Low-Mow Kentucky Bluegrass

Kentucky Bluegrass has been a traditional turfgrass for cool-season lawns since our family began growing sod in the 1960’s.  It has medium-to-fine, soft grass blades and a deep blue-green color.  Our Kentucky bluegrass sod is a blend of modern hybrid varieties with a more compact growth pattern, allowing it to tolerate lower mowing heights for high-performance athletic fields and golf courses.  Under proper care, it also makes a beautiful lawn grass, forming a dense turf that is deep green in color and soft to walk on.

Highlights

Grows well in sun or partial shade.

Superior dark green color.  It is green most of the year.

Soft texture makes it nice for kids to play on, or to walk on with bare feet.

Recovery from wear.  With timely fertilization, bluegrass will spread by rhizomes in the fall and spring to fill in bare spots.

Under extreme heat and drought, Kentucky bluegrass can go into summer dormancy and come back in the fall.

Recommended Uses

Residential/Commercial Lawns – Makes a beautiful turf when it is well-maintained.  An underground sprinkler system is recommended

Athletic Fields – Best for high-performance athletic fields, especially soccer pitches, field hockey, and baseball infields.  It provides consistent ball roll and a good cushion.

Parks/Institutions – Grows well in sun and shade, plus has self-repairing capability to recover from foot-traffic

Golf Courses – Can be used for fairways, tees, roughs, or green surrounds.
