Grass seed for public areas, such as municipal lawns, roadsides, business parks, etc.

Grass seeds for public green spaces

Grass seeds for public green spaces such as verges, dykes, embankments but also parks and other publicly accessible areas must meet a number of specific requirements. For instance, the grass must be low-maintenance. Not only in the form of less mowing, but the cost of fertilising must also be limited. Ordinary lawn grass mixtures do not meet these requirements, but our public green mixtures do!

One of the most important requirements that roadside grass, or grass seed for roadsides, must meet is that the grass varieties incorporated in these mixtures must create a sod that requires little maintenance. To give an example, grass seed used for greening verges should not grow too tall too quickly. This can create untidy - and therefore dangerous - traffic situations. By sowing a balanced grass mixture consisting exclusively of slow-growing grasses, you can avoid this kind of undesirable situation.

The grass on dykes must perform all year round under a variety of challenging (weather) conditions. On the one hand, grass seed for dykes must germinate quickly, so that it looks graceful in no time. On the other hand, it is also very important for the grass mixture to resist erosion. These properties require a sophisticated composition of high-quality grass varieties. Graszaaddirect sells these quality mixtures for dykes. For example, we sell Dykes D1 grass seed. This tasty grass mixture is specifically composed for dykes where sheep graze intensively. We also sell the well-known Dijken D2 mixture. This salt-tolerant grass mixture is distinctive when it comes to erosion control.

For laying grass around parks and other high-traffic public areas, you need a mixture with grass varieties that grow a bit faster compared to grass seed for verges and dykes. This is because the grass is regularly stressed. When the grass is overloaded and then damaged, you want any damage/ bald spots to grow back quickly. The grass for parks, shopping centres and other related locations have a good self-healing ability. Apart from the fact that this grass has to be able to take a beating, it also has to look neat. The grass seed we offer for these (often) municipal green spaces, have a high ornamental value and, as icing on the cake, these grass mixtures require little maintenance.

Sowing grass seed for public green spaces: when and how?

Grass mixtures for public green spaces can be sown almost all year round. Ideally, you should sow grass seed for public green spaces from February to October at the latest. In principle, it does not matter when you sow, as long as the soil temperature is at least 10 °C and the chance of night frost is gone for good! As soon as the mercury rises and the soil is at least 10 °C, the grass starts to wake up and grow. Sprinkle the grass seeds evenly over the soil and keep the soil slightly moist after sowing, so that the grass seeds can germinate even faster. Use a spreader and adjust it to the right position to ensure the grass seeds are sown evenly.
