Drought Tolerant Eco Lawn


This January, we have had hardly any rain and the day time highs have been in the 70s and 80s. Our new eco lawn is still very green and tolerating the hot dry weather nicely.

We seeded the last section of our yard with eco lawn seed last week. The grass is growing well in both shade and sun. Eco lawn is tolerating our big dogs so well that we did not even fence off the last section after applying the eco lawn seeds.

Our new eco lawn will not need to be mowed, because eco lawn is a type of fescue that only grows nine inches long and then folds over, creating a nice surface for dogs and children to play on.

How hard was it to establish your eco lawn?
I've read some bad reviews about using eco lawn in southern california, primarily that it doesn't take well.
How often do you water?
