Stover Pro Sportsfield Elite

Pro Sportsfield Elite
Professional Turfgrass Mixture

An improved version of our popular "Pro Sportsfield", the "Elite" is a mixture of improved perennial ryegrasses with "Del Sol" bermudagrass. These grasses provide the best combination of quick establishment, durability and attractiveness in all seasons. It will withstand low mowing and develop into a dense turf able to withstand regular sportsfield uses. The use of "Del Sol" provides an even denser, finer turf.
