Description
Trophy Plus is a tall fescue blend tailored for residential lawns, parks, and high-traffic areas like play spaces. It excels in both sun and partial shade, with deep roots that enhance drought tolerance and durability, making it ideal for families and pets. Its low water needs and minimal fertilization requirements ensure a lush, green lawn with little upkeep. The dense blend of dwarf turf-type tall fescues provides excellent wear tolerance, perfect for backyards and playgrounds.
With over 80% endophyte levels, Trophy Plus offers superior resistance to pests such as white grub worms, sod webworms, and chinch bugs, as well as brown patch disease, ensuring a healthy lawn with improved stress tolerance. It thrives in tough conditions, including high pH soils, maintaining its dark green color and dense growth in Southern Nevada’s challenging climate. Regular mowing to remove one-third of the leaf blade and fertilization every 45 days in spring and fall keep it vibrant, with a high-nitrogen fertilizer recommended in late fall for winter color.
Its rhizomatous qualities allow Trophy Plus to fill in bare spots, enhancing recovery from heavy use. This sod is particularly suited for the high desert conditions of Las Vegas, as it is grown locally, ensuring adaptability. For pet owners, combining Trophy Plus with Micro Clover can mitigate pet urine damage, offering a resilient, low-maintenance lawn option.

Fertilizing Guidelines
Before laying any sod, apply 16-20-0 or 15-15-15 fertilizer to the soil. Regular fertilization supports growth, with Bermuda grasses needing it during active seasons and tall fescue requiring year-round care for green color.
