Species Rich Lawn Turf

Species Rich Lawn Turf enables you to support biodiversity - but tidily.  

26 species of grasses and low growing flowering plants sit side by side in this lawn turf alternative.  

A minimum of 80% grasses means that this useful ground cover material is mown and fertilised just like a conventional lawn and it’s just as hardwearing. However, in contrast to a monoculture grass lawn, Species Rich Lawn Turf will regularly surprise you with a smattering of colourful native flowers.  

**With degradable netting. 

Turf size will vary with application but is generally 1m x 0.64m = 0.64m2 slabbed OR 1.62m x 0.77m = 1.25m2 rolled per turf on pallets. Larger 2 x 20m (40m2) roll sizes are also available. They can each weigh between 750-900kgs each and need special machinery to offload and roll out on site.

Key Points

• Product weight: 18-22Kg depending on moisture content.
• Water well for the first 2-4 weeks after installation or until turf is well rooted.
• Flowering Time: March – September (depending on local weather conditions).
• Mow regularly throughout the growing season
• An application of spring/summer lawn feed in mid-spring will increase resiliance
• Your species rich turf will be mown before harvest so that plants are not damaged during transportation. The flowering plants will not be blooming when it is delivered
• Depending on the time of year it can take a few weeks for plants to establish, grow and start blooming. If you would like it to flower in its first summer we recommend installing before the end of March.
• Each of the species will respond differently to soil type, local weather conditions and care regimes. In fact the balance of species changes from year to year which means that your wildflower area will continue to fascinate you more with every season.
