In Fort Meade, where inconsistent watering is common, we often recommend drought-tolerant varieties like Floratam or Empire Zoysia. These grasses have deeper root systems and better water retention, making them more forgiving of sprinkler gaps. We can assess your yard's sun exposure and soil to choose the most resilient option for a consistently green lawn.
