RTF Tall Fescue

Rhizomatous Tall Fescue turf (RTF) is the premium “green all year” turf for the Southern States that provides a deep emerald green lawn that is beautiful to look at and soft underfoot. RTF has underground rhizomes that enables the lawn to moderately repair itself over time and cover bare spots. RTF tall fescue establishes very quickly, therefore, reducing watering needs when compared to other fescue types.

Preparation & Installation

kikuyu grassBefore your RTF Tall Fescue turf goes down, ensure you get rid of any weeds, old turf, or debris on your chosen site. RTF Tall Fescue stays green all year round and grows well in full sun or dappled shade. A finished soil level of 10-15mm below the pathway is recommended. This turf is a great choice for cooler Victorian climates, and better yet can be installed all year round with great results!

*Remember that turf is highly perishable and needs to be installed the day that it is delivered

Mowing

Being a fescue turf, you can mow RTF anywhere between 35-50mm and might be doing so fairly often in the warmer months. Winter slows the growing down and requires less time on the mower, if you do need to give your turf a trim in the cooler months be sure to cut it at the taller end of the recommended mowing length.

Watering

RTF Tall Fescue requires extra watering throughout the warmer months as it is a cool-season turf variety. However, when compared to other cool-season turf varieties it outperforms its competitors, making it a great option for the southern states of Australia that experience cold frosty winters and hot summers.

Seasonal Maintenance & Fertilising

RTF Tall Fescue is able to handle the cool Victorian temperatures during the winter months and tolerates heavy frosts. Whilst RTF is still actively growing during the cold months, you won’t need to water as much in the winter whilst still enjoying a deep green lawn.
