Kentucky Bluegrass

The Classic, Premium Lawn

This is typically the most popular choice, known for its deep color and self-repairing nature.

Kentucky Bluegrass

The Sod CT Advantage: Our Kentucky Bluegrass is the gold standard for a beautiful, lush CT lawn. It handles heavy use and recovers beautifully.

Appearance
Deep, rich emerald green color; medium to fine texture; dense growth.
Best For
High-visibility areas, premium residential lawns, spaces requiring a carpet-like look.
Sunlight Needs
Requires full sun (at least 6 hours per day). Struggles in dense shade.
Durability
Excellent. It has a creeping growth habit (rhizomes) which allows it to self-repair quickly from foot traffic and minor damage.
Water Needs
Requires consistent watering, particularly in the summer heat, to maintain its deep color.

Tall Fescue

The Durable, Low-Maintenance Option

Highlight its resilience and lower maintenance requirements, making it ideal for busy families or challenging spots.

Tall Fescue

The Sod CT Advantage: A resilient, low-stress choice. Its deep roots help it stay green when others turn brown, making it a favorite for active households.

Appearance
Medium green color; slightly coarser texture than Bluegrass; grows in clumps.
Best For
High-traffic zones, athletic fields, play areas, properties with moderate sun exposure.
Sunlight Needs
Adapts well to full sun to partial shade. Excellent heat tolerance.
Durability
Exceptional heat and drought tolerance due to a deep root system, requiring less water than Bluegrass once established.
Water Needs
Good drought resistance. Requires less frequent watering than Bluegrass, saving you time and money.

Blue Fescue Blend

The Shade Tolerant Solution

This variety is crucial for properties with mature trees or areas with limited direct sun.

Blue Fescue Blend

The Sod CT Advantage: Stop fighting sparse, thin grass in shaded areas. Our Blue Fescue Blend is specifically chosen for its ability to create a thick, healthy turf layer where other grasses fail.

Appearance
Soft, fine-bladed grass with a slightly darker green color; very dense.
Best For
Lawns with significant shade cast by trees or buildings; sloped areas prone to erosion.
Sunlight Needs
Best performance in moderate to heavy shade. Can also tolerate partial sun.
Durability
Good traffic tolerance; less aggressive self-repair than Bluegrass, but superior performance in low light.
Water Needs
Moderate. Prefers well-draining soil and can be susceptible to fungus if overwatered in the shade.
