A green lawn needs the right grass for your sun, soil, water and how much the lawn will be used. These are the lawn grasses most often used in Hyderabad homes, villas, schools and gated communities.
Popular lawn grass types
- Bermuda grass (Doob): fast-growing and hard-wearing, so it suits play areas and sports lawns. Needs full sun and regular mowing.
- Mexican grass: one of the most popular lawn grasses in India, with a medium texture and good sun tolerance.
- Korean grass: fine, soft and cushiony, and slow-growing, so it needs less mowing. Often used for ornamental lawns and mounds.
- Paspalum: tolerates poor or salty water and heat, and suits full-sun areas.
- St Augustine grass: broad blades and better shade tolerance than most warm-season grasses.
How to choose
Full sun and heavy use: Bermuda or Paspalum. Ornamental, low-mowing lawn: Korean grass. Partial shade: St Augustine. Everyday home lawn: Mexican grass.
