NaturesTurf™ - Native Grass in a sod-like format for difficult to vegetate areas

OVERVIEW

The Canadian Prairies are not what they once were, by most measures less than 10% of undisturbed Prairie remain, this makes re-establishing native grasses important work. Establishing native grasses from seed is challenging, so we set out to find a way to find a better way to deliver native grasses. NaturesTurf™ is a unique product we developed with a method to produce broad blend of native grasses in a sod like format.

‍NaturesTurf™ consists of fully vegetated rolls – nursery produced with a blend of native vegetation grown within 35-45mm of soil-less growing medium and reinforced with a unique integrated erosion control blanket which is fully biodegradable.

Applications

NaturesTurf™ provides immediate full vegetative coverage of native plants - its the ideal solution for a wide range of naturalization projects.
‍
Common Applications:
• Park and municipal settings
• Storm ponds, rain gardens and other LID installations
• Reclamation and riparian restorations
• Green roofs
• Areas requiring native plants that are hard to vegetate with seed

Installation & Maintenance

Delivered in a big roll format with 2 - 2' x 50' rolls per tube (200 sqft) Installation is similar to conventional sod, rolls can be placed with big roll laying equipment or can be cut into smaller pieces when desired. While similar to conventional sod, installation is slower due to tenderness and thickness of NaturesTurf™. For establishment water deeply every 2 days for 2-3 weeks after installation. NaturesTurf™ is typically delivered via a super B, each load will contain approximately 60 Rolls - 12,000 sqft. NaturesTurf™ is intended to be a naturalized product and requires minimal maintenance. The full plant coverage at installation suppresses weeds and limits the establishment of wind blown weed seeds. After establishment we recommend an annual mowing in early spring mow at a 5-6" height on a mulch setting. Fertilize at installation and annually with a balance N-P-K controlled release product.
