Tall Fescue

Fescue is a cool-season lawn grass that thrives in cooler climates and transition zones. It is well-suited for cool, moist growing conditions. Fescue doesn't do well in dry weather, and needs to be frequently watered in the summer. An irrigation system or the ability to extensively water your lawn is recommended. Fescue is considered the perfect grass for transitional areas that are too hot for other types of cool season grasses and too cool for warm season grasses. Fescue does particularly well in areas that are heavily shaded.

Tall Fescue is a type of sod that can best survive in a climate that is cold and has extremely low light. It is primarily found in Europe because of the cold weather and locations near coastal areas, seashores, grassland with lots of moisture and on the banks of rivers but in the northern part of the hemisphere. In the 1800s this grass was introduced in the US as a lawn grass but soon its special features were used for agriculture purposes. The people who want to establish a pasture farm must consider this type of sod by Atlanta Sod Farm. The above-mentioned locations are ideal for it but exposure to drought for too long can make it inactive. Unlike other types of sods, it can easily grow in minimal sunlight. Tall Fescue can grow in places where the soil is rocky, sandy or has clay in it. But be very careful as it can’t bear heavy foot traffic, although the overall grass is tough and can be difficult to trim. As the grass grows very well in moist weather so an irrigation system must be used to water it. This must be specially done in the summer season to avoid withering.
