Reduce
your mowing time or don't mow at all!
Eco-Grass while quick to germinate, is a very slow growing grass that has a fine
textured, dense, low-growing habit, so you don't have to mow it if you don't
want to! Left unmown, over the course of a full growing season, Eco-Grass
blades will grow to about 9 inches long, but because the blades of Eco-Grass are
so fine, it falls over to about a 4 inch height creating Eco-Grass's gentle, flowing
carpet-like appearance. If you prefer a more 'cropped lawn look', occasional
mowing will be necessary. Mow Eco-Grass no more than once a month to a height
of 3 to 4 inches for a classic lawn look.
Drought Tolerant
Eco-Grass produces grass blades that are very thin and thus
don't require the amount of water that typical, thick bladed
lawn grasses demand. Eco-Grass also creates roots that grow
deep into the ground, so Eco-Grass can seek out needed nutrients
and water naturally, thus eliminating the need for watering.
Eco-Grass is perfect for areas where water conservation is
important and is excellent for establishing new lawns, erosion
buffers and bank stabilizations.
No fertilizers or chemicals
required!
Eco-Grass, unlike traditional turf grasses, creates a deep
root system. It will make roots up to 9 inches (22.86 cm)
deep in hard pan clay soils and up to 14 inches (35.56 cm)
deep in sandy soils! These deep root systems enable Eco-Grass
to naturally source the nutrients it requires from the soil
so you don't need to add chemical fertilizers!
For new lawns or fix your old existing worn out lawn
This
product can be hydroseeded (hydro seeded) or mechanically seeded or oversown
(overseeded ) by top dressing
with an organic fertilzer-compost-grass seed mixture. When this is done with
existing lawns the new more aggressive Eco-Grass fescues and native grasses will gradually replace
the current lawn and change the grass type over to eco grass. This
is particularly effective for older worn out lawns and can usually be done
in 2 or 3 top dress applications over
the span of a year.
Dog Damaged Lawns - we have the solution !
If you have dogs, this grass blend is ideal, sod grass lawns are virtually zero salt tolerant, while eco grass is very salt tolerant. It is the salt and ammonia in the dogs urine that builds up in the soil until it becomes infertile. A simple application of our 100% natural Dog Spot Eliminator will neutralize the salt and attenuate the excess nitrogen from the ammonia, now your soil has been fixed you can resow or replace your lawn with Eco Grass for as much more dog tolerant lawn.

(4 x 25 Kg sacks )
This seed blend is very fine and covers a lot of area. Seedling density should be higher for quicker results, plan on a minimum of 2-3 kg per thousand sq feet for adequate seedling density, more seed per square foot will give a higher density and you should have an adequate lawn within 6-8 weeks depending on weather and watering.
