod – Choosing the Right Type for Your Yard:
Kansas City is known as being part of the transition region in the United
States. Our area presents special challenges for all lawn grasses.
Different climate zones – cool, warm, humid & drought – all come
together in our region. Winters
are too cold for warm season grasses to survive and summers are too hot for
cool season types.
A lawn is an investment, so be sure to think about what you desire from your
yard before purchasing grass.
Kentucky Bluegrass:
Of all the bluegrass species, Kentucky Bluegrass is by the far the most
preferred and widely used. Bluegrass is a fine blade grass that is a bluish
green in color. It is a dense, colorful, cool-season grass that is perfect
for a yard that is played in often. However, as with any species of grass,
there are pros and cons of Kentucky Bluegrass, and it is important to
consider these factors before purchasing a yard’s worth of sod.
Kentucky Bluegrass - The PRO’s:
Beauty
The most obvious pro of Kentucky Bluegrass is its beauty. It has excellent
color and a pleasant texture.
Kentucky Bluegrass - The PRO’s:
Ability to Spread
Another positive attribute of Kentucky Bluegrass is its ability to spread,
which it does through the production of rhizomes.
Kentucky Bluegrass - The CON’s:
Shallow Root System
The main downside to Kentucky Bluegrass stems from its shallow root system,
which lacks depth when compared to most other types of grass. As a result,
it uses a lot of water.
Kentucky Bluegrass - The CON’s:
Lack of Shade Tolerance
Another con of Kentucky Bluegrass is its lack of tolerance for shade.
Without proper exposure to sunlight, it will likely thin out or die.
