Is there a grass type than is hardy and can be planted at this time of year?

Question

Something quick growing would be ideal. Pregrown lawn is out of the question as it has to fit into eco-blocks.

Answer 1

fescues are cool weather grasses that are planted now you could try them.

Answer 2

I regularly plant grasses in the fall, here in Kansas. I have just seeded 1/2 acre of K-31 Fescue for chicken pasture to be ready in the spring. Be sure to get your grass off to a good start with regular watering. Any patches that don't do well can be re-seeded early in the spring. I have even seeded during the winter before a snow storm. This works exceptionally well for an early spring germination.

Answer 3

Unless you live in southern states or where winters are mild, probably not. Perennial ryegrass is used as a winter grass in Florida, AZ, etc. You might be able to germinate the grass due to heat retention from each block cell, but I fear the grass would die in winter cold.

Answer 4

Buffalo grass if you can get it. Very hardy and drought resistant.
