Dickens Offers several different types of grass seed to fit the needs of most customers. From Tall Fescue and Shade blends for home lawns and parks to Bermuda and Perinnial Rye for Sports fields and golf courses, we should have what you need.
Most of our seed choices are in a blend. This helps us put together a better product. When we have 3 varieties in a blend one may handle drought well, one may be very disease tolerant and one variety may have the best color. We use these factors to build a great bag of grass seed.
Grass seed varieties are tested in a program called the NTEP trials. They test in several different states and this lets us know which varieties will work well in our area. We utilize the NTEP trials to pick our varieties every year.
