Choose grass-seed according to your climate. Some species of grass are greener and grow better in certain climates, so it is important to choose wisely. For instance, if you live in Phoenix, Arizona you should choose grasses that do well in warmer areas such as buffalograss, zoyisagrass, bahiagrass, bermudagrass or centipedegrass. Some people feel that it is also a good idea to mix different types of warm season grass seed together when planting. If you are not sure which type of grass will work best, be sure to ask the store employee. Grass seed that tends to grow better in colder climates are ryegrasses, bluegrasses and bentgrasses.

Tips & Warnings
In some states, the water supply is loaded with huge amounts of chlorine. This can be a problem in areas like Arizona, where chlorine levels are extremely high. If you want the greenest grass ever, invest in a water filtration system that filters out the chlorine in the entire house--including water that goes outside. The water quality varies from state to state, so you may not need to do this where you live.
Use a lawn fertilizer that works with several types of grass.
