Instant Lawn Supplied and Installed

Tips for planting Instant Lawn.

• Planning your instant lawn project is essential for obtaining great results. We recommend planting instant lawn in spring or the first part of summer so the grass has some time to establish before winter.
• Lawn should not be used during the first weeks after propagation. 
• Many factors will determine what variety of instant lawn to select, soil quality, availability of water, climate and the lawns intended used are just some of these factors. We recommend speaking to one of our partners before selecting a variety.
• Have a soil evaluation done as this can tell you what species of grass will be suited to the soil and how to fertilize the soil.
• Amend the soil according to the grass variety selected and the results of the soil evaluation.
• Carefully measure the area where the instant lawn will be laid and request an additional 5% to ensure you have enough for the project
• Remember to remove any existing plants from the underlay and make sure the soil is aerated, smooth, and level before laying the instant lawn.
• Keep sod in a shaded area and moisten the sod until laying the sod. Preferable no more than 48 hours should pass from harvest to first watering after laying the sod.
• Lawn should be watered directly after laying the sod to ensure that the sod has sufficient moisture and contact with the soil.

Hydroseeding service across South Africa

By being more efficient than traditional seeding yet more economical than installing an instant lawn, hydroseeding manages to strike a tough balance. Although the term suggests a very high-tech process, hydroseeding can be carried out by a professional lawn care business or on your own. Most people agree that working with a professional will yield the best outcomes, and they advise employing a corporation for their resources and experience.

To put it simply, hydroseeding is a procedure that evenly spreads a particular grass “slurry” across bare land in order to grow grass and stop soil erosion. The components of this slurry are grass seeds, mulch, water, fertiliser, and biostimulants.

This combination works well because the fertiliser promotes growth while the mulch anchors the seeds to the soil, shields them from the elements (such wind or excessive sunlight), and eventually decomposes to release more nutrients into the soil.
