Kansas City Sod – Choosing the Right Type for Your Yard:
Kansas City is known as being part of the transition region in the United
States. Our area presents special challenges for all lawn grasses.
Different climate zones – cool, warm, humid & drought – all come
together in our region. Winters
are too cold for warm season grasses to survive and summers are too hot for
cool season types.
A lawn is an investment, so be sure to think about what you desire from your
yard before purchasing grass.
Fescue Grass:
Fescue is a fine-blade grass that is a true green color. Are you wondering
if this is the right grass for your lawn? Consider the pro’s and con’s of
fescue grass before making your decision!
FESCUE - PRO: Fescue
grass is tough
Fescue grass can handle a lot of foot traffic without getting damaged.
FESCUE - PRO: Fescue grass is drought resistant
Fescue is a heat-tolerant cool-season grass. Fescue has a deep root system
that helps with drought and heat protection.
FESCUE - PRO: Fescue grass is
weed-resistant
Fescue grass is tough and dense, making it more difficult for weeds to pop
up.
FESCUE - CON: Fescue grass may require over-seeding
This cool-season grass may require over-seeding in the fall in order to make
up for the stress it faced in the summer.
FESCUE - CON: Fescue grass may develop brown patches
Kansas City has high humidity and fescue grass may attract brown patches.
This can be prevented by watering earlier in the day and avoiding watering
in the evening or at night.
