Zander Sod’s Tall Fescue
An aesthetically pleasing, shade tolerant grass for your home.
Zander Sod’s Tall Fescue is a superior combination of highly ranked grasses in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) trials. It is a TWCA certified blend of two different varieties, with a touch of Kentucky Bluegrass to improve tensile strength during harvest. Once established, it is low maintenance, requiring less fertilizer and irrigation. While all grasses require some sunlight to grow, our Tall Fescue blend is a little more shade tolerant than Kentucky Bluegrass. This exciting new blend has the increased shade tolerance of Tall Fescues but an aesthetically pleasing colour, coarse leaf texture, and spreading growth habit similar to that of Kentucky Bluegrass.
Benefits to installing sod in fall
The cooler temperatures and timely rainfall during the fall prevent sod from overheating and drying out and encourage roots to establish before the harsh temperatures force the sod into winter dormancy or rest. The sod remains dormant during the colder months and will begin to grow as spring approaches. Once spring rolls around your sod will have had a head start in establishing a strong root system and will be ready to survive the season.

The sod we provide homes and businesses is a Turfgrass Water Conservation Alliance (TWCA) product. The TWCA prides itself on using peer-reviewed, objective data to produce the most drought-tolerant turfgrass possible.
