Serving customers throughout the Lubbock area, Amarillo area, West Texas, the Texas Panhandle, Eastern New Mexico, and the Oklahoma Panhandle, we offer cool-season grasses suited for the unique temperatures, moisture conditions, and management needs of the High Plains.
Annual Ryegrass
Annual ryegrass is one of the most versatile cool-season grasses available. Its rapid establishment and strong cool-weather growth make it a popular option for winter grazing, pasture, lawn overseeding, erosion control, and temporary ground cover.
Perennial Ryegrass
Perennial ryegrass is valued for its quick establishment, fine texture, and attractive appearance. It is commonly used for turf, winter overseeding, and other applications where dense, high-quality cool-season growth is desired.
Fescue Grass Seed
Fescue provides dependable cool-season growth and can be used for lawns, turf, pasture, and other applications where growing conditions are appropriate. We carry fescue options for customers looking for durable grass with good cool-weather performance.
Winter Grazing Grass
Cool-season grasses can provide valuable forage when summer pastures have gone dormant. Annual ryegrass and other adapted grasses can help extend the grazing season and provide quality forage for cattle, horses, sheep, goats, and other livestock.
Cool Season Pasture Grass
Adding cool-season grasses to a forage program can help fill seasonal gaps in pasture production. Depending on your location and management system, these grasses can be planted alone or incorporated into a broader forage program with small grains and other cool-season crops.
Winter Lawn Overseeding
Cool-season grasses are commonly used to provide temporary green color when warm-season lawns such as Bermudagrass enter winter dormancy. Ryegrass is particularly popular for overseeding lawns, commercial properties, athletic fields, and other maintained turf.
Cool Season Turf Grass
From residential lawns to athletic and commercial turf, cool-season grasses provide options for customers seeking active growth during cooler weather. Selecting the right variety depends on traffic, appearance, irrigation, mowing practices, and how long you want the stand to remain productive.
Erosion Control & Ground Cover
Rapid establishment makes many cool-season grasses useful for protecting exposed soil. Temporary grass cover can help reduce erosion, stabilize disturbed areas, and protect the soil while a permanent planting or other vegetation becomes established.
