Decorate Your Garden Using Different Types Of Grass - Articles Surfing

Kentucky Blue Grass is a fantastic type of grass and it is particularly popular in North America. It does need a little maintenance but if you are prepared to look after it. it will reward you by making your lawn look amazing.

When thinking of landscaping, you may want to think about the various types of grass that there are available to you. Kentucky Blue grass in particular can be quite good, though you will find that it is not native to America, it was simply brought there by colonists from Europe. However, despite that it is extremely common, especially in humid climates of the states, so if you haven't yet thought about having Kentucky Blue grass you might want to consider it now.

Everything You Need to Know About Kentucky Blue Grass

All types of grass are different, they look different and Kentucky Blue grass is generally recognized by its boat shaped tips on its blades. It can grow to be two feet in height so do not forget to mow it frequently if you want a well trimmed lawn! You will find that it grows in spurts depending on how long the days are and so one month the grass could grow extremely quickly, whilst a couple of weeks later it could just stop for no apparent reason.

As for when to grow the grass, it tends to do better in late spring. However, it is entirely possible to plant the grass seeds earlier if needed. Just remember that usually you need around three pounds of seeds for every 1,000 square feet of land that you are planting it in. That will ensure that you get the best results possible for your lawn. As with other types of grass, Kentucky Blue does need some looking after once it has been planted. For example, it will need to be watered around two to three times per day once it has first been planted. This should be done for a couple of weeks approximately, though it obviously depends entirely upon the weather. As soon as you notice the seeds sprouting, you can then cut back on watering them.

If you are looking for a low maintenance grass then Kentucky Blue is definitely not for you. You will find that it needs a lot of water and so if you haven't got the time to water it you should not even consider it. If you simply do not water it as often as it needs it will die. It is thought that it needs at least two inches of water per week to stay fit and thriving.

Overall Kentucky Blue grass is really popular, it looks good, but it can be a little higher maintenance than some other types of grass. So, as long as you know what you are letting yourself in for, it can be a really good grass to have and it can make your lawn look fantastic.
