How durable is mow free or no mow grass?

This depends on what you compare durable to. Can mow free be walked on daily as a path area if mowed yes, now can it take the same traffic while 12-18" long no.

If the lawn is maintained as a normal lawn, you should be able to use it with light foot traffic and children. If the lawn is grown out, you cannot expect kids to play in it without some damage due to the sheer amount of force applied to such a delicate blade.

  • Hello Tim, Kurapia sod is California’s newest ground cover and one of the oldest. It is drought tolerant and can tolerate some shade and foot traffic. Kurapia sod needs up to 60% less water than cool-season turfgrasses. Kurapia does not need to be mowed for aesthetic reasons, but it can be desired. Kurapias can be left to grow in their natural state, making them a low-maintenance option. Here is one of our blogs about Kurapia. Please click the link below:

  • We installed this grass on my property in San Diego, and I’ve been blown away by the results. This grass is fine fescue with low maintenance requirements. I like how dense the grass is; it fills in my poor spots and eliminates the need to worry about weeds.

  • I’ve been using this product for years, and I’m thrilled with the quality. I’ve tried many other brands, but none compares to this one. It’s durable, low maintenance, and a good value for the money. It’s great for a wide range of applications.

  • The fact that Mow Free Grass can stay green all year and it tolerates drought, moderate foot traffic, and weeds. This fescue will save you time and money.
