Top Choices for Drought-Tolerant Grass
If you’re looking to lower your water bill, replacing your grass with a drought-tolerant variety may be the right choice. Drought-tolerant grasses can give you the best of both worlds: a lush, green lawn and a water bill that doesn’t eat up your paycheck.
But drought-tolerant grass isn’t just about saving money anymore: A growing number of cities, including San Antonio, are passing ordinances that require residential and commercial developers to plant grass that requires little to no water for long periods.
San Antonio’s water department recommends these grass varieties to conserve water:
- Bermuda — A full-sun grass, extremely drought-tolerant cultivar, perfect for high-traffic areas
- Zoysia — A slow-growing grass that tolerates sun, shade, and lower water outputs than other shade-tolerant varieties
- Buffalo — A tall-growing grass for low-traffic, high-sun areas, usually surviving on natural precipitation once established
