Ryan Knorr Lawn Care Elite Fine Fescue

Price range: $99.99 through $209.99

Fine fescue has been making a comeback in the northern climates and for good reason! More and more research has produced varieties which are drought tolerant, low maintenance, disease resistant, and require less fertilizer than other cool season grass types.  Add in the fact that they can be used in shade situations and many are quick to realize the benefits that a low input lawn of fine fescue provides.  I have been testing fine fescue in 3 different plots at my location and have found that they can be used in full sun or full shade.  Full sun plots do some show dormancy/browning in mid summer but bounce back when cooler weather and rain returns in the fall.  Mowing height is best around 2.5″ or below since these are very fine in texture and don’t stand up as well at taller heights of cut. In wet and shady areas fine fescue is not as traffic tolerant so keep that in mind.

Ryan Knorr Lawn Care Elite Bermuda Grass

Price range: $149.99 through $499.99
Bermuda grass has long been a stand out warm season grass that thrives in sunny and hot climates.  In the past, hybrid vegetative types (ones that are only available in the form of sod, plugs or sprigs) were the only way to achieve low cut high end bermuda.  Things have evolved with seeded varieties and we are now able to offer elite seeded cultivars that can be mowed as low as 1/2", feature dark green color and fine texture, and are drought resistant and cold tolerant for areas that are seeing warmer summers but also still get cold in winter.  Please note that bermuda does not do well in most shade situations so please make sure you are seeding this in an area with plenty of sun.

Ryan Knorr Lawn Care Elite Fairway Gold

Price range: $79.99 through $199.99
There’s something about a perfectly manicured lawn on its own—but pairing it with a thoughtfully designed landscape takes that beauty to another level. I’ve always appreciated ornamental grasses, but imagine achieving that same wispy, golden prairie look using a carefully selected blend of turfgrasses. That’s where Fairway Gold shines. Plant it in a selected landscape area and let it grow tall to create a rich, golden backdrop that is natural and low maintenance. Or, plant it just as you would any traditional grass seed in your lawn and simply mow it a few times a year to enjoy a relaxed, prairie-inspired aesthetic for a natural, low-maintenance approach. Native areas will only improve with time and good management practices.  Do not use Tenacity or Mesotrione at time of seeding.

Ryan Knorr Lawn Care Elite Kentucky Bluegrass

Price range: $79.99 through $229.99
For some, Kentucky Bluegrass will always be the king of cool season grass and it's not hard to understand why.  Bluegrass was the standard that I grew up with in the northern climate and offers exceptional color and soft texture while being able to recover from stress and damage in the lawn by spreading.  While it is slower to establish at first, once it does you will be amazed at the overall quality of bluegrass and it definitely stripes too!

Ryan Knorr Lawn Care Elite Turf Type Tall Fescue/Bluegrass

Price range: $74.99 through $149.99
Tall Fescue and Bluegrass blends have become increasingly popular throughout cool season land. A predominantly tall fescue blend utilizes the strengths of that grass type with better drought tolerance, dark green color, and disease resistance with elite varieties. Add a small amount of bluegrass to the equation and you have the spreading and repairability of bluegrass that also helps to produce a thicker sod without competing with the tall fescue itself.  If you want tall fescue with added benefits, this is the one for you!
