California's Top 5 Drought-Tolerant Lawns

California's Top 5 Drought-Tolerant Lawns

Welcome to Sod and Seed, Inc., home of California's largest sod selection, always fresh from the farm, never held in stock! Today we'll be going over California's top 5 drought-tolerant lawn options. Although it seems California is officially no longer in a drought, opting for drought-tolerant lawn options is still a wise choice. Water is a dwindling natural resource so water conservation should continue to be a priority. In addition to supporting water conservation, drought-tolerant lawns also provide other benefits like low-maintenance and cost-efficiency. We'll share some information for our best-selling lawn options including mulch ground cover, Frog Fruit ground cover, Native Bentgrass, RTF sod and TIFTUF hybrid Bermuda grass. 

Mulch Ground Cover

Mulch ground covers are an easy, practical, convenient and eco-friendly option for drought-tolerant lawns. Mulch comes in many shapes, sizes, colors, and styles. Shop our full selection at www.lawndelivery.com. 

Frog Fruit Ground Cover

Frog fruit ground cover is a native plant used for gardens and lawns. The native frog fruit offers many benefits such as drought-tolerance, saving up to 50% or more on watering and never needing to be mowed. Frog fruit ground cover also blooms miniature white flowers between May and October. Since frog fruit is a native plant, frog fruit adapts to its environment, so frog fruit ground cover transitions into a deep, dark green color during winter. 

Native Grasses

Native grasses are an excellent way to keep a traditional sod lawn look and cut watering in half. Native grasses save 50% on watering and have natural adaptations to the environment. Our Native Bentgrass sod is our top selling native grass, perhaps because it is versatile in aesthetic and has more shade tolerance than most other grasses. Our native bentgrass can be grown out for a meadow like look or be kept at a lower mowing height. 

RTF Sod

RTF sod, or rhizomatous tall fescue sod, offers 30% water savings without sacrificing the look and feel of a traditional sod lawn. In addition to improved water savings, our RTF sod is the only fescue that will self heal when damaged. RTF sod is also a great choice for shady or sun and shade areas as it can receive as little as 4 hours of sun per day while most other traditional grasses require 6-7 hours of sun per day. 

Bermuda Grass

Hybrid Bermudagrass options are an excellent way to decrease water usage and our TIFTUF sod is the newest and best hybrid bermuda grass on the market right now. Our TIFTUF hybrid bermuda grass sod has improved shade tolerance and a shorter dormancy period. During the winter, a hybrid bermuda grass lawn can offer 100% water savings when not overseeded with rye grass seed.
