Lawn CareGrass Seed Selection & Irrigation Gap3MediumHomeowner$ implied

Homeowner needs grass seed that will germinate and thrive on a large 1.5-acre full-sun lawn with no irrigation, only rainfall.

Existing premium grass seed brands (GCI, United, Twin City) are marketed for optimal growth with irrigation; homeowner lacks information on which, if any, can reliably germinate with rainfall alone, and K31 is undesirable.
