NASHVILLE BUILDER CHOOSES TIFTUF FOR NEW NEIGHBORHOOD T
op national home builder Beazer Homes has selected TifTuf bermudagrass as the turfgrass for the Herrington neighborhood in the Nashville market. This selection comes as a result of the need for not only attractive lawns, but also exceptional drought tolerance. Current drought conditions and water restrictions in the area highlight the need for a highperforming turf. TifTuf bermudagrass was developed by the University of Georgia’s renowned turf breeding program and was released in 2016. Since then, it has been quickly adopted by turfgrass managers from sports turf to golf courses and home lawns to commercial spaces. TifTuf requires 50% less water than fescue and 38% less water than other Bermuda grasses. This will save millions of gallons of water for property owners and is a sustainable choice for the environment. Beazer Homes is the first builder in the Nashville area to make this selection for an entire neighborhood. Homeowners are sure to appreciate the fall color retention, excellent wear tolerance and reduced irrigation needs provided by TifTuf. TifTuf is a certified turfgrass variety and can only be grown by licensed sod farms to ensure consistent top-notch performance and appearance. BuySod is the licensed sod grower providing TifTuf to Beazer Homes and the Herrington neighborhood.
