If you are wondering if it’s possible to have a great lawn when you have kids, the answer is yes. You just need to choose the right grass for your yard. You need to select a grass that is going to withstand a lot of traffic.

Your lawn is one of the most essential outdoor features of your property. At the same time, play is an essential feature of your kids’ lives. Getting the choice of grass right helps the two to combine perfectly.

The Best Type of a Grass for Kids to Play On

Bermuda Grass



This is a warm season grass that is resistant to extreme heat and drought. It also has an extensive root system. This means that it can withstand a lot of traffic. In fact, Bermuda grass is a popular choice for sports fields for this reason.

Bermuda is an ideal grass for use in a lawn that is going to be used by kids. If you decide to use Bermuda grass in your lawn, you need to make sure that it has full sunlight and a good drainage system. You also need to be aware that it can easily spread to areas where you do not want grass and act as a weed, according to Wikilawn.

Zoysia

Zoysia is another grass that is perfect if there are kids in the household. It can withstand a lot of foot traffic. If you are growing Zoysia in your lawn, you should try to ensure it has full sunlight, although it can withstand some shade.

You can plant Zoysia as sods or seeds. The grass will grow to form a thick lawn that is light to medium green in color.

Kentucky Bluegrass

Kentucky bluegrass is a cool season grass that is winter hardy. It’s a hardy grass that is ideal for use in a lawn that kids are going to play on. If you live in an area where heat levels are high, or there are periods of drought, it’s worth noting that the lawn will go dormant during these periods.

Ideally, Kentucky bluegrass likes full sunlight, but it can withstand a certain amount of light shade. In ideal conditions, this grass has a dense appearance and can withstand heavy use.

St. Augustine Grass

St. Augustine grass may be the ideal choice if you have a shady area in your yard where you want your lawn to be. Although it enjoys full sunlight, St. Augustine grass can also withstand shade. This type of grass is also a good choice because it thrives in most types of soil.

However, if your kids are going to play on your lawn a lot, St. Augustine grass may not be the best choice for you. This is because it can only withstand medium levels of foot traffic.

You may want to consider any of these grasses if you are growing a lawn that your kids are going to use, depending on how heavy that use is going to be. Do not forget that choosing grass for the lawn is only part of designing a garden that is kid friendly. Why not involve your kids in the process. Doing so can be educational for them, and it can also be a lot of fun.
