Benefits of Fescue Sod in Midwest Climates

The midwestern climate can make lawncare and grass growth a difficult undertaking. With its high temperatures and humidity followed by harsh, frigid winters, the sod you choose for your residential, commercial, or recreational lawns can make a substantial difference.

Durability

Fescue sod is ideal for areas with high foot traffic like residential lawns or city parks where damage is likely. With strong, deep root systems designed to recover quickly, you don’t have to worry about frequent maintenance and repair.

Fescue Sod Maintenance Tips

If you have chosen fescue sod from Siouxland Sod for your lawn, we want to make sure you have the best experience possible! The first three weeks after installation are the most crucial for success as the root system is developing, so we recommend following these care tips early on:

  • Water sod every 2-3 days for the first 2-3 weeks
  • Water early in the day to avoid fungal growth
  • Do not mow or walk on your lawn for the first week after installation

Once your fescue sod lawn’s root system is established, this low-maintenance grass will require little management from you. There are, however, a few things you can do to keep your lawn lush and healthy for years to come:

  • Supplemental watering is necessary for the long-term life of your grass, if you receive less than 1-2 inches of rain per week
  • Regular mowing during the growing season is essential, as it’s important to keep your fescue grass shorter than three inches for even sunlight distribution

If you choose Siouxland Sod for installation and delivery, you can count on us to guide you through maintenance and care, so that you can enjoy your beautiful lawn for as long as possible.
