Fescue/Bluegrass Blend
Our Fescue/Bluegrass blend combines drought-resistant varieties for year-round performance in shaded and sunny areas. This dark green turf offers excellent wear tolerance for residential lawns and commercial properties. We conduct annual field tests to ensure optimal growth characteristics and disease resistance.
Tahoma 31 Bermuda
Tahoma 31 Bermuda provides exceptional cold tolerance among warm-season grasses with early spring green-up and low water requirements. This dark green turf maintains density under heavy use, making it ideal for sports fields, golf courses, and high-traffic residential areas.

Meyer Zoysia offers superior wear tolerance and drought resistance with a dense growth habit that suppresses weeds. This low-maintenance turf adapts well to full sun conditions and maintains color through seasonal transitions in the Midwest climate.
