If you are looking for the most sustainable, low-input turfgrass option, fine fescues are the perfect fit! Fine fescues have great drought tolerance (less watering), a low nitrogen requirement (little/no fertilizer needed), and a slow rate of growth for DRAMATICALLY reduced mowing. Most folks mow their fine fescue lawns 2-4 times a year, with some individuals foregoing mowing altogether! Do note that fine fescue lawns struggle with heavy foot traffic, so if your yard has people or pets that trample through the lawn, the fine fescues might not be your best fit! Eco seed low grow fine fescue does great in both sunny and shady lawns.
Plant at a rate of 8 pounds per 1000 square feet.
