Choosing the right grass type is essential for maintaining a healthy and vibrant lawn, especially in North Texas, where the climate presents unique challenges. From scorching summers to clay-heavy soil, your grass needs to be resilient and suited to the local environment. At Rosalio Padron Lawn Service, we help homeowners select and care for grass types that thrive in the region’s conditions.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing Grass

1. Climate Suitability
   North Texas has hot summers and mild winters, so choose a grass type that tolerates heat and drought.
2. Soil Type
   The region’s clay-heavy soil can be compacted, so consider grass types with strong, deep roots.
3. Sunlight Conditions
   Assess how much sunlight your yard receives. Some grasses require full sun, while others thrive in shade.
4. Maintenance Requirements
   Some grass types need frequent mowing, watering, or fertilization, while others are more low-maintenance.
