Creeping red fescue
Great for cooler climates and shaded areas
Chewing's fescue
Ideal for a dense, slow-growing lawn
Sheep fescue
Perfect for acidic soils and low mow areas

Turf Care Tips
While low maintenance, turf still benefits from smart maintenance practices:
- Light fertilizing during spring and fall
- Raking or brushing to avoid matting in shady spaces
- Occasionally, weeding and debris removal
- Monitoring for weeds or compaction after heavy foot traffic
Proper maintenance keeps your lawn lush and vibrant through midsummer and beyond.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the best low-maintenance turf for my yard?
Fine fescue blends, like creeping red fescue and chewings fescue, are ideal for shaded areas and require minimal mowing or fertilizer. Tall fescue is an excellent choice for moderate foot traffic and drought conditions.
2. Is turf a good option for drought-prone areas like Newport Beach?
Yes! We install drought-tolerant turf, such as Bermuda grass, centipede grass, and fine fescue, which need less water and are better suited for warm-season grass climates.
3. Can turf handle kids and pets?
Absolutely. Certain turf types, like hard and tall fescue, are perfect for high foot traffic and durable enough for playful pets and kids.
4. What’s the difference between cool-season and warm-season grasses?
Cool-season grasses thrive in cooler climates or shaded areas and stay green most of the year. Warm-season grasses love summer heat and are more drought tolerant, but they may go dormant in winter.
5. How often will I need to mow or fertilize?
Most low-maintenance turf options need infrequent mowing and minimal fertilizer, usually once or twice a year. Some grass alternatives, like creeping thyme, need no mowing at all.
