Grass that will grow in the shade

yard that I want to grow grass in

I have a very shaded piece of property but would love to plant grass throughout. Is there any type of grass seed that will thrive in full shade to partial shade?


Doug says that grass is a full sunlight plant and while some species will take a bit of shade - what you're showing me means that the grass will always be sparse and weak (no matter the species). There are no grasses that grow in the full shade like under this kind of tree canopy. Or more precisely, no grassses that will grow so you can enjoy a lawn - anything you plant will struggle and look like it's struggling.

Sorry.
