KING'S NATIVE LAWN MIX
Short Description:
King’s Native Lawn Mix provides all the visual beauty of a uniform lawn with the drought-tolerance and low maintenance of native Texas grasses. Heartiness is achieved through the use of multiple species, but the uniformity of the leaves and color make for a lush, beautiful lawn. King’s Native Lawn Mix has been observed to outperform Bermudagrass in terms of establishment rates, turf thickness, mowing rates, and weed resistance. We recommend not mowing at all, but if you want to mow it should be mowed every 3 to 5 weeks (when growing) at a height of 4 inches. This mix requires less water than traditional lawn grasses, reasonable resistance to foot traffic, and little to no herbicide application or fertilization. King’s Native Lawn Mix can be planted in two times of the year. In the spring, after the last frost; and in the fall, two months before the first frost. Depending on where you live and when the frost comes and goes will determine the best planting time. Feel free to contact us on advice for the best planting time for your area. We do not recommend planting once the temperatures have begun to drop below 65 at night.
