What kind of grass should I plant?

Light levels

All grasses need some light for photosynthesis. If your planting area is in dense shade, you should consider planting shade loving shrubs and perennials. Fescue is an excellent part shade, cool season grass. Zoysia and St. Augustine are recommended for a part shade warm season lawn.
