Cool-Season Lawn Care Guide

Four-Season Green Lawn Mix

Cool-season grasses

This mix, which generally includes Lolium and Festuca species, offers a green appearance all year round. It is adaptable to sunny and partially shaded areas, but needs regular irrigation in the hot summer months; it is popular in the Marmara and Aegean regions.

Kentucky Bluegrass Lawn

Cool-season grasses

Known for its dense, self-repairing texture and bluish-green color, but it germinates slowly and its care demands attention. It struggles in the summer months in hot regions like Izmir and is better suited to cool, high-altitude plateau climates.

Perennial Ryegrass Lawn

Cool-season grasses

It germinates very quickly and is known for its bright green color, but it is sensitive to heat and drought. It is generally used in cool regions or for overseeding Bermuda grass in hot regions (Aegean, Mediterranean) to keep it green in winter.

Tall Fescue Lawn

Cool-season grasses

Adaptable to sunny and partially shaded areas, very tolerant of foot traffic and resistant to drought thanks to its deep roots. It stays green all year round, especially in cool regions such as the Marmara and Central Anatolia, and is easy to maintain.
