Replace your maintenance heavy water guzzling blue grass lawn with a turf-type tall fescue or native grass like Blue Grama or Buffalo grass. This change in turf type will significantly lower your maintenance and water needs.

Legacy Buffalo grass is the best variety for the inter-mountain west. Establish it with plugs spaced on 12” centers (3 months full coverage) or 6” centers (2 months coverage). Blue Grama grass is best established sowing seed. Establish turf-type tall fescue with conventional sod.

Following establishment water deeply but infrequently ½” or more at a time. Your mowing intervals will be 50-75% less than your former blue grass lawn.
