I want to know too!. I have a Red Maple and it's so bare under the tree.
Hi Michael,
Take a picture and go to your local nursery where they have different kinds of grass seeds, they can make a recommendation for your location and climate.

What zone are you in? What works for me in zone 9 may not grow in your area. Visit a reputable nursery and see what is available and will thrive in your yard.
It may depend on your planting zone. In my zone seven creeping red fescue is recommended.
For your local recommendations —I would highly suggest contacting your cooperative extension. These offices are manned by volunteer master gardeners on site there waiting to answer the communities questions that know your local situation quite well.
Master gardeners are required to volunteer back designated hours ( plus continuing education) each year to maintain MG certification -this community outreach and education— to help you out— is their goal.
