Bermuda grass is a popular choice amongst homeowners living in the Southern United States. Though Bermuda grass is considered drought-tolerant, Bermuda grass still requires at least 1 inch of water weekly to avoid drought stress. Drought stress can cause the grass to turn brown, and the grass blades to appear dry. Additionally, this warm-season grass can become stressed if not exposed to direct sunlight for six hours. Repeated exposure to shade can cause thinning or in prolonged shade conditions bare spots can occur. Weeds found within Bermuda grass should be addressed immediately to avoid further spreading or the onset of bare spots. Lastly, Bermuda grass is also susceptive to insect damage and common grass diseases.

Bluegrass
Bluegrass performs well in the northern regions of the United States where cool winters and moderate summers define the climate. Bluegrass requires a high level of maintenance to achieve a pristine condition and homeowners are expected to maintain the lawn around 2 to 3 inches in height. These heights should be increased to 3 to 4 inches during the summer months. Unfortunately, because of its shallow root system Bluegrass does not tolerate prolonged drought conditions well. Moreover, bluegrass is threatened by diseases such as grey snow mold, lawn rust, and dollar spot.
