The Grass Doctor

I need grass seed that will grow quickly and in mostly shade what are my options?

My yard has two trees and the ground is tilted and really shaded, I know with a little grass we will avoid having water build up in the back. So I need a grass seed that will grow quickly and in shade.

1. buy grass seed that is marked shade check seed content on back panel you need at least 20% rye
2. You can find a shade seed mix at your local retailer. Check for seed that has the following seeds: Shamrock Kentucky Bluegrass Legacy Perennial Ryegrass Shaderock Creeping Red Fescue Brittany Chewings Fescue
3. Really the first thing we need to know is where you are. Grass type (Varieties) vary greatly depending on where you live. Best advise is to contact a professional landscape supply company in your local area.

5. st. augustine does real well in the shade around my place.
