Answer 1

In your area, you have a few options-

Most of your choices are all types of shorter Fescue. Unfortunately, this is only a good option for the cool season. ONce summer rolls around, you may need a different choice of grass.

This is where Bella Grass can come in handy. Though it is a slow grower, it is able to survive just about any condition that you can throw at it.

Keep in mind that you will want to mix whatever seeds you choose with your clover seed, evenly. This will help to ensure that one doesn't choke out the others.

Just be sure to mix the seed together, thoroughly, before casting them out.
