"You might be a redneck if...you think people with grass in their yards are uppity." - Foxworthy..........This message for lawn geeks only: Check out the links to the University of Illinois Turfgrass Dept on the bottom of the page..........



Timp Landscaping installs both sodded and seeded lawns. Below you will find a list of some of the grass seed mixes we typically use along with their advantages and maintenance requirements. Custom mixes are also available. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.



SOD

The sod we use is a combination of three to five bluegrasses (the exact mix will change somewhat each growing season as better strains become available).



MADISON PARKS LAWN SEED MIX

The Madison Parks lawn is a deep green color with very fine grass blades (easier on which to walk barefoot). For this lawn to look its best, regular weed control, fertilization and occasional watering will be required.

• Creeping Red Fescue - 24.5%

• Dimension Perennial Ryegrass - 24.5%

• Geronimo Kentucky Bluegrass - 14.7%

• Merit Kentucky Bluegrass - 4.9%

• Sophia Kentucky Bluegrass - 4.9%

• Park Kentucky Bluegrass - 4.9%



EARTH CARPET LAWN SEED MIX
