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.
