Hancock's Turf Type Tall Fescue grass seed is a high density, dark green and excellent choice for home lawns, parks, playgrounds and turf applications. Hancock Seed Co. hand selected the best varieties to use in our custom fescue blend.
Hancock's Turf Type Tall Fescue is one of the darkest-green tall fescues available. This 3-way blend performs well under both high and low maintenance, and in the extreme environments of both the southeast and the desert southwest.
The hot and dry conditions of late summer are tough on turf. Add shade, poor soil and traffic to the equation, and most grasses don't stand a chance. Hancock's Turf Type Tall Fescue blend is a persistent, endophyte-enhanced variety that thrives in adverse summer conditions. Its dark green color, medium leaf texture and high disease resistance are uncompromised by heat, shade, low fertility soil, high salt conditions, low mowing and high traffic.
This versatile turf-type fescue blend has high resistance to brown patch and stem rust. It also has a dwarf growth habit for reduced mowing and a uniform appearance.
The Hancock's Turf Type Tall Fescue blend contains the following varieties but may be subject to change depending on availability.
- Escalade Tall Fescue
- Arica Tall Fescue
- Arid 3 Tall Fescue
Adaptation
Hancock's Turf Type Tall Fescue blend is adapted though the cool season turfgrass areas in the north, though the transition zone, into the southeast and southwest. This blend is adaptable to a diverse range of soil types and will tolerate a pH range of 5.5 to 7.5. It is recommended for home lawns, golf course roughs, parks and playgrounds, sports fields, and other low maintenance areas where top-quality tall fescue is desired. It is also used as a quality sod grass. Hancock's Fescue can be combined with other improved varieties of turf-type tall fescues and may also be mixed with 5-10% Kentucky Bluegrass.
Remove all old vegetation to prepare a clean seedbed by means of a rake. Drag or rake the area to both loosen and level any hard or uneven spots if needed. Apply a slow-release starter fertilizer at the recommended rate of 5 lbs. Per 1,000 sq. ft. for lawns. Fertilize your lawn three times a year for best results.
Broadcast seed at recommended rate. Drag, rake or roll lightly to cover the seed, no more than 1/4 in. below surface. If you are overseeding an existing lawn or pasture, it is essential to mow existing grass low and incorporate seed 1/4 in. into the soil for best results. Apply lawn irrigation for approximately 30 minutes every evening until soil is damp, and germination has occurred. Irrigate newly-seeded lawns every other day until the grass reaches 6 inches, then water recommended 3 times a week, if needed.
Hancock's Turf Type Tall Fescue can tolerate mowing heights as low as 1 in., but a 1.5 - 3 in. mowing height is recommended.

United StatesSill rating this 5 stars cause my experience thus far has been fine and germination overall has been good .I find it to be a great value over the big box stores junk. With that said , my only gripe is this .... I ordered 2-50lb bags of the Hancock TTTF and they sent me DLF pickseed, which was fine . I found myself short on seed so I placed another order for one 50lb bag and they sent me League Master . Each had their own trifecta of seed blends. I’m no pro but someone who wants consistency with specific seed species may find that really bothersome. At the end of the day , it’s just grass. I do have some color inconsistencies in the yard as my assumption is because of the different varieties of seed. Just wish that part of it was “better”. Seems like if you order the Hancock TTTF they send you what they’re selling instock at the time as their house brand . It won’t keep my from ordering in the future but will keep in mind to try and order what I need all at once so I’m able to get all matching bags within that batch . I did like the DLF pickseed over the League master in case it matters to someone . Thanks Hancock , I appreciate the sales / discounts you offer and the quality of product is good . Cheers !
Happy to hear you are having good results with the Hancock's Turf Type tall fescue. As far as different varieties that sometimes happens when one lot sells out and those particular varieties may not be available in the next lot. We do use other farmers seed when it is a seed we do not harvest ourselves. But you can always call us and we will be happy to let you know which varieties are in the current lot. Thank you for your review!
