There’s a reason Kentucky bluegrass is one of the most popular grasses in the Centennial State: It’s one of the best grasses for Colorado lawns.
Homeowners that choose Kentucky bluegrass for their lawn and HOAs that mandate its use in their bylaws aren’t just jumping on the bandwagon, though. (At least not all of them.) Kentucky bluegrass is ideally suited for Colorado’s wild weather patterns, making it the perfect turfgrass for nearly every lawn. We’ve perfected our own blend of four Kentucky bluegrass seeds, Yeti Grass. It’s a blend of some of the best grasses for Colorado, and features a seed nicknamed “Root Monster” because of the strength of its roots.
There are a number of factors that make Kentucky bluegrass among the best grasses for Colorado turf. It makes for a beautiful lawn, growing dense and with deep green color. When it’s well manicured and maintained, it’s easy for homeowners to achieve the lush, ideal look of a sports field with minimal effort.
Speaking of sports fields, Kentucky bluegrass is sturdy enough to stand up to the traffic on a public playing field (many turf managers use it to repair worn-down fields), so it’s sure to withstand nearly all traffic your family and pets dish out.
With Colorado’s lack of rainfall, finding a drought-tolerant grass is important to most homeowners. Despite rumors that claim bluegrasses are water hogs, they’re some of the most drought-tolerant species available. Colorado homeowners can get by with 15 to 20 inches of supplemental irrigation (in addition to normal rainfall levels) per year and achieve a perfectly acceptable lawn. With only 24 inches of supplemental water – about an inch a week – it stays perfectly emerald green. Should it not get enough water, it’s not a disaster, either: Kentucky bluegrass just turns brown and goes dormant until it gets enough water, making it spring back from drought amazingly easy.
While there are many options for sod and turf for your lawn, our blend of Kentucky bluegrass was engineered to provide the best looking yard with the least amount of maintenance. It’s no wonder Kentucky bluegrass varieties are known as one of the best grasses for Colorado homeowners.
