Meadowspring Turf Farm offers two varieties of tall fescue (cool season grasses):


Meadowspring Tall Fescue


Meadowspring Tall Fescue Sod is a mixture of tall fescue and a small percent of Kentucky Bluegrass. This mixture produces a wider blade grass that enables it to be moderately shade and drought tolerant. Meadowspring Tall Fescue will perform well throughout Virginia and works well on lawns. This product is well suited for moderately used areas where excessive traffic is not anticipated.


RTF® Sod

Not all grass is created equal. Over two decades ago, Barenbrug turf scientists developed RTF® (Rhizomatous Tall Fescue). This remarkable Tall fescue variety has the unique ability to spread aggressively for optimal performance. This innovative, patented technology has consistently performed in some of the world’s most demanding sports arenas and courses.

Meadowspring Turf Farm carries Bermudagrass and Zoysia grass to meet the extreme temperatures and drought conditions which can often be encountered during Virginia summers. These species will go dormant during the cool season and winter months.

Bermudagrass

Bermuda is extremely drought and traffic tolerant and requires full sunlight. It is great for lawns, golf courses, athletic fields and other areas where extensive winter traffic is not anticipated. Bermudagrass is a warm season grass that goes dormant in the winter in Virginia.

Zoysia

Zoysia is extremely drought resistant and slightly more shade tolerant than Bermuda. It functions well on lawns and moderately used recreational areas where excessive winter traffic is not expected. Zoysia is a warm season grass that goes dormant in the winter in Virginia.

Meadowspring Turf Farm grows four varieties of bermudagrass (warm season grasses):
