Helpful Tips from Lawn Advisors:
What is tall fescue?
Tall fescue is a hardy grass seed variety that forms a dense, green lawn. It’s able to resist drought, tolerate shade, and stand up to high traffic, making it perfect for active outdoor spaces.
When to plant fescue grass seed?
The optimal time to seed this mix is during spring and fall when temperatures consistently range between 55 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. You can also seed this mix in winter months when temperatures consistently fall below 40 degrees F.
How long does fescue grass seed take to grow?
Expect germination between 6-12 days.
How to plant fescue grass seed?
- Apply at the correct rate. For overseeding, use 2 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft.; for starting a new lawn from scratch, use 8 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. For patching, cover the area lightly with seed and topdress with compost or a light layer of soil if desired.
- Start at the lowest setting and apply uniformly. For hand or drop spreader applications, no matter the spreader type, always begin at the lowest setting. Increase the spreader setting if the seed is getting stuck or not easily distributed. Walk at a consistent pace across the lawn to distribute seed uniformly. Check after application for uniformity and reapply in areas where coverage is light.
- Water the seed to germination. Keep seed moist, not oversaturated, until grass seed germinates - depending on grass type this can be 1-3 weeks. Avoid letting new or germinating seeds dry out to ensure successful seeding.

I'm overseeding this fescue rescue for a patch on a bare area
It sprouts dark green grass.
I ordered two more bags.
thank you
When it comes to this fescue rescue however, I applied it to my lawn as the directions instructed gave it just a light covering of organic planting soil from my local nursery, and in less than a week I'd began to see beautiful green sprouts of fes...Read MoreRead more about review stating I'm a novice that gets great results!
cue growing with ease.
It is now Just a couple weeks later and those small little sprouts look thick and luscious.
The darkness of the green is beautiful, if I felt really confident, I would get rid of the grass that is currently on my lawn back down to bare dirt, So I can start the lawn over using only the fescue rescue seeds..
It is such a beautiful grass that it makes the surrounding grass look not so good.
I am confident that I can get the grass around it to look better with proper care and maintenance but the fescue rescue is certainly on another level.
I absolutely love the fact that it is pet friendly and resists urine as I do have a pet dog and I haven't seen any other grass make these claims.
Certainly time will tell if it is true but at the moment I have no complaints.
Fescue rescue is going to be my go to seed for overseeding and for patching bare spots. Read LessRead less about review stating I'm a novice that gets great results!
