Low Maintenance Landscape (BL3)

Summary: A low maintenance all-fescue landscape grass seed mixture without ryegrass, designed for slow growing, fine-leaved turf with reduced mowing and management requirements. Ideal for large landscaped areas, steep banks, embankments and difficult-to-maintain sites, this blend provides durable ground cover with slower regrowth, making it suitable for low input and specialist environmental planting conditions.

A low growing mixture of fescue only grass species.

Low Maintenance Landscape grass seed without ryegrass can produce good ground cover without the more vigorous, upright growth associated with rye.

Suitable for larger areas in full sun to partial shade.

For steep banks or other sites difficult to maintain.

These sites may be areas of landscape, road construction or even railway embankments.

Fescues are also compatible with more delicate coastal site reinstatement or locations where ryegrass is to be purposely avoided.

Although Low Maintenance Landscape grass seed may take a little longer to fully establish (compared to rye grass based mixtures), the resulting compact and fine leaved turf will require less frequent management due to slower regrowth/recovery from cutting.

Sow Low Maintenance Landscape grass seed without ryegrass at 35 grams per sq/m.

Sow at the higher rate of 50 grams per sq/m if full coverage is required more quickly.

Apply at the low rate of 20 grams per sq/m for over seeding into an existing turf or if economy is the leading factor.

The high percentage of both Hard/Sheeps and Chewings Fescue help make this all fescue, slow growing grass seed mixture very durable.

It is suitable for most soil types including those of an acidic nature.

Best suited for: Low maintenance landscaping on large or difficult sites such as embankments, steep banks, road verges and reclaimed land where slow-growing, fine-leaved fescue turf is preferred to reduce mowing, management and ongoing maintenance requirements.
