SOD SPECIFICATIONS:
No Mow® Fine Fescue Blend
GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The newest addition to the Medallion Fescue family grown exclusively by Pacific Sod. No Mow Fine Fescue Blend is grown using Pacific Earth Resources patented Garden Carpet Process. No Mow is an ornamental grass that has long slender blades which grow long and lay over, forming the rolling hills similar to a meadow effect. The sparkling deep green color remains beautiful year-round. A real problem solver in shade, No Mow is ideal for slopes and hillsides to control erosion or for hard to maintain areas.
RECOMMENDED USES: No Mow is recommended for residential, commercial and industrial landscape installations.
COMPOSITION: No Mow is grown from seeds which are propagated in a controlled cultural environment. This results in healthy sod which is virtually free of weeds, disease and insect infestations.
MEASUREMENTS: No Mow is harvested by machine to a uniform thickness of 5/8 of an inch, plus or minus 1/4 of an inch, plus 2 inch top growth. In Southern California, No Mow is harvested 15 inches wide by 48 inches long and contains five square feet of sod.
In Northern California it is harvested 18 inches wide by 72 inches long and contains 9 square feet of sod.
SHIPPING STANDARDS: Prior to harvesting, No Mow is trimmed uniformly to a height of between 2 and 2 1/2 inches for shipment. It is folded with the soil facing out to protect the grass from damage, and the sod is stacked on pallets. No Mow is shipped sufficiently dry for transportation and handling, yet moist enough to facilitate installation. It should be installed immediately after delivery. Heavy duty shipping pallets are the property of Pacific Sod. Should pallet pick-up be required, please make arrangements with the office from which the sod was ordered.
TEMPERATURE TOLERANCE: No Mow thrives in cooler temperatures, It may be used in full sun in cooler coastal climates and should be used mainly in shade for hotter inland locations.
WEAR RESISTANCE: No Mow is fairly wear resistant , however, it is not recommended for high traffic conditions. No Mow can also be maintained at a lower mowing height and used as traditional lawn, but should not be exposed to excessive wear for optimum health.
SHADE TOLERANCE: No Mow has very high shade tolerance for a cool-season type grass.
COLOR: No Mow has a deep, rich, green color which remains fairly consistent throughout the year.
In summer, turf color may lighten in extreme heat, but naturally recovers as temperatures decrease.
SMOG TOLERANCE: No Mow is highly resistant to smog and poor air quality situations.
SALT TOLERANCE: No Mow has good tolerance to saline soil conditions.
DISEASE AND INSECT TOLERANCE: No Mow has not shown any damage due to disease or insects.
ESTABLISHMENT & MAINTENANCE
WATERING: Newly planted No Mow should be watered daily
and soaked thoroughly for the first 7- 10 days to avoid drying out, and to enable
the root system to penetrate the soil. Once the sod has been established,
watering frequency should be reduced. Due to varying soil and local climate
conditions, it is difficult to recommend a definite watering schedule. However, a
deep soaking, 2-3 times per week, is adequate in most weather situations. During
periods of consistently high temperatures, additional watering may be
required. Turf planted in moderate shade conditions may require less frequent
irrigation.
MOWING: No Mow does not require mowing. Do not mow fully mature No Mow. To maintain traditional stand of grass, No Mow should be mowed at 2"- 2 1/2". Avoid scalping.
FERTILIZATION: To maintain its rugged beauty,
dense appearance and rich color, No Mow has relatively simple fertilization requirements. During the spring, summer and fall, No Mow should be
fertilized at quartely intervals with 1/2 to 1 pound of nitrogen applied per
1,000 square feet of turf.
WEED, INSECT AND DISEASE CONTROL: No Mow is virtually free of weeds, insects, and disease when it is delivered.
However, in some lawn installations, weed and insect infestations may occur
from close proximity to neighboring lawns which have these problems. High humidity, poor drainage and prolonged heat may encourage disease. Various
cultural practices may be used to reduce these problems; however, should
chemical controls be required, they should be used in accordance with the
written instructions provided by the manufacturer.

No Mow Fine Fescue Blend® is an outstanding mix of Creeping Red Fescue, Chewings Fescue, and Hard fescue. Very fine textured and dense, this mix is ideal for low-maintenance turf and shaded situations. When seeded lightly and left unmowed, No Mow Fine Fescue Blend is ideal for slopes and 'naturalized' areas. No Mow Fine Fescue Blend has a low fertility requirement with excellent cold tolerance.
Applications:
Erosion Control Low Maintenance Turf Areas Moderate Shade Conditions
Unmowed Slopes - Naturalized Areas
Climate Regions
Zone 1, Pacific Northwest
Zone 2, California
Zone 3, North, Great Basin Area
Zone 4, Northern Prairie - Intermountain West
Zone 5, North, Northern Plains States
Zone 6, Minnesota to Great North Woods
Zone 7, Missouri / Ohio Valleys through Southern New England
No Mow Fine Fescue Blend® is well adapted to low maintenance, shaded areas in both transition and cooler climates. Works well as a mowed turf or on unmowed roadsides, reclamation projects, slopes, and naturalized areas.
In cool climates such as the Pacific Northwest and Northeast, No Mow Fine Fescue Blend will provide a dense, low-growing turf for full sun and moderately shaded tolerance. For moderate climates with hot summers, No Mow Fine Fescue Blend is best planted in areas with minimal full afternoon sun.
Establishment from Seed:
For mowed, quality turf, seed at 5-6 lbs per 1000 sq. ft.
Apply with a quality starter fertilizer such as Pacific Sod Starter fertilizer 16-20-0.
Seed spring, late summer, and early fall. Fall is best for unirrigated cooler areas. Avoid late spring / summer seed plantings in most areas.
During germination, keep seed bed uniformly moist for approximately 3 weeks. Seed germinates in 10-14 days with full establishment in 8-10 weeks. Light use in 10-12 weeks.
Maintenance:
Water deeply and infrequently as needed during cooler months to promote a strong, deep root system. Increase frequency during dry, summer months.
Very low fertilization requirements; use 2-3 lbs of actual N per 1000 sq. ft. per growing season.
