TURF VARIETIES

Celebration Bermuda GrassCelebration Bermudagrass
Celebration’s extremely dark, bluish color puts it in a class all by itself. Celebration has the unique combination of rapid lateral growth and slower vertical growth. Celebration recovers quickly from wear, but still requires 30-50% less mowing than other turfgrasses. Celebration also has excellent sod strength which means easier handling and better looking installations. Celebration can be mowed with a sharp rotary mower or a reel mower.
