    5 Star Fescue Grass Seed

    By Tom on 04/19/2015

    I purchased 5 Star after being told by a local garden center it would grow better than any sod type grass in my lawn due to my lot being very shaded. I initially planted the seed in the fall and it came up pretty well but followed up with heavy oveerseeding this past March and April. The lawn is now beatiful and the envy of the neighborhood. Seed is cheap to attain a great lawn so buy enough to seed sufficiently and overseed as needed. I also applied a starter type fertilizer.

    5 Star Fescue

    By Barbara on 03/06/2017

    Love this grass! Planted for the first time October 2016 in my more shady areas. I have horrible sandy dirt and nothing has worked. This grass came up in eight days ..... beautiful green! I was worried that it wouldn't make it through the winter even though Texas winters aren't horrible. It lightened in color but during February it started greening up - a deep green/blue color that is gorgeous - and it's growing again. I over-seeded last week (March 1) and planted a new section. It's all up, and the established section is starting to run. LOVE this product!! Going to order more. I have an acre that I am going to plant. Neighbors have said how pretty it is. I ordered and had the product within 5 days....love this company! Will continue using them....very pleased! :)

    AMAZING

    By Rebecca on 06/21/2017

    I tried everything from sod to more expensive grass seeds. This stuff is amazing. Grew in 5-7 days in the heat of Oklahoma. Hopefully it won't die off in the winter since I planted it during the summer (not optimal time). DoMyOwn has great prices and awesome customer service.

    5 Star Fescue Grass Seed

    By Joel on 04/26/2014

    The grass is in the process of growing. The great thing about this seed and Do My Own Pest Control is the price and the quick service. Fantastic service! Quick time that I received it and the price was the best I found. My local guy said two weeks and the price was $40.00 higher. Keep up the good work!

Q
Is 5 Star Fescue Grass Seed Blend the best for a winter grass in Maricopa, AZ area?
A

The 5 Star Fescue Grass Seed Blend would not be our recommendation for a winter grass in the Arizona area. We would recommend a Rye Grass for your winter season. Something like the Pennington Smart Seed Perennial Rye Blend.   The best way to determine if this product would grow and establish well in your area would be to speak to somenone atyour Local Master Gardener center for what will thrive in your weather  and environments conditions.
