Q.Type Of Grass Needed

Zone West End NC | Anonymous added on April 15, 2024 | Answered

We live in West End NC and the soil is sandy and many pines in the area. Our yard is shady and sunny throughout the day. What type of grass would grow best in these conditions? It is now centipede, but it is dying out over time, and as the yard gets more shady (trees get bigger).
