Want to thicken up your grass and achieve a better-looking lawn? It’s no wonder. According to statistics, a healthy lawn can increase your home’s value by up to 20%. And at Lawn Doctor of Albuquerque, we know seeding is one of the fastest paths to thicker, greener turf and improved curb appeal.
But not all seed is created equal. Plus, with approximately 1,400 species of grasses that exist in the U.S. alone, there’s a lot of options to choose from. Not only that, but there are many factors to keep in mind during the selection process so you choose the variety that’s right for your lawn, your lifestyle, and our area.
How can you make a confident choice if you’re not a lawn seeding expert? By asking these questions:
- What are your needs? Do you have a few small spots you’d like to fix and fill in, or does your entire lawn need an overhaul? If it’s a few areas, you might want to plant the same variety you already have to ensure a consistent look. If it’s a complete renovation, consider newer seeds with improved drought, pest, and disease resistance.
- Which seeds perform best in our area? When you choose seed known for performance under our local sunny, dry climate conditions, you can expect faster growth, thicker turf, and a better-looking lawn overall.
- Do you like the look of certain grasses? For example, Kentucky bluegrass offers a rich emerald to blue-green color, while perennial ryegrass provides a lush lawn with finer blades.
- Do you have kids, pets, and use your lawn a lot? If so, then you’ll need to choose grass that’s extremely durable and can withstand heavy foot traffic.
- What features on your lawn will impact new growth? For instance, sun exposure, shade, and soil type will all have an impact on the grass variety and how well it grows in your lawn.
