Buffalo Grass

Typical Buffalo Grass Lawn
Typical Blue Grass Lawn (across the street)

Every year I get a few clients wanting Buffalo Grass; I am not a big fan of buffalo grass for a few reasons.

1- It has a dry- grey appearance

2- Because it does not green up until the Night time temperatures are in the high50's the weed will green up first making the weeds standout.

3-IT will not stand up to any traffic (Dogs or Kids)
