Establishing Palisades Turfgrass
Palisades can be established as sprigs, plugs, or as solid sod.
Fertilizing & Water
Palisades will require between 3-4 pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet per year for a highly maintained turf, to a more modest 1-1/2 - 3 pounds of nitrogen for a high quality, low maintenance turf.
Palisades is classified as having low irrigation needs, requiring one to two deep irrigations per month during dry periods. Higher irrigation frequency will provide excellent quality turf, but may also demand additional fertilization.
Irrigation water should be supplied providing for deep penetration with infrequent application to maximize plant performance and nutrient efficiency.
Maintenance
When maintained as a golf course fairway or sports field, Palisades will require two weekly mowings with a reel mower at heights ranging from 1/2" to 7/8".
When utilized for home lawns, the rotary mower will provide a quality turf with weekly mowings.
Quality Assurance
We ensure our quality with the use of registered sprigs provided by New Life Turf. Both Cavalier and Palisades are grown on Methyl Bromide Fumigated soils and are Certified by Clemson University’s Department Of Plant Industry.
