For winter planting, STAYturf must be oversown with Perennial Rye Grass at 5kg per 100msq. This must be carried out at least 3 weeks prior to harvesting to ensure it's maturity.
Roll Sizes
- Width. 0 to 4m
- Length. 0 to 15m
Roll dimensions can be varied to suit most situations. Where the required width is less than 4m, STAYturf can be installed without a lineal join. For wider installations, multiple rolls can be specified. Both lateral and lineal joins must be overlapped (See Installation and Maintenance guidelines). Total amount of STAYturf = Surface Area + 5%.
Installation
It is vital that correct installation and maintenance procedures are followed. See Installation and Maintenance guidelines.
Post-Installation
As outlined in the 'Installation and Maintenance' guidelines, STAYturf should be watered for at least 4 weeks following installation. For extreme climate zones this period may need to be extended. In most cases, once the grass has established further watering is not required. This can vary depending on the selected grass variety.
Mowing
There is no requirement for STAYturf to be mowed. Many installations are never mowed as the drain or channel is in a remote location where aesthetics are not an issue. In overland flow paths through open space or parklands, STAYturf can be mowed with conventional machinery.
