Tall Fescue – Charlotte’s Most Popular Lawn Grass
Tall fescue is the most popular lawn grass for homeowners in Charlotte and the surrounding Piedmont area. Charlotte Sodding delivers and installs more Tall Fescue than any other grass variety. According to NC State Extension, tall fescue is the most widely grown grass species for lawns in North Carolina. Why? There are several reasons, but our customers tell us they love our tall fescue sod because, as a cool-season grass, our tall fescue sod stays green year-round.
Charlotte Sodding’s tall fescue sod is grown from a blend of Kentucky Bluegrass and three tall fescue varieties. Our tall fescue has a deep green color and a fine leaf blade.
Highly shade-tolerant, tall fescue handles shade better than all other cool-season grasses (except for fine fescue). You can plant it in yards with significant tree shade and still maintain a healthy stand of grass.
Tall fescue is fairly low-maintenance and hardy. It tolerates heat and drought better than other cool-season grasses.
Our tall fescue blend produces a deep green, fine-textured lawn. It stands up to drought and disease.
