1/4 of an inch, plus top growth. Dominance slabs measure 16 inches wide and 72 inches long when shipped, and contain 8 square feet of sod.
SHIPPING STANDARDS: Dominance is grown and maintained at a 1/4"
mowing height. It is rolled or folded with the soil facing out to protect the
turf from damage and stacked on pallets. Dominance is shipped sufficiently dry for transportation and handling, yet moist enough to facilitate installation. Dominance should be installed immediately

cold, and is adaptable to a wide variety of climates throughout the West.
WEAR RESISTANCE AND RECOVERY: Penncross was developed to
withstand and recover from the normal use and wear on golf course putting greens.

SHADE TOLERANCE: Dominance has only moderate shade tolerance.
Other factors associated with shade, such as poor air circulation and wet or compacted soils will frequently weaken the turf.
SOIL AND SALT TOLERANCE: Dominance prefers a moderately acidic
soil with good moisture holding ability and requires good drainage to perform to its optimum. Soil or water high in salts may be a limiting factor in the growth of healthy Dominance. Salinity levels should be determined prior to specifying this variety.
ESTABLISHMENT & MAINTENANCE
WATERING: Newly
planted Dominance should be watered daily and kept wet for the first 10-14 days. The sod should not be allowed to dry out. Once the sod has begun to establish a new root system, watering frequency should be reduced.
MOWING, FERTILIZATION & OTHER MANAGEMENT PRACTICES: Creeping bentgrasses such as Dominance require an intensive turf management program that begins immediately after establishment. A green's type mower is an absolute must for mowing, and a well managed program of fertilization and weed and disease control is required. Due to its high cultural requirements, the most successful creeping bentgrass turf
areas are those cared for by turfgrass professionals who are well versed in its management.
