I've seen the ads for very expensive "eco lawns" and have avoided it just for the cost.

I'm not sure regarding roots - great question. Hi Lyn -

Eco-lawn will grow in shady or sunny conditions. I’m not sure regarding roots - great question.

We live surrounded by our neighbors' beautiful but shadey and rooty oak trees. We can't seem to get sod of any sort to grow consistently. I love this idea, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I wonder if it's really that eco-friendly. Granted, I'm all for stopping our CO2 emissions..

A fescue blend is more drought tolerant and requires less mowing. The roots of a grass will grow very deep if the soil has not been nuked with lots of chemicals that have killed the microorganisms.

This was a lot cheaper, but obivously the mixes of the fescues were not the same as "eco-lawn" as this remains proprietary. While it is true the grass remained browner later in the summer I can live with it. However, I had to cut my backyard(100 % fescue) 2 times this summer. This is a real boon as I only have a push mower. I “cheated” and got the fescue seeds from a seed distributor.
