​Imagine a lush, deep green lawn that stays vibrant through the cooler months. That's what Tall Fescue offers. It's a cool-season grass that really shines when the weather is mild, between 55 and 75 degrees. While it prefers these temperatures, with a little extra care during the hotter days—think regular watering, feeding, and healthy soil—it can still look fantastic.

 

Now, Tall Fescue does have a robust, upright feel, which gives your lawn a strong, healthy appearance. And here's a simple tip: keep it a bit longer, between 3 and 5 inches, especially when it's hot and dry. This helps it stay cool and retain moisture.

 

What makes a Southern type Tall Fescue special is its naturally rich, dark green color - it's been bred for resilience. It fights off diseases and handles dry spells better than those not specialized for the South. It even has a natural, waxy coating on its leaves, kind of like an apple, that locks in moisture and protects it from the elements.

 

And here's the best part: its roots go deep, up to four feet deep! This means a stronger, more resilient lawn that can handle almost anything. Whether you have clay or sandy soil, or your yard is sunny or partly shaded, this Tall Fescue will thrive. It's a great choice for overseeding and bringing new life to your existing lawn. Think of it as giving your yard a strong, healthy foundation that looks beautiful almost year-round.
