  • In this video I will be giving my review and opinion on the Mountain View Top Choice LS Turf Type Tall Fescue. I selected this seed to test out in a section of my lawn and the results speak for themselves. The #1 thing that I prefer about this grass seed is the AMAZING color. Check out my video for my review on this grass seed. I will be continuing to provide updates throughout the next year as to how this seed is performing when conditions get tough next summer.
    Mountain View Seed also produces other grass types such as Ryegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, and many others to fit your specific needs.

    How did you order this seed? Their website has no order page, just explains what types they have. Weirdest website for seed I've seen.

      @ElevatedLawnscapes  2 роки тому +8

      This question has come up many times so I have pinned the response for everyone.
      Newsom Seed is local to me in MD so I just go there to purchase the seed. You can do the same if you are in the DMV area because they do not ship seed at this time.
      MVS LS varieties are in a number of relabeled distributors seeds that you may be able to find locally to you also. Do a little research with your local landscape suppliers and nurseries. If not, here is a link to a online place to purchase the seed. It may not be the exact varieties I have because this was last year's blend but it will be MVS varieties and quality.

      So does the blade stay at that thickness/width? I have Kentucky Bluegrass. It looks really good at this particular moment and is my favorite as far as texture/width/thickness/color, but it's a pain because it doesn't seem to hold up well in the summer here in NJ so instead of enjoying my grass in the fall and spring I'm always doing damage repair. I have some tall fescue but it's clumpy, with massive hard blades and doesn't look good with the KB. This stuff looks interesting. How is the drought/disease/shade tolerance compared to KB?

Its worth the investment given the quality of the turf that came up. Also used Mazama for the shady side of my backyard and it blended well. The thinner blade of the TTTF makes it look more uniformed with the KGB.

      Fertilizers choice should be based on what your soil needs from the results of your soil test. As far as brands I am testing 3 right now and they are all doing well....Protene, ProPeat, YardMastery.
      Weed Killers it all depends on the time of year. I try to treat weeds early spring and stop spraying weeds once temps are over 80-85. We have some cooler temps coming you could go with Speedzone or Triplet. Again those have temperature restrictions that you need to follow. You could pick up some Bio-advance from your local big box store also you want something with 2-4,D as the active ingredient. Hope this helps.

    I purchased this seed from newsom as well. Put it down 9lb per 1000. Used scotts starter fert and sprayed tenacity. Raked it, rolled it and put down peat moss. Rained super heavy the next day, couple wash outs that were repaired and im hardly getting any germination after day 5. Watering every 2 to 3 hours by hand to keep the bed moist. Am i doing something wrong?

    • @ElevatedLawnscapes
      @ElevatedLawnscapes  10 місяців тому +1

      My first observation is that it is a little early to plant seed in this area right now and it has been pretty hot the past 2 weeks. I have seen hot temps slow the germination. Outside of the temp, its only day 5 have some patience seed germination can take up to 10-14 days when under adverse conditions for example high heat. Hopefully the temps will cool down soon for you.

      This is cool season tall fescue and KBG mixed. During the winter it is not going to be as green as the warmer months but it will not be completely brown like a warm season grass type. In Eastern NC you will need to make sure your watering schedule, fertilization and fungicide program is dialed in for the best results.

      @ElevatedLawnscapes  3 роки тому

      You can do either one, it really depends on how much good quality existing grass you have and how much work you are willing to do. Its not necessary to kill it off but know that it may take a bit longer over time for it to become uniform working with your existing grass. It is possible without killing off your existing grass but my approach was to kill of the existing grass in this area. I have another video showing that process also. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
