Well, here in Texas, most people have St. Augustine grass for their lawns, which is hearty for our hot summers, but goes dormant (brown) in the witner months. Those people who want green grass in the winter also spread rye grass seeds which grows during the winter months and fills in the St. Augustine's lack of growth. THey seem to be compatible and neither chockes out the other. If you live in a place that gets snow in the winter, you're out of luck.

just do nothing.... just spray whatever color grass you want... my neighbor got the black and white polka dot spray - but though it looks good... it really creates problems with big dogs and wild pigs!
Good Luck DDE...
