Turf 101: Cool-Season vs. Warm-Season Grasses

Not all lawns are the same. The type of grass you have determines which care program will give you the best results.


Cool-Season Grasses

· Grow best during the cooler temperatures of spring and fall

· Can struggle during Oklahoma’s hot summers

· Stay green through much of the year with proper care

· Common types: Tall Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass, Ryegrass

If your lawn stays green through winter and grows most vigorously during the cooler months, you likely have a cool-season lawn.


Warm-Season Grasses

Common throughout Tulsa and much of Oklahoma

· Grow most actively during late spring and summer

· Go dormant and turn brown during winter

· Benefit from proper seasonal care throughout the growing season

· Common types: Bermuda and Zoysia

If your lawn greens up in late spring, grows vigorously through summer, and turns brown after the first frost, you likely have a warm-season lawn.
