TWCA Water-Wise Shade Turf Mix

Our TWCA Water-Wise Shade Turf Mix is a specialized, low-water turfgrass blend developed for shaded lawns and landscapes where traditional grass struggles to thrive. Certified by the Turfgrass Water Conservation Alliance (TWCA), this mix uses 30–50% less water than standard turf blends while maintaining density, color, and vigor under low-light conditions.

Formulated with elite, shade-tolerant varieties—including ‘Lifeguard’ Tall Fescue, ‘Bighorn GT’ Hard Fescue, ‘Enchantment’ Chewings Fescue, and ‘Moonlight SLT’ Kentucky Bluegrass—this mix creates a durable, fine-textured lawn that performs exceptionally well in tree-covered yards, north-facing slopes, and partially shaded urban environments.
