About Product Overview

Kentucky 31 has been a go-to tall fescue for generations because it holds up when conditions don't cooperate. This Scotts mix is built for lawns that see real sun and real heat, and it doesn't demand babysitting to look decent. Tall fescue roots run deep, which is part of why this grass type shrugs off dry spells and traffic that would thin out a more delicate lawn.

Use it for a full lawn seeding on a smaller property, patching bare or worn spots, or overseeding an existing tall fescue lawn to thicken it up. It handles full sun and light shade, so you're not stuck babysitting sun/shade boundaries in the yard, and it's rated for use across all regions and multiple seasons, so timing your project is more flexible.

  • Grass type: Kentucky 31 tall fescue
  • Product type: grass seed mix, bagged
  • Exposure: full sun to light shade
  • Heat tolerant
  • Suited to small lawns under 4,000 sq ft
  • Multi-season application, all regions, made in the USA

Go ahead. Check.

You're going to open the other tab. Everybody does. We'd rather say so than pretend otherwise — so open it. We'll wait.

When you're over there, check four things before you click buy.

01

Who's actually selling it

The brand name is on the listing. A different company is in the seller field. Those aren't the same thing, and the second one is who you're buying from.

02

Whether the warranty survives

Most manufacturers only honor a warranty when the unit came through an authorized dealer. We're authorized for Scotts. A third-party marketplace seller usually isn't.

03

Where the box came from

Gray-market stock, returns repackaged as new, and outright fakes move through marketplaces constantly. It all looks identical in the photo. It stops looking identical when it fails.

04

Who you call when it breaks

Ours is a phone number with a person behind it who has held this product. M–F, 6 AM – 5 PM Pacific. (866) 469-8556

We're not always the cheapest.

Sometimes you'll find it for less. Sometimes you'll find it for more. On a lot of brands the number is identical everywhere it's sold legitimately — the manufacturer sets a minimum advertised price and every authorized dealer holds it. When a price sits well under that, it's worth asking why before it's worth celebrating.

Shop Local · Support Independent

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.
