Our exclusive R&R Eco-Turf Mix with drought tolerant grasses and Microclover® is an earth-friendly, sustainable lawn. This mix holds up well to wear--perfect for kids, pets and high traffic areas. Low maintenance and low-input requirements leave you lots of time for rest and relaxation. Once established this mix requires little supplemental irrigation or fertilizer. Tolerates acidic and shady sites. Grows well in full sun or shade.
Microclover feeds the companion grasses with nitrogen making them look great all year long. The drought tolerant clover maintains a nice dark green color once established. Its inclusion with the grasses allows the soil to retain more moisture in dry periods which requires much less irrigation than a conventional lawn. Start an entirely new lawn with R&R or overseed onto existing perennial ryegrass and/or fine fescue lawns to gain some important eco-lawn benefits.
Mow about once a month. This lawn can be maintained at a 2 inch height for a manicured look or up to 4 inches or so to let the clover bloom in the summertime.

Sheep Fescue - Festuca ovina
Perennial Ryegrass - Lolium perenne
Hard Fescue - Festuca trachyphylla
