Looking at renovating front lawn this fall. Want to go straight KBG and possibly going with a single cultivar. Chicago area. Want deep dark green, drought tolerance, and disease resistance. Probably going to be lowering height to about 1.5-2" with the timemaster. Looking to see what people have used and have had good success with. Any insight is helpful. Eyeballed bewitched due to this covering all the bases but the multiple years for the "darkening" is not something I want to deal with (I'm not patient).
