Does anyone have any experience with "no mow" grass? I have seen it before and it is pretty with a softer pillowy look.

Douglas Hunt on May 03, 2012So-called "no-mow" grasses vary in their regional makeup but often have a fair amount of fescue in them. I'm not sure how well that would do in Atlanta.Helpful Reply

Walter Reeves on May 03, 2012Last time I looked at a seed tag the no mow grass contained fine fescue and bluegrass....neither of which grow well in Atlanta.Helpful Reply

Val L on May 04, 2012maybe Zoisia grass? When I had it in NY, I would only need to mow it about once a month. It does turn brown in the winter and is extremely drought tolerantHelpful Reply

Rebecca D on May 04, 2012Zoysia is suppose to be great for hard-to- cover areas ! "Through heat & drought.Thrives in blistering heat. Zoysia farm Nurseries will ship at the best planting time for you" Sounds good to me! : )Helpful Reply

Pedini of Atlanta, LLC on May 04, 2012I have emerald zoysia now and it is pretty but it does need mowing. The type I am talking about is in the link here. http://buildipedia.com/go-green/green-home-design/no-mow-grassHelpful Reply

Rose B on May 04, 2012Check out the Mother Earth News Archives. There are several different varieties of 'no-mow' grasses, which, in fact, are ground creeping plants. They're nice, soft, & beautiful when cared for properly. Enjoy.Helpful Reply

Barbara Derosier on Apr 11, 2016Do NOT use zoysia grass in New England. Yes, it's lovely all summer long but quickly turns to look like hay the rest of the year. Also, the roots are invasive. Planting near a brick walk is like shooting yourself in the foot. Trust me on that please. You'll be spending our summers digging up EVERY brick to be able to pull the roots.Helpful Reply
