I'd bet the Extension Office is probably right. I would also suggest finding out which grasses are native to your area. Natives should need less water and fertilizer than the varieties the big box home center sells. Also, planting a variety of native grasses avoids problems of monoculture while giving a more uniform appearance than what is growing in your yard now.
