Centipede is a type of grass that stays VERY low and requires less cutting. I am happy with the way it looks. I am NOT sure if it has the RIGHT "Mommy May I" approval credentials. It is pretty sad when OWNERS of their own property can't pick the variety of grass that they can plant in their own lot.
......What's next, the Villages decides whether residents are allowed to have red or white wine at dinner?????
