This is the lawn alternative for dog owners and Parks & Rec departments (dog not required). Premium turf-type tall fescue varieties and Microclover® provide wear and drought tolerance. The tall fescues' rhizomatous ‘self-repairing’ growth patterns and Microclover's salt tolerance helps reduce the effects of pet urine. A bit of vigorous perennial ryegrass rounds out the mix. Dog Park is a great choice for any high traffic area where drought tolerance and Rhizomatous Tall Fescue attributes are desired. Full sun to dappled shade.
This lawn can be maintained at a 2 inch height for a manicured look or up to 4 inches to let the clover bloom in the summertime.
