If you’re trying to find grass for your property, there are several factors to consider. The first you should think about is your location. Three large climate areas determine the type of grass that thrives in that area. They include:
Once you have determined the region in which you’re located, you can figure out what type of grass works best for your property.
The Northern grasses, which are also called cool-season grasses, tend to be more tolerant of the cold than other types of grasses. They grow quickly during the fall and spring; however, they do tend to slow down when the temperature heats up. Several options to consider include Fescue grass and Bluegrass, and these tend to do well in colder temperatures.
As you move farther south, you open up more options for your yard. Transitional grasses usually require a mix of warm and cool temperatures. They also tend to blend some characteristics of warmer and colder-season grasses. A few options to consider for these locations include Zoysia, Fescue, and Bermuda grass.
If you live in the Deep South or Gulf areas of the country, you might consider warmer grasses. You need to find grass that can stand up to the hot temperatures of the area, particularly during the summer. Bermuda grass, St. Augustine grass, Centipede grass, and Bahia grass are examples of grasses that grow well under warmer conditions.
While temperature is the most important factor when looking at grasses, other conditions to consider include:

Laying down sod is a fast and easy way to revitalize your lawn. If you are planning on installing sod, you might be asking yourself, "How soon after I buy sod do I need to lay it?" The following tips will help guide you.
After your sod delivery, the steps for installation are straightforward. Before you start to place the sod, make sure you prepare the soil on your lawn by removing any weeds or grass. Then, unroll the lines of sod butted next to each other and lay them until your yard is covered.
It's best to install the rolls on the same day or within 12 hours of purchase. This is especially true when temperatures are above 80 degrees, and humidity conditions are high. Under these conditions, you need to provide particular attention to care since the rolled-up sod releases nitrogen. The release of nitrogen heats the rolls and begins to kill them. So, if conditions are hot and humid, don't wait too long.
With cooler temperatures, like in Spring or Fall, you might have as many as three to five days before damage occurs. However, avoid waiting too long, even under cooler conditions. If you need more time, you can store the rolls in the shade to prevent the heat buildup within the rolls.
