Factors to Consider Before Buying Marathon Grass

Marathon® provides a blend of durability and beauty. The Marathon Grass that you’ll get here is the outcome of multiple generations of intricate and selective breeding. Initially, the primary selection criteria for Marathon Sod were dark colors, disease resistance, dense crown, and fine leaf texture. Over the years, the processes have changed to provide the best quality turf to customers. Southland Sod leaves no stone unturned when it comes to providing top-notch quality Marathon Grass to  customers.

Don’t Forget The Basics 

Marathon Sod is made up of tiny living grass plants that require a minimum level of water, food, and sunlight for their survival. Because too little water can cause dehydration burns, a proper irrigation system is a must. Watering at the wrong time or too much water can lead to many diseases and problems in the grass. If you’re using too much fertilizer, that again can cause various infections and problems. If you are exposing it to less than four hours a day of direct sunlight, that might be too much shade for the grass and might lead to thinning and yellowing of the grass. Providing the right amount of food, water, and sunlight.

Damage Recovery 

The three different types of Marathon are distinct from each other and have a progressively slower growth rate. This difference is most obvious in terms of Marathon I and III. Marathon III will always grow slowly which results in fewer clippings and allows for  infrequent mowing. You must always think of the turf as self-renewing surface that has a growth rate according to the speed of the renewal process.  The slow growth  of the turf means it will need time to recover from injury and diseases.

Pet Burns 

no sod is immune to burning from dog urine or any other pet. Some people have fewer problems with urine burn but it’s not something that varies as per the lawn variety. Rather, it’s more related to the weather, temperature and soil moisture. Wet lawns will not burn as easily as dry lawns. There are hot, humid, and dry days that increase the likelihood of burning. If you talk about the winter dormant creeping turfs and their varieties like Zoysia, Bermuda, and St. Augustine, they will recover from the burn after they send runners to fill in the spots. It must be stated that Marathon doesn’t produce runners so it does not readily fill up  burned spots.
