Also, what did you use to replace the UC Verde, zk?[/quote]
We replaced it with regular old fescue. I made the lawn lower than the surrounding concrete and very level, and capped the drains. Therefore there’s zero runoff. Which helps a bit. Still more water then the buffalo grass. But it’s green in the winter, doesn’t shed runners, and it’s softer. It feels softer to me anyway.[/quote]
That’s why I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the Eco-lawn product. It’s composed of a variety of fescue grasses, and it’s supposed to be about as drought tolerant as the UC Verde.
Is your grass fairly drought tolerant relative to the UC Verde, or might there be different types of fescue grasses that are specifically selected for drought tolerance?
Sorry to bother you with these questions. We’re just trying to figure out what to do with our grass as well.
Also, did you DIY, or hire a contractor? We would prefer to go the contractor route if/when we change it out because our DIY lawn just doesn’t look anywhere near as nice as the lawns that were installed professionally.
