Default My blue spruce has killed my lawn asked again.

unfortunately, I can't 'mulch' the tree out to the fall line.
and the other days high winds blew the needles much father than the drip
line. Much farther indeed.
It's a very dense tree and the needles and twigs build up. When the wind
blows, they tend to cover a lot of ground.

So I'll ask again...."Is there a variety of grass seed/sod that is resistant
to fir tree needles.
The tree is 30' plus, and we did have to have the bottom professionally
trimmed so that we and our neighbors could walk.

So...again, besides stone, mulch, that would not be appropriate, is there a
variety of real grass that will survive.

Please and thank you



What part of the world are you in? Why can't you mulch the tree? Is
there a reason why the tree is dropping so many needles and debris?
It would be very hard, if not impossible to get grass to grow under such
a tree. Mulch or rock is a great groundcover. Why not utilize it?
If I knew what part of the world you were in, I could maybe suggest a
few shade and acid tolerant groundcovers to consider.
