Q&A - What is a good grass for Texas?

Question:
What's a good grass for Texas? I prefer a dark green grass that is drought tolerant.

Answer:
Texas can be very hot and dry. Texas A&M Extension recommends Buffalo Grass and St. Augustine for drought tolerance. Bermuda is also used. When trying to figure out what grass to grow in your area contact your local extension agent. They have experience in your area.
