Natural Lawn Grass Varieties for Your Garden

Your choice of grass should depend on how you use your garden. If you have active kids or pets, Bermuda is the tough, resilient option that handles heavy foot traffic well. If you want a soft, fine-textured lawn for looks rather than play, go for Korean or Mexican grass. I grow all these varieties on my farm, so you get fresh rolls that establish roots faster than the dried-out stock you find elsewhere.

I started Shiv Nursery in 2001 because I wanted to see more greenery in Delhi. Over the years, I realized that many people buy the wrong type of grass because they are sold what is in stock rather than what is right for their soil.

My approach is simple: I grow the grass, I harvest it, and I deliver it. When you buy from me, you are getting grass cut on the day of dispatch. This ensures the roots stay healthy and the green color lasts once it is laid in your home, office, or farmhouse.

Here is how I recommend choosing:

• Bermuda & Selection No. 1: These are the workhorses. They grow fast, handle the intense Delhi sun, and survive high-traffic areas. Perfect for large open spaces or play areas.
• Korean Grass: This is the premium choice. It has a very fine blade, looks dark green and lush, and feels soft underfoot. It requires a bit more care but is unmatched in elegance.
• Mexican Grass: A great middle ground. It is dense, carpet-like, and very affordable for large-scale greening projects.

Beyond just dropping off the rolls, my team handles the entire installation process. We do the ground leveling, add the necessary organic manure, and make sure the surface is free of stones and debris before laying the turf. If you are doing this yourself, remember that the preparation of the soil is just as important as the quality of the grass. A well-prepared base means less maintenance and a greener lawn in the long run.
