Laura Meadow Fescue is a high-quality, cool-season grass seed blend carefully developed for durability, versatility, and natural beauty. With its fine-textured, soft blades and vibrant green color, it creates a lush, resilient turf suitable for both residential and agricultural landscapes.

Engineered to establish quickly, this fescue develops a strong, deep root system that enhances soil stability, supports erosion control, and withstands moderate foot traffic. Its adaptability to a wide range of soils — including loam, clay, and moderately acidic to neutral pH levels — makes it a reliable choice across varied growing conditions.
