Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are the main features of the No Mow Lawn Seed Mix?
The No Mow Lawn Seed Mix is composed of 70% Hard Fescue (2 Improved Varieties) and 30% Sheep Fescue (1 Improved Variety). This fine-bladed mix is designed for reduced maintenance, drought tolerance, and minimal mowing. It is a great alternative for environmentally conscious individuals, suitable for utility areas, transition zones, and shaded areas.

2. When is the best time to seed the No Mow Lawn Seed Mix?
The No Mow Lawn Seed Mix should be seeded in early fall or spring on a prepared site free of weeds. Spring plantings benefit from early season moisture, while fall plantings benefit from moderate temperatures. Expect germination in one to two weeks post seeding.

3. How should the No Mow Lawn be maintained in terms of mowing?
No Mow Lawn should be mowed occasionally to maintain a height ranging from 3.5 to 4 inches. Mowing shorter than the recommended height can damage the fine fescue grasses. Ideally, mowing twice a year – once in late spring and again in fall – is suggested to keep the lawn neat without causing harm to the grasses.

4. What makes the No Mow Lawn Seed Mix a suitable choice for landscaping?
The No Mow Lawn Seed Mix forms a lush green carpet of grass in full sun or partial shade, withstanding moderate foot traffic. Its dense fescue root system inhibits weed growth, while the specially blended fine fescue varieties enhance drought resistance. The versatile mix of bunch forming and creeping fescues creates a weed-resistant sod that requires minimal watering and no chemical treatments.
