Turf Type Tall Fescue Sod Installation

Turf Type Tall Fescue (TTTF) Sod Installation

Turf Type Tall Fescue sod installation provides a lush, green lawn solution well-suited for the Transition Zone climate of Northeast Oklahoma.  Tall Fescue offers a good balance of heat and cold tolerance, performing better in these fluctuating conditions than many other cool-season grasses.

This turfgrass option is relatively low-maintenance, requiring less fertilization and watering than some other varieties once established, and boasts good disease resistance.

While it can stay green year-round in mild winters, it may require supplemental watering during hot, dry summers to prevent browning.

Tall Fescue's bunch-type growth habit means it's less invasive than spreading grasses, but also means damaged areas may need reseeding.

Our professional installation ensures a healthy start for your Tall Fescue lawn, giving you a beautiful and functional outdoor space.

Features

Tall Fescue is a cool-season turfgrass well-adapted to the Transition Zone, including Northeast Oklahoma.  It offers a balance of heat and cold tolerance.

Pros:

• This cultivar is more heat and drought-tolerant than other cool-season grasses, making it suitable for the Transition Zone.

• Can handle partial shade better than many other cool-season grasses. Most commonly used in our area in high shade zones and along northside of structures and fences.

• Generally resistant to many common turfgrass diseases.

• Can stay green throughout the winter in mild winters.

Cons:

• Annual Reseeding Required:  Except for unique circumstances, this turfgrass type will  require annual reseeding to maintain density and turf quality.

• While this cultivar is much more disease resistance than other cool season turfgrasses, this type will experience more disease pressure than common bermudagrass.

• Not as heat-tolerant as warm-season grasses: Can struggle in extremely hot and dry summers, even with proper care.  Will require supplemental watering July-September.

• Requires more water than warm-season grasses: While drought-tolerant compared to other cool-season grasses, it still requires more water than warm-season varieties.
