Redding Sod : Bolero or Endurance Fescue Sod Lawn

90/10 Tall Fescue Blend

A combination of 90% tall fescue and 10% bluegrass, this blend is faster-growing than dwarf fescues and therefore stands up to better in high traffic areas. This blend has a medium leaf texture and can be mowed to a height of 1.5 to 2 inches. 90/10 tall fescue produces very little thatch, is low maintenance and disease resistant. This tall fescue blend is one of the most shade tolerant turf products and is a superior sod for all types of applications.

In areas with no more than 40% shade, this tall fescue should be maintained at a higher mowing height of 3 to 4 inches. With more blade height, the turf will better utilize the limited amount of sunlight, preserving turf density. Under shade conditions you may need to set separate irrigation zones, applying less water in the shaded area.

Endurance Tall Fescue

Endurance, a Sierra Sod product, combines the drought, heat, shade, and wear tolerances of tall fescue with the heavy, root rhizome qualities of bluegrass; which improves the turfs recoverability from foot traffic while providing a dark green color and excellent turf texture. Endurance has a deeper, denser root system and requires less frequent irrigation, it also has the ability to penetrate compacted soils. Turf-type tall fescue has better resistance to fungus problems such as leaf-spot, rust, and fusarium roseum and can tolerate soil salinity more than other cool season grasses. Endurance is an exceptional choice for industrial /commercial installations, residential homes, parks and playfields with foot traffic on a continuous basis. It has the ability to fill in divots on worn areas.
