Dog Tuff™ grass

Dog Tuff™ grass is a fabulous, low-water lawn grass for high traffic areas. It's named for its exceptional durability in yards with dogs. A sterile hybrid African form that spreads via runners, this grass is similar to American buffalo grass, but it's more resilient to wear and tear. Once established, it is highly weed-resistant, deep rooted and provides a soft, cushioned feel for bare feet. A warm-season grass, Dog Tuff™ turns green in late spring and goes dormant in mid-autumn. Drought tolerant, resistant to dog urine, and useful for erosion control.
