Popular cool season grasses that we spread include fine fescue blends for our transitional climate. The advantage of a blend is the diversity that it provides. Each type of seed included in the blend has it's own strength and each has been choosen for our area.
The primary seed we use is very high quality. According to the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program, it rates well for sun and shade. Also it is known for good heat and drought tolerance. It has a fine leaf and dark green color. It contains 0% weed seed and has a high 92% to 93% germination rate. It's specially formulated for this area of county where we live in Middle Tennesse with it's cold winters but hot summers.
Another popular choice is the tall turf type fescues such Kentucky 31. The advantage of KY31 is it's broad leaf which also is drought resistant.
Rye grass is often included in the application to help support the growth of other seed that often takes root slower. Rye helps to prevent the fescue seed from washing away due to heavy rainfall. So it does well repairing bare spots.
There are many benefits to aerating your lawn some of these are outlined below.
Decompacts the soil from traffic from people or pets.
