How to install | Grass Seed Mat | Lawn Grass | Wildflowers

Application manual

For optimum growth, turfgrass needs just four things (in the proper balance) to grow…sunlight, air, water and nutrients.

Reduce any of these, or provide too much of any one, and the grass may die or simply suffer. In the right proportions, the grass will flourish, providing not only beauty to the landscape, but also a clean and safe place to play. It has many benefits to the environment.

Soil preparation

Proper soil preparation lays the foundation for the lawn area.

Sowing | Lay a grass mat

Once the seedbed is level and loose, the grass seed carpet can be laid.

Overseeding

Your key performance criteria are the most important when choosing for overseeding.

Irrigation

Seeds need water, air and appropriate temperature to germinate and establish.

Nutrition

Good fertilization is necessary for perfect grass cover.

Mowing

Mowing determines the appearance of the lawn, so a good mowing programme is important.

Aeration

Soil compaction caused by wear can have a negative effect on our turf.

Stress effects of shade turf

Shaded lawns are subject to more stress than lawns that are grown in full sunlight.

Maintenance after sowing

A newly laid lawn should not be allowed to dry out over the first couple of weeks.

Once established, you should first mow your turf when it has grown between 8-9cm high remembering never to mow more than 4cm at the first time of the leaf.

We also recommend using a fertiliser to keep your lawn green and healthy.

Our seeds will begin to grow in 5 to 7 days (14 to 21 days for Kikuyu Grass).

For new grass you want to be sure the grass has reached at least 8 – 9 cm in height, if not more, before cutting for the first time.

This should take about 3 weeks, so be patient! When you are able to cut for the first time, you will want to make sure you follow good cutting techniques and mow high.

If you have some doubt, please read our FAQ, TURFquick products must be watered always after laying.

Can You Lay Turfquick Grass on Natural Grass

You might be wondering if you can just lay down our grass on top of natural grass. Simply put, the answer is, no. However, just like any shortcut, there are pros and cons.

Guide to prepare garden soil for your lawn, a step-by-step guide.

1. Remove existing vegetation

2. Ground preparation

3. Water

4. Roll out

1. Dig the soil over to a depth of 20-25cm, or remove stones and unwanted vegetation, free from weeds, moss or other debris.

2. Prepare the soil properly with a tiller. Rake the surface porous. Match and shape the terrain thoroughly. The TURFquick® planting textile or fabric will adapt to it once watered and will follow the shapes you have chosen.

We can recommend that you can add at least 15 cm to 20 cm of black dirt soil which can then be packed with a cylinder roller. Before you roll out Turfquick make sure there is a flat surface. This will prevent the soil from sinking or tilting, for example, in heavy rain or footprints. If you do a good foundation work then it will be a top result.

3. Rake the area to get a level seedbed. Water the day before you are going to install your lawn rollers. After that, the lawn must be watered every day until rooting.

4. Roll out. Use scissors or a knife to cut any size. Remember that the TURFquick® planting is very thin and flexible so that it can be applied not only in flat surfaces but also in slopes and curved lands. Stretch the TURFquick® planting textile over the surface of the prepared soil and make sure it is stretched, like a tablecloth on a table, for example.

8. Mow the lawn

5. Cover a little with soil between 0.5 to 1 cm maximum so that nutrients bind better and the soil retains moisture more easily.

Please do not cover with more than 1 cm of soil.

For fastest establishment, water a little every day until the grass has germinated and started to grow. It takes about three weeks.

6. Now the seeds and soil must be kept moist for 2-3 weeks for the seeds to germinate and take root.

Then you should water in the morning and evening. Seeds grass needs moisture to germinate.

The roots die if they dry out after they have started to germinate but they have not had time to get roots.

Expect to water a few times a day for the first 2-3 weeks. Don’t water too much each time, the soil only needs to be moist a couple of centimeters down ( 3-5 cm).

Keep the surface moist until the grass has become about 5 cm high.

7. Now the seeds and soil must be kept moist for 2-3 weeks for the seeds to germinate and take root. Then you should water in the morning and evening. Seeds grass needs moisture to germinate.

Keep the surface moist until the grass has become about 5 cm high.

Try inserting the planting textile about 2-3 centimeters between each piece, so you don’t leave space between them. If necessary, keep the planting textile in place with biodegradable stakes, which can be purchased in our store.

8. Mow the first time when the grass has grown 8-9 cm long. Do not cut shorter than 4 cm the first time.

Fertilise!!! apply organic fertiliser 20 days after planting the grass.

Use a pair of scissors to cut and adapt the planting textile to the shape of the ground on which it is being applied. If there are trees, plants, edges, figures and more, just cut the planting textile adapting it to the existing elements.

Please do not cover it with more than 1 cm of soil.

9. Water the Turfquick® planting textile abundantly until it soaks. This is necessary so that it adapts to the terrain and remains subject to it. And that’s it! Continue watering daily ( three times a day), and in a 1 to 2 weeks, you will observe the first outbreaks.

10. From now on you should take care of the lawn in a traditional way, in other words, watering, fertilizing and cutting it.

11. Congratulations on a very good investment! You have acquired a very beautiful and high-quality lawn that will give you many satisfactions.

12. And do not throw away the leftovers that are left over! You can store them in a cool and dry place, in a closed bag for at least 2 years. Thus, you can use them to repair the grass surface in case of damage caused by accidents, jobs, and others. In such case, follow the application instructions and that’s it!

13. (… and why not decorate pots and other gardening pieces? TURFquick® planting textile is very flexible and practical, only our imagination can limit its use!).

The hard work has been done and now it’s time to sit back and enjoy your new landscaping. To ensure your lawn continues to look great for years to come we have compiled some helpful tips on caring for your new lawn.
