Estate Mix blends the finer texture and repairability of Blue Wave with the toughness and quick germination of Stadium Special. Since both varieties look similar, it gives you the best of both worlds!
Estate Mix™ Bluegrass
Estate Mix combines elite Kentucky bluegrass with sports turf-quality perennial ryegrass for quick establishment, durability, and aggressive repair of lawn damage.
In areas that expect a lot of traffic, like lawns with dogs and kids, we mix Blue Wave with Stadium Special perennial ryegrasses to create Estate Mix. Estate Mix gives you all the benefits of the aggressive self-repair abilities of Blue Wave and adds the quick starting, dark green, and fine texture of the same perennial ryegrasses that are used to repair golf course fairways and athletic fields. The dark green color of bluegrass with and drought tolerance, shade tolerance, and quick germination make this grass seed mix an excellent choice for dormant, spring, or fall overseeding.

No Fillers Here
Mother Nature has grown grass for a billion years without gimmicks—don’t be fooled by coatings or fillers that give you less seed for more money. At Grass Pad, we sell full-weight bags and recommend using Primera Field Conditioner or Peat Moss to cover the bare spots and a starter fertilizer like Golf Course Starter to feed the grass seed and help establish strong roots.
All Grass, No Weeds
When buying grass seed, always read the analysis label to ensure it contains zero weeds, zero other crops, and minimal inert matter—key indicators of turf-quality seed. Even tiny amounts of weed or crop seeds like annual rye or K-31 can ruin a manicured lawn, so choose seed cleaned by expert farmers with less than 2% inert content.
The Stadium Special perennial ryegrass in the Estate Mix will sprout within 3-7 days in ideal conditions. The Blue Wave bluegrass, however, will take 14-21 days to sprout so keep watering even when you see the first grass start to poke out of the ground.
Yes, Estate Mix will need to be watered during the hot and dry months.
Cool-season grasses like Estate Mix grow best in spring and fall, so that’s the perfect time to give them a boost. Uncle’s Idiot Proof Program takes the guesswork out of lawn care, keeping your grass fed and weeds under control all year long.
