TWCA Water-Wise Northwest Mix
Bring out the best in Pacific Northwest lawns with our TWCA-certified Water-Wise Northwest Mix—an elite, low-water turf blend designed to flourish in the region’s unique climate of wet winters, cool springs, and dry summers. Certified by the Turfgrass Water Conservation Alliance to use 30–50% less irrigation than conventional turfgrasses, this mix delivers championship-quality color, density, and vigor without excessive watering or inputs.
Premium Seed Composition
Fine-Texture Fescue Blend: Chewings, Creeping Red, and Hard Fescues selected for deep roots, shade tolerance under evergreen canopies, and exceptional summer drought resilience.
Perennial Ryegrass: Rapid germination and early green-up to establish a uniform stand before fescues mature, ensuring minimal bare soil.
Disease-Resistant Cultivars: Each variety chosen for proven performance against brown patch, red thread, and other common Pacific Northwest turf diseases.
Key Benefits
Water Conservation: Uses 30–50% less water—ideal for summers of limited rainfall and municipal irrigation restrictions.
Climate Adaptability: Thrives through the region’s wet winters and dry summers, maintaining lush green color from March through October.
Shade & Sun Performance: Fine fescues provide excellent under-tree coverage, while ryegrass sustains vigor in open, sun-soaked areas.
Low-Input Maintenance: Slow-growing fescues reduce mowing frequency; minimal fertilization and no supplemental watering once established.
Durable & Wear-Resistant: Rapid recovery from foot traffic and pet activity, making it perfect for family yards and community green spaces.
Planting & Care Guide
Best Timing: Seed in early fall or early spring when soil temperatures are between 50–65°F.
Site Preparation: Core-aerate or till to alleviate compaction; remove debris and level surface. Adjust soil pH to 6.0–7.0 for optimal nutrient uptake.
Seeding Rate:
New Lawns: 6–8 lb per 1,000 ft²
Overseeding/Repair: 3–4 lb per 1,000 ft²
Establishment Watering: Light, frequent irrigation to keep the seedbed moist until seedlings reach 2–3 inches; then transition to deep, infrequent watering.
Mowing & Fertilization: Mow to 2–2.5 inches; apply a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring and late summer to maintain density and color.
Ideal For
Home lawns under fir, cedar, and maple canopies
Community parks, greenways, and HOA common areas
Eco-aware properties seeking low-input, resilient turf
Zones with summer water restrictions and fall recharge
With TWCA Water-Wise Northwest Mix, you get a beautiful, sustainable lawn that respects the Pacific Northwest’s water resources while delivering the lush, durable turf your family and community will love.
