I've heard of native grasses like Buffalo but there are supposedly pros and cons to it, like it sprouts up late and dies off early. They say to mix it with other kinds so that they sprout early and stay later. Ok, what kinds?

We're looking for a lawn that we can water once a week and maybe mow once a month, and it would still look good? That would be great. Can we do that?

What seed mixes should I look for, for that, which would grow well in Denver?

Thanks in advance for your help.
