Fescue
Fescue Sod for Sale in Atlanta, GA
Fescue is a cool-season grass that stays green year-round in Georgia’s milder winters and provides a lush, soft feel underfoot. With its fine to medium texture and deep root system, Fescue sod is a great option for shaded lawns or customers looking for turf that maintains color when warm-season grasses go dormant.
At Atlanta Sod Supply, we deliver premium Fescue sod across Metro Atlanta and the Piedmont region. Fresh-cut and ready to install, Fescue offers a cool-weather alternative for lawns that demand year-round green.
Why Choose Fescue Grass Sod?
-
Fescue is a favorite for shaded lawns, transitional climates, and year-round curb appeal. Unlike warm-season grasses, Fescue doesn’t go brown in winter — making it ideal for homeowners who want a consistently green lawn throughout all four seasons.
-
While it does require more watering than Bermuda or Zoysia, it offers excellent performance in cooler temps, filtered light, and uneven terrain.
