What is the best grass seed to grow in sand?

Answer by  barefootinformation (62)

Tall Fescue, creeping Red Fescue, and hard Fescue can be planted in sandy soil. Grass does not really grow very good in just sand. If you place some compost on top to about 2' and then place your grass seeds you will have better luck and just about use whatever grass grows well in your area. Happy Spring!

Recommended for sandy areas, these grasses can tolerate full sun. Bermuda grass is great for high activity areas. Zoysia grass, carpet grass, centipede grass, bahai grass and seashore paspalum are some of the grasses that also work well in tropical climates. The product names for Bermuda grass include La Prima and Yukon. Zenith and Compadre are names for zoysia grass.

When you are looking at the types of grass seeds at the garden center, look for the words "drought tolerant" on the bag. For a northern or midwestern climate, tall fescue is good. If you live in the south, try planting some bahia, zoysia, or bermuda grass. Whatever you plant will need to be watered often until it is established.
