Traffic & Durability
This blend is designed for high-traffic lawns, active families, and pets. Tall Fescue provides deep roots and drought tolerance, while Annual Ryegrass offers fast germination and quick coverage. Kentucky Bluegrass adds spreading ability for long-term density.

- Fertilizing: Apply starter fertilizer at seeding, then a balanced fertilizer after 6–8 weeks.
Soil Preparation
- Remove weeds and debris.
- Loosen top 2–3 inches of soil.
- Test pH: ideal range is 6.0–7.0.
- Incorporate topsoil or compost if needed for better establishment.
Origin & Quality
Oregon and Idaho-grown grass seed is known worldwide for its superior quality. This blend is certified, independently tested, and contains no noxious weeds. The Water Saver Seed Coating improves germination success by reducing seedling water stress.
FAQ
- What does the seed coating do? It improves water retention and helps seedlings survive periods of dry weather.
