Best Grass Types in Colorado:

Kentucky Bluegrass and Tall Fescue are widespread in Colorado, well-adapted to cold winters and dry summers.

Seeding:

Early fall or late spring are best in Colorado, allowing grass to establish before the harsh winter or intense summer heat.

Techniques:

Adjust mowing height according to the season—higher in summer to reduce water loss, and lower in fall to prepare for snow.

Fact Check:

In Colorado, grass often gets high on its own altitude.
