Question: Are There Any Shade-Tolerant Grasses?
Many lawns are plagued with shady areas, which are generally inhospitable to grass. For instance, if you have large trees in the lawn, you may have trouble getting grass to grow under them. What's the solution? You must install shade-tolerant grasses in shady areas.
Answer:
Most grass types crave sun. But shade-tolerant grasses do exist. In the U.S., there are shade-tolerant grasses suitable both for the North and the South.
In the South, St. Augustine is used as a shade-tolerant grass, while for Northern lawns, fescues work well in shady areas.
