I spent quite a bit of time researching grass options for my backyard landscaping project. I planned for only 500 square feet to minimize water usage. I’m very happy with this grass as it has a much softer texture than any fescue lawn and it has been easy to control it creeping into adjacent flower beds compared to Bermuda grass. I started with leaving it long and it looked great but it wasn’t practical since I have a fig tree and need to be able to pick up fallen fruit. It suffered a few brown patches when I cut it down to a shorter height, but it has come back very nicely now. It does prefer a cooler zone than my zone 9-10 yard but I have a tall hedge on the west and shady fig which helps keep it cooler in the afternoons. I mow with a 17” battery powered mower at about one to one and a half inches. I will raise the height this summer to save more water.

I really like this native grass. Has been growing well and looks nice year round where many native grasses go dormant. Haven’t experimented with differing water times but so far I’m doing every 3 days. Keeps it happy. A bit pricey but I don’t mind because it’s quality and native

Love how this grass has transformed our yard and durable for my dogs and kids.
