Professional-Grade Tall Fescue for the Transition Zone.

LESCO All Pro Transition Blend is designed for homeowners in the transition zone who want a dense, dark green tall fescue lawn that can handle summer heat and winter cold.

This blend is commonly used for new lawn installations, overseeding thin turf, and repairing bare areas in regions where both heat and cold stress are factors.


What to Expect

  • Dark green color
  • Medium-to-fine leaf texture
  • Good heat tolerance for transition climates
  • Strong drought resistance due to deep root structure
  • Solid disease resistance to brown patch and leaf spot

Tall fescue performs well in full sun and partial shade, making it a versatile option for most residential lawns.


Is This the Right Seed for You?

This blend is ideal if you:

  • Live in the transition zone (NC, VA, TN, KY, MO, etc.)
  • Need to repair or thicken an existing tall fescue lawn
  • Want improved heat tolerance over traditional cool-season grasses
  • Prefer lower watering requirements once established

It is not ideal for southern warm-season lawns (Bermuda, Zoysia, St. Augustine).


Seeding Rates

New Lawn Installation:

Aeration & Overseeding:

  • 4–6 lbs per 1,000 sq ft depending on turf density
  • Core aerate before overseeding for best seed-to-soil contact
  • Apply starter fertilizer at time of seeding

Germination & Establishment

  • Germinates in 7–14 days under proper moisture
  • Keep soil consistently moist during establishment
  • First mowing typically occurs at 3–4 inches

Before You Seed

Do not apply pre-emergent before or after seeding. Products containing prodiamine will prevent grass seed from germinating.

Frequently Asked

What is the best seeding rate for new lawns vs overseeding?

For new lawns, apply 8–10 lb per 1,000 sq ft to ensure thick, even coverage. For overseeding existing lawns, apply 4–6 lb per 1,000 sq ft, ideally paired with core aeration for best results.

How fast does it germinate?

Lesco All Pro TransitionBlend typically germinates in 6–10 days under ideal conditions, with most lawns showing growth within 7–14 days. new seed must be topdressed with peatmoss for best results.

What climate and light conditions are ideal?

This blend is designed for the transition zone, performing well in areas with hot summers and cold winters. It thrives in full sun to moderate shade and offers strong resistance to heat, drought, and foot traffic.

Does it resist pests and disease?

Yes, the blend includes endophyte-enhanced tall fescue varieties that help deter surface-feeding insects. It also shows strong resistance to common lawn diseases like brown patch and leaf spot.

Do I need special watering or fertilizer?

Keep the soil consistently moist until germination and establishment. Use a starter fertilizer at seeding—ideally a formula like 18-24-12 or 15-20-10—to encourage strong root development and faster growth.

When is the optimal time to seed?

The best times to seed are fall and spring, especially in the transition zone. Avoid using pre-emergent herbicides near seeding time, as they can prevent germination. Always ensure the soil is well-prepared before seeding.
