The Best Sod for Long Beach

The 5 Best Selling Sods for Long Beach

Lets talk best sod for Long Beach, home to California State University Long Beach, Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA), Aquarium of the Pacific and one of the most popular terminals to reach the Catalina Island. With a reported population of about 467,000 residents, Long Beach lies along California's Pacific Coast right in between Los Angeles, Anaheim, Santa Ana and Huntington Beach. The coastal climate of Long Beach offers annual temperatures generally between a low of 47 degrees and high of 89 degrees. Due to moderate temperatures, our most popular and suitable sods for Long Beach vary as the city does not require sod types that tolerate extreme temperatures.

The 5 Best Selling Sod and Grass Seed Types for Long Beach

The following list of the best selling sod and grass seed types for Long Beach is based on our 2021 sales trends and in-house product testing. The list of best sod types for Long Beach is in no particular order and while the sod that best suits your lawn may not be at the top of the list, it doesn't mean it's not the best fit for you! Similarly, there may be other grasses that may suit your needs not on this list. Please give us a call to further discuss the lawn that will best match your conditions. 

1. Kurapia Ground Cover

Our Kurapia ground cover has been a big hit in Long Beach the same way it has been everywhere else. Kurapia ground cover has come to shake things up in the lawn industry with significant water savings and unprecedented low maintenance. Kurapia ground cover is an alternative ground cover with growth low to the ground, giving it an uncanny resemblance to grass. Kurapia ground cover grows laterally, which means it doesn't have to be mowed because it grows side to side instead of up above the surface like traditional grass. The dense lateral growth also makes Kurapia ground cover significantly more disease-resistant. Most markedly, Kurapia ground cover is highly drought tolerant, with a deep rooting system that helps Kurapia ground cover save up to 60% on watering. Kurapia ground cover is an excellent choice for Long Beach because it loves full sun and thrives in moderate temperatures.

2. Shade Blend Sod

Shade Blend is an increasingly common sod for Long Beach because it tolerates shade while giving sod lawns many essential benefits. Our Shade Blend sod, a mix of 90 percent Tall Fescue and 10 percent fine fescues, gives all of the desired tall fescue benefits while giving lawns the shade tolerance of fine fescues. Some of the tall fescue sod benefits our Special Shady Mix give are drought tolerance, heat tolerance, disease resistance and wear-and-tear recovery from foot traffic. Our Shade Blend grass is ideal for areas with partial shade or areas with both full sun and shade, since our Shady Mix also loves full sun!

3. Delta 9010 Hybrid Tall Fescue with Bluegrass

Like Kurapia ground cover sod, our Delta Tall 9010 Fescue sod has been a big hit in Long Beach like it has everywhere else. Coastal regions are known for a culture of outdoor lifestyle, whether it's a swim at the beach or a bike ride along the coast. The Delta Tall 9010 Fescue sod mix is an all-around top choice because it offers tolerance to higher foot traffic, the highest grass drought tolerance, heat tolerance, disease resistance and some shade tolerance. Our Delta Hybrid Tall Fescue with Bluegrass is the perfect sod for a busy family who loves to enjoy outside play, events and sports activities.

4. Bolero Plus Dwarf Fescue with Bluegrass Sod

Bolero Plus sod is an excellent choice for Long Beach lawn owners who want similar benefits to our Delta Tall 9010 but also want a lower maintenance lawn. Our Bolero Plus sod, a dwarf fescue with bluegrass mix, provides lawn owners with drought tolerance, heat tolerance, disease resistance, and wear-and-tear recovery. But, the Bolero Plus sod has a slightly thinner and slower growing blade, making it lower maintenance than its tall fescue counter parts.

5. Latitude 36 Bermuda Grass

Our Latitude 36 is an excellent and popular sod for Long Beach, and you'll know why. Our Latitude 36 is a Bermuda grass, which means it goes dormant and yellows up during the winter. However, this "problem" is commonly solved by overseeding bermudagrass lawns with Perennial Rye Grass seed. Now that we have addressed that, our Latitude 36 Bermuda grass is so popular because it boasts the highest possible heat tolerance and above average drought tolerance. The Latitude 36 Bermuda grass is also disease resistant and has great wear-and-tear recovery, making it tolerant to foot traffic and making it a perfect sports turf or sod lawn for active families.
