can someone explain to me different turf types?

is tall fescue a grass type individually?
i mean, does ryegrass is grass type  and tall fescue is another type, and they are both "turf-type" ? the same family ?

i readed something like textured and non textured  grass family!

i wish someone arrange this many informations in my head:) thanks

i hope you understand

Yes, these grasses are indeed different species of grass.

"Turf" refers to the characteristics of the grass that allow it to be used as a lawn or playing surface: it can be cut short, regrows quickly and can be walked on (a lot).
"Pasture" grass refers to grasses that are good at developing the proteins and sugars animals need.

The type of grass used for turf is very dependent on climate so there is not a single "best turf grass."

so clear thanks:) actually, i have another two question:

1)does the tall fescue soft on feeling and a nice one or its harsh?

2)do you think i can mix tall fescue lawn with regress later? cuz i know that ryegrass looks good.

Tall fescue is a nice on bare feet; it is a common lawn variety for shade in northern part of the United States.

Rye and fescue are indeed common turf or lawn grasses.  What will work for you is totally dependent on your climate and local features like the amount of shade.

Either one makes for a fine lawn.  Seed both and see which one is happier and takes over?

good idea.
but what if i decided later that i wanna tall fescue . can i just stop seeding Rey and just seeding tall fescue? and then the ryegrass disappear and fescue dominate ?

You will probably be happy with a tall fescue/ ryegrass mix.  That is a common mix for part shade and having a mix of grasses makes the lawn as a whole more resilient.  Other wild grasses and groundcovers will also fill in your lawn over time, without any effort on your part. As Eliot said, whichever is best suited for your growing conditions will predominate over time.

If you do plant a mix of grasses, it is very difficult to selectively kill just one of them later.  You would have to pull up each individual plant that you did not want, or else kill everything and start over.
