GrassMat™ Supreme
GrassMat™ Supreme is a biodegradable textile, pre-sown with seed and fertilizer, which provides an easy method for effective vegetation restoration and erosion control on a wide variety of landscapes from lawns to steep slopes. Its innovative construction traps seed and fertilizer securely and evenly within the mat so they cannot be disturbed during handling, transportation, installation and settlement (a common problem with previous blankets). Inside GrassMat™ Supreme, the seeds sprout and grow well, protected from washout and deprivation, to give excellent grass cover results.

Standard Seed Mix

Low Maintenance Erosion Control:
● 55% Festuca rubra rubra (creeping red fescue)
● 20% Festuca rubra commutata (Chewing's fescue)
● 15% Festuca arundinacea (tall fescue)

● 5% Lolium perenne (perennial rye-grass)

GrassMat™ Supreme Usage Instructions
Seed is a live material. It’s growth depends on various factors: the climate, the irrigation, the type of soil, etc. We suggest laying down GrassMat Supreme when the temperature is steadily higher than 8°-10°C and lower than 30°C. We also kindly suggest you follow the usage instructions listed below. We use only first grade components, yet it is not possible to guarantee a good result when inclement weather conditions occur, due to usage mistakes or during the grass cover on critical conditions.

● Remove any gravel and the pre-existing grass or vegetation by the roots, turn over the surface soil (the first 10 cm), and work free of clods, rubbish and large stones then smoothly grade the soil.
● Lay GrassMat Supreme down without stretching it, but placing it carefully, making it sure it adheres fully to the ground (this can be help by also watering).
● On scarps and slopes, secure GrassMat Supreme on the top of the slope, anchoring it in a small, a few centimetres deep, cutting if necessary, dug approx. 50 cm over the crest.
● Unroll the biotextile making sure that it remains attached to the ground and secure it using pegs or U-shaped staples, placed at a variable distance, depending on the inclination and on the location and terrain features. On average, 2.5 pin/m² of biotextile.
● It is strongly recommended to also COVER GRASSMAT SUPREME WITH A LIGHT DRESSING OF STERILE LOAM OR SAND.
● GrassMat Supreme can be easily shaped using simple domestic scissors.
● Water briefly and regularly throughout the day (to keep the blanket damp) during the first 25- 30 days until the grass surface has completely settled.
● Cut it for the first time when it reaches 10-15 cm.
● WHEN YOU WORK ON POOR SUBSTRATES, BACKFILL WITH AT LEAST 30 CM OF FERTILE COMPOST BEFORE LAYING FABRIC.
● GrassMat Supreme may be laid down on either side.
● GrassMat Supreme is a totally natural product, 100% biodegradable in a period which can vary from four to five months, depending on the ground type and on the environmental and climatic

Eco-Peg™ - Biodegradable Pegs:
Eco-Peg™ is a new, fully biodegradable, fixing peg which takes advantage of the latest developments in biodegradable polymer technology to produce a landscape mat anchor peg with the highest environmental credentials. 

Over the past 20 years, increasing emphasis has been placed on living "green" and being environmentally conscious in the creation of industrial products and solutions. Throughout this time, there have been many different attempts, some misguided, aimed at creating the most environmentally friendly plastic products. 

Eco-Peg™ contains a very special new additive, which intensifies the ability of plastics to biodegrade, in both aerobic and anaerobic environments, through the presence of micro-organism activity. Whether it is in compost, marine, landfill or soil environments the pegs fully break down within 5 years into CO2, biomass and water, returning to nature without leaving any harmful residues. 

Eco-Peg™ is a genuinely biodegradable product and should not be confused with oxo-degradable plastics that just fragment into smaller pieces through exposure to sunlight resulting in harmful micro-plastics rather than breaking down at the molecular or polymer level like biodegradable and compostable plastics. The resulting micro-plastics are left in the environment indefinitely until they eventually fully break down.

Eco-Peg™ is made in the UK using a unique bio-polymer compound which contains 90% recycled consumer plastics enhanced with 1% of special additive. 

The factory uses efficient production techniques that result in near zero waste and have invested in a vast solar panel system that powers their machines, factory and office space, to significantly reduce their carbon footprint.

40no pegs will be dispatched with the 15m² roll and 100no pegs will be dispatched with the 40m² (if ordered).
