Climate and the zone are the first things you need to think of. There are two types of humidity in which grass grows, depending of course on the specie. There are types we call the warm season variety. This group includes Bermuda, buffalo, zoysia, centipede, and Bahia. And then there are bent, blue and rye grass and fecues. They are considered cold season grass. Choosing the right specie depending on your zone's humidity is an important factor to consider when growing the plant. The accessibility of the area to sunlight and water as well as the elevation of the area should be considered. These requirements should be met if you want to have a healthy grass.
The different species require high-maintenance. There is the ordinary type that simply grows once planted but there is also another types that requires a lot of water, fertilizers and other chemicals that help improve your grass.
