Turf-Type Tall Fescue stands out as one of the best-performing cool-season grasses for homeowners who want a durable, beautiful lawn with minimal fuss. With its deep roots, strong drought tolerance, and adaptability to a wide range of climates, Tall Fescue Lawn is an excellent balance of aesthetics and resilience.

Tall fescue might be tough, but August is still a survival month. With 2 inches of morning watering, pest vigilance, low-nitrogen fertilizer, and smart mowing practices, I keep my lawn steady through the heat. Once September arrives, tall fescue naturally bounces back, ready to green up and grow thick again.
