Turf Grasses

  • Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) is a popular cool-season grass known for its rich green color, soft texture, and dense growth. Commonly used in lawns, parks, and sports fields, it spreads naturally through underground stems, allowing it to self-repair and maintain a smooth, healthy appearance when properly cared for.

  • Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) is a durable cool-season grass valued for its deep roots, adaptability, and year-round green color. Commonly used for lawns, parks, and athletic fields, it tolerates heat, drought, and heavy foot traffic better than many grasses while requiring less water and maintenance.

  • Fine fescue is a group of cool-season grasses known for their fine texture, soft feel, and excellent shade tolerance. Commonly used in lawns and low-maintenance areas, it requires less water and fertilizer than many grasses and performs well in cooler climates and areas with limited sunlight.

  • Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is a fast-germinating cool-season grass prized for its bright green color and fine-to-medium texture. Commonly used in lawns, sports fields, and seed blends, it establishes quickly, tolerates heavy foot traffic, and provides a durable, attractive surface when properly maintained.

  • Annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) is a fast-growing cool-season grass commonly used for temporary ground cover, erosion control, and overseeding. It establishes quickly and provides rapid green color but does not return year after year, making it ideal for short-term use or as a nurse grass in lawn and field applications.

  • Crabgrass is a low-growing, fast-spreading grassy weed that thrives in warm weather and often invades lawns, gardens, and sidewalks, competing with grass for water and nutrients.

  • Foxtail is a type of grassy weed with tall stems and bristly, bottlebrush-shaped seed heads that commonly grows in fields, lawns, and roadsides, especially in warm climates.

  • Barnyard grass is a fast-growing annual grassy weed with broad, flat leaves that commonly grows in moist areas, fields, lawns, and gardens, where it competes with crops and turf for nutrients and water.

  • Goosegrass is a low-growing, tough annual grassy weed that forms dense clumps with flattened stems and thrives in compacted soil, often invading lawns, athletic fields, and pathways.
