	Low-Maintenance Grasses for Revegetating Disturbed Areas and Lawns
	Publication #: B-1070 Date Published: 11/01/1998 Publication Author(s): David W. Koch Roger Hybner

Description:
Revegetating construction and landscape areas prevents soil erosion from wind and water and stops the problems associated with air- and waterborne soil particles. These areas usually have limited topsoil, mixed topsoil and subsoil, continual dryness, low fertility, and high erosion potential. Low Maintenance Grasses for Revegetating Disturbed Areas and Lawns is a five-page bulletin that describes the different species of grasses and the alternatives to bluegrass lawns. Kentucky bluegrass has been one of the standard choices for lush, green, carpet-like turf, but many people conceive the time and cost of maintenance of bluegrass lawns as too great. However, Kentucky bluegrass varieties that require less water are now available.
