Reveille (Sod) Grass

Reveille is an F1 hybrid of Kentucky and Texas Bluegrass that looks and feels just like Kentucky Bluegrass, but uses up to 50% less water (depending on soil prep) and requires about half the mowing. Like KB, it has good heat, cold and shade tolerance and is resistant to disease and insects. Because of its low maintenance requirements, exceptional beauty and hardiness, Reveille is ideal for residential or commercial use.

Application

Reveille is ideal for both residential and commercial lawns because of its beauty, exceptional hardiness and reparability. It can also be used for recreational areas like golf courses and athletic fields.

COLOR & TEXTURE

Medium to dark blue-green color. Medium-fine blades with high density and excellent leaf uniformity.

SOIL TYPE

Grows well in all types, from heavy clay to sandy soils. Displays an above average tolerance to acidic and alkaline soils.

MOWING

Use a rotary or reel mower, cutting to a height of 1.5" to 2.5". Frequency is once every 10 to 14 days in the warmer seasons and once every 14 to 21 days in the fall.

WATERING

Just like other bluegrasses, newly planted Reveille turf should be watered daily and soaked thoroughly to a depth of 3 inches for the first 10 to 14 days to avoid dry out. After that initial period, water deeply and infrequently whenever grass is showing signs of dehydration. Watering deeply will help the roots grow up to 23 inches deep (as opposed to the 4-6 inches of other grasses). Deepening the root system increases the grass's drought tolerance because it has more soil to draw moisture from. A Colorado State University Study revealed that Reveille went 38 days without water before showing any signs of stress
