winter – Murff Turf Farm

Warm 2017 So Far

We aren't typically quite this green this early but we've had an unseasonably warm Winter so far this year. We've really been green for almost the entire year it seems like. That's not to say ALL of our fields are bright green but they're getting there. Different fields are always a little bit different depending on the dirt, the rain, and the surrounding area (if it's surrounded by woods or something). All those can make a difference in how the grass weathers the seasons. Here are a couple of photos from one of our fields a couple of weeks ago on March 6th. Y'all take care out there and keep us in mind for all your sod needs! ...

Just a reminder that the winter months are a great time to plant grass. Yes, the grass you purchase will probably be yellow or brown because the warm-season grasses we grow in Texas turn dormant in the winter; but the grass is alive and healthy and can put down roots now and be ready to take off once the temperatures warm up. And since the grass is dormant and we usually receive regular rains in the winter months the newly planted grass requires MUCH less water from you to get established! Usually one good rain or watering from you right after you plant is all you will need to do this time of year. Here's a couple of pictures from grass we harvested on Thursday, January 31st. You can see it has a little green color to it but it doesn't have the normal bright green of spring. But it is healthy and ready to be planted. We sometimes get asked why...
