🏫 Project: Custom Lawn Installation for a Residential New Build
🌱 Sod Variety: Zeon Zoysia and Rebel Supreme Fescue
📍 Location: Serenbe, Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia
Every successful lawn starts with choosing the right grass for the right space. This recent project in Serenbe, a wellness-focused community in Chattahoochee Hills on the edge of Atlanta, is a great example of how two different grass varieties can work together to create a beautiful, practical lawn for a residential property.
This installation took place at a new build in the middle of a pasture, where there was a significant amount of disturbed land and soil surrounding the home. On a property like this, establishing a lawn is an important step in turning a construction site into a polished, welcoming landscape.
For this project, the homeowner selected 16 pallets of Zeon Zoysia for the backyard and 10 pallets of Rebel Supreme Fescue for the front yard. Each variety was chosen for a specific reason based on sunlight, shade, appearance, and maintenance goals.
Photos from the project were shared by Keith Guthrie, who headed up his son Trevor’s project in Serenbe. The response to the finished installation says it all:
“Looks fantastic. Greenest Tall fescue they’ve ever seen in Serenbe. Five Star review. You have great drivers too. Looks better than the photos!”
One of the standout features of this project is how thoughtfully the lawn was planned. Instead of using one variety across the entire property, the installation was tailored to the growing conditions of each area.
The backyard was planted with Zeon Zoysia, a warm-season grass that was well suited for a space that receives sun most of the day. This made it a strong fit for the rear of the home, where full sunlight supports healthy growth and a dense, attractive look.
In the front yard, the homeowner chose Rebel Supreme Fescue alongside the driveway. That area has more shade, thanks to live oaks on both sides of the driveway, and the homeowner also wanted a lawn that offered easy maintenance and green color year-round in the most visible part of the property.
The backyard conditions made Zeon Zoysia a natural choice for this part of the project.
Benefits of using Zeon Zoysia in this space include:
- Excellent performance in sunny areas
- Dense, refined appearance
- Beautiful color and texture during the growing season
- A great option for backyard spaces designed for relaxing and entertaining
With the home sitting on a newly developed lot surrounded by open land, installing Zeon Zoysia in the backyard helped define the space and create a more finished, established look.
The front yard had a different set of needs, which is why Rebel Supreme Fescue was used there instead.
This area benefits from:
- Green color throughout the year
- Good performance in shadier conditions
- Easy maintenance in a prominent front-yard setting
- Strong curb appeal along the driveway and entry
Because the front yard is framed by live oaks and receives less direct sunlight, Rebel Supreme Fescue made sense both visually and practically. It gave the homeowner the year-round green look they wanted while fitting the conditions around the entrance to the home.
New construction projects often leave behind bare ground, uneven surfaces, and heavily disturbed soil. That was part of the challenge on this Serenbe property, where the home was built in the middle of what had been open pasture.
Installing grass in a setting like this does more than improve appearance. It helps turn a rough, disturbed site into a usable outdoor space and gives the property a much more complete finish. In this case, using two carefully selected varieties helped bring order, color, and purpose to very different parts of the lawn.
This Serenbe project is a great example of what sets NG Turf apart. A beautiful finished lawn starts with selecting the right grass for the space, but it also depends on quality, reliability, and customer service throughout the entire process.
NG Turf is known for its commitment to total customer satisfaction, certified sod varieties, and dependable availability when customers need it most.

Keith Guthrie’s feedback captured both the quality of the grass and the overall impression of the project. That kind of result reflects the NG Turf difference: thoughtful recommendations, premium varieties, and a team that takes pride in helping every project look its best.
This project shows how using the right grass in the right place can make a major difference. By choosing Zeon Zoysia for the sunny backyard and Rebel Supreme Fescue for the shadier front yard, the homeowner created a lawn plan that matched the conditions of the property and the goals for each space.
The result is a beautiful lawn that looks established, fits the character of the home, and adds a finished touch to a newly built property surrounded by open land.
