Allergy Tips

What's the more allergenic grass,
Kentucky bluegrass or St. Augustine?

If you suffer from outdoor allergies, not all grasses are created equal. If you're not sure whether you should go with Kentucky bluegrass or St. Augustine, fear not! The decision is simple: Kentucky bluegrass gives off much more pollen than the St. Augustine variety. When it comes to grasses, St. Augustine is really the only low-allergen choice. But don't groan if you already have a lawn and it isn't St. Augustine. By mowing any type of grass lawn frequently, you can prevent the grass from flowering and releasing high levels of pollen into the air.
