Turf-type fescues have
increased in popularity in the past few years because of their deep root
system of 3 to 6 feet that greatly reduces the frequency of watering and
fertilizing. Older varieties, such as the K-31, were wide-bladed
bunchgrasses. The new varieties of fescue also have a more appealing color
than those older varieties. They have good resistance to disease and
insects and perform well in shade or full sun. Proper seeding and
maintenance during establishment are essential to produce quality turf for
your lawn. Our fields are seeded with varieties that have slower
vertical growth, which decreases the frequency of mowing. Turf-type
fescue sod is an excellent choice to use in conjunction with our turf-type buffalograss to produce a unique reduced-maintenance
lawn.
