Tall Fescue is a cool-season grass that works well in this area. It is dark green in color and has a medium size blade. Due to its appearance and ability to withstand foot traffic, fescue is perfect for a residential yard or a commercial landscape. Tall Fescue can adapt to partial shade, however it does require mostly sun throughout the day. Tall fescue does fairly well during drought conditions. Because fescue does not go into dormancy during the winter, it stays green all year round. Tall fescue requires regular maintenance to maintain its health and appearance.
Your satisfaction is our priority and we take pride in our work. We are prepared for any lawn care needs and will complete your requested tasks in a timely manner with detail and precision, and at a price you'll love.
IF YOU DO NOT INSTALL YOUR SOD IN A TIMELY MANNER AND WATER IT ADEQUATELY UNTIL IT ROOTS IT WILL DIE!!

AFH-Greenview Sod Farm guarantees that we sell only healthy sod that is cut fresh and locally grown. Although we take extreme pride in our sod, due to the perishable nature of the product, we can only guarantee the turf grass at the time of pickup or delivery. Sod should be installed immediately. Sod is extremely sensitive and requires extreme care. Proper preparation of the sod bed, installation, and maintenance of the sod is crucial to its health and appearance. Because of this, we offer no further guarantees or warranty, expressed or implied. Please inspect the sod prior to acceptance. ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
