Celebration Bermudagrass

 

 

Aesthetically Superior, Commercially Viable

 

Commercial applications demand durable, versatile and aesthetically appealing turfgrasses. The right turfgrass enhances a commercial property’s value, and can reduce long-term maintenance costs.

Any of our varieties is suitable for commercial applications; with the caveat, of course, that any landscape should be thoroughly evaluated for its climatic conditions and other application needs before turfgrass is selected and installed.

Consider these varieties when you are looking for practical solutions to small- and large-scale commercial needs.

Celebration Bermudagrass – Unique blue-green color and soft texture create a smooth finish, but it is superlative performance qualities that suit Celebration for high traffic areas. Celebration has rapid lateral growth, and quickly covers over wear and other damage. It is an extremely durable turfgrass that will take more wear and tear than other selections, including other bermudagrasses. Celebration will tolerate more shade than other bermudas, and needs less maintenance.

Discovery Bermudagrass - Many businesses would benefit from a grass you only needed to mow once a month.  That is Discovery's hallmark.  With extremely slow vertical growth, Discovery allows companies to reduce mowing up to 75%!  Discovery has good cold tolerance and features a unique, dark blue-green shade.  

EMPIRE Turf– This versatile grass is a standout in commercial areas, as well as in large home developments, municipal parks and playgrounds. EMPIRE has been successfully specified for roadsides and highway medians, due to its hardiness and reduced maintenance requirements. EMPIRE’s lush green color and softer zoysiagrass texture make it appealing. However, it is EMPIRE’s improved weed, insect and disease resistance, as well as its lower needs for water and other inputs that make it most viable for the long-term. As one landscape manager for a large residential/commercial development said: “I fell in love with the look and then I was really impressed with the performance.”

Geo Zoysia - Geo is a fine-bladed zoysia variety that will have customers wanting to take off their shoes and play in the grass.  And because Geo features exceptional wear and traffic tolerance, encourage them to do just that.  Geo is a slow-grower vertically and does well in shady areas.    

 Palmetto St. Augustine – Choose Palmetto for dark emerald green color, lower maintenance needs, and adaptability. Palmetto will grow in sand, sandy loam, clay or muck. This improved St. Augustine offers a high degree of shade tolerance, and can get by with as few as 3-4 hours of sunlight each day; which makes it a viable selection for properties with shady areas.

Sapphire St. Augustine – Sapphire is distinguished by unique blue green color and fine-bladed texture that is unique for a St. Aug. It grows in rapidly, and quickly covers over damage. For its resilience and soft texture, Sapphire is called “The only fine-bladed, high performance St. Augustine in the world.”

Captiva St. Augustine - Captiva is an ideal turfgrass for commercial properties because of its slow vertical growth.  Captiva is 1/3 slower growing than some St. Augustine varieties.  Added to that, Captiva has resistance to the Southern Chinch Bug which can devestate St. Augustine lawns.

Bella Bluegrass - Bella is a vegetative bluegrass that isn't seeded but instead, laid as sod or sprigged into a lawn.  Its dwarf features make it a viable "no-mow" option for commercial sites as it will only grow to about four inches in height.  Bella is now being used for "Green" roofs across the country.

Regenerating Perennial Ryegrass (RPR) - Unique to other ryegrass varieties is RPR.  RPR features pseudo-stolons that help spread this "traffic tough" turfgrass.  RPR displays a deep green color and has good insect and disease resistance.

Santee Centipede - Santee is a centipedegrass variety that is quick to recover from damage caused from heavy traffic due to its rapid lateral growth.  Santee's massive root system promotes good cold and drought tolerance and will keep your commercial property looking at its tip-top best.



Covington Centipede - Covington is a centipede variety with a difference; it is all green!  Unlike other centipedes with purple pigmentation in the seed heads and runners, Covington exhibits a uniform green appearance.  And it will keep looking lush and green into the cooler months because of its outstanding fall color retention.
