FAQ: How much will one gallon of Endurant cover?
Typically one gallon of Endurant, particularly one of the ultra concentrates, will cover 5,000 to 7,000 square feet of dormant grass. The ultra concentrates in the Endurant line include Endurant Fairway, Endurant Premium and Endurant Perennial Rye. As the labels for these colorants suggest, one gallon can cover up to 10,000 square feet. This is the case when grass still has some chlorophyll, is kept at a short height and is applied optimally. Optimal application includes using recommended mix rates, applying with efficient equipment and using the best nozzles (when applicable).
