Our
Sod is a Fescue / Bluegrass Blend. Consisting of 90%
three types of fescue and 10% bluegrass by volume.
The three types of fescue are drought resistant
varieties and bluegrass gives you the rapid healing
ability in case of damages.
Kentucky Bluegrass Blends (KBB)
Kentucky bluegrass blends contain two or more
varieties of Kentucky bluegrass. They are best
suited for the north central Piedmont region and
areas along and west of the Blue Ridge Mountains of
Virginia, requiring moderate to full sunlight,
periodic fertilization and irrigation, and good soil
drainage in order to provide quality turf. Kentucky
bluegrass blends can provide high levels of turf
quality on lawns, athletic fields, recreational
areas, and in situations where erosion control is
necessary and moderate maintenance is possible.
Tall Fescue or Tall Fescue-Kentucky Bluegrass
Mixtures (TF)
These mixtures generally contain from 90 percent to
100 percent improved "turf-type" tall fescues and 0
percent to 10 percent Kentucky bluegrass. Tall
fescue is a broader-bladed grass than Kentucky
bluegrass and therefore this sod has a slightly
coarser texture than Kentucky bluegrass sod. Tall
fescue sod is moderately drought and shade tolerant
and performs well throughout Virginia. It is adapted
to a wide range of soil conditions and management
programs. It is not well suited to heavily
trafficked areas but performs well on lawns,
moderately trafficked recreational areas, and in
situations where low maintenance erosion control is
necessary. Since Kentucky bluegrass withstands
traffic better than tall fescue, it is sometimes
mixed with tall fescue to enhance recovery from
traffic injury. |
