At Mountain View Seeds we utilize the newest generation Kentucky Bluegrass to ensure your lawn has the deep green and thick turf you are looking for. We've also included a small percentage of Perennial Ryegrass to aid in ground cover and to out-compete weeds during establishment, as well as some Creeping Red Fescue to help provide better shade tolerance. This mix is sure to thrive in the Northeast's harsh climate and produce a dark green lawn without the need for extra inputs that can be harmful to the environment. At Mountain View Seeds… We believe in Better.

Northeast Mix
A-LIST grasses are scientifically tested at tier one research institutions to ensure a higher quality turfgrass lawn with lower inputs. Research trials look at reducing all inputs to ensure an A-LIST grass variety will perform at its bests when conditions are the worst. With many areas of the country facing restrictions ranging from water to reduced chemical and nutrient applications, the need for improved varieties to withstand more extreme conditions is crucial. The advances in turfgrass breeding varieties have produced turfgrasses varieties that can maintain a darker lawn longer at the same time being more sustainable.
