RUSTIC lawn
The size of the root ball is 125 x 40 cm and therefore one root ball covers half a square meter of surface.
The quantity ordered is in square metres, which means that if you write '100' in the Quantity field you will receive 200 rolls of lawn capable of covering a surface of 100 square metres.
Prato Erboso Shop's RUSTIC lawn is a roll lawn produced with stenotaphrum secundatum seeds.
It is a broad-leaved variety of stenotaphrum secundatum that adapts to sunny or heavily shady gardens, and also survives under pine trees.
Rustic lawn that requires low maintenance and is able to tolerate the drought of our climates thanks to its deep root system.
Thanks to the sturdy stolons it is able to cover the areas thinned out by the passage of pets.
RUSTIC Lawn is recommended for the creation of residential lawns in hot climate areas. It is ideal in all situations with a very low maintenance level and widely sunny areas.
Temperature resistance
Excellent heat resistance, grows up to 40°C. In winter, if it is permanently exposed to minimum temperatures which on average fall below 10°C, it begins to enter dormancy, initially characterized by an interruption in growth and subsequent discolouration. Upon reaching the 0°C threshold there is a total discoloration with a light and uniform straw yellow effect. Resistance to cold, within macrothermal species, is not the best (down to -5°C) and does not tolerate prolonged frost. In temperate climate areas it generally goes dormant in December and then greens up again in April.
Resistance to trampling
Medium, but is able to colonize thinned areas, albeit somewhat slowly, thanks to the presence of stolons.
Shade resistance
Excellent, certainly the best.
The RUSTIC lawn requires mowing approximately every 10-12 days during the warmer months and it is recommended to cut with rotary blades.

It is necessary to lay the lawn within 24 hours of delivery to guarantee its integrity.
1. Tillage with removal of any residue of old lawn or weeds and large stones (small ones can also be left).
2. Preparation of the installation base by correcting the soil if it is excessively silty or sandy with the addition of silica or river sand or, alternatively, lapillus.
3. Accurate leveling to avoid harmful water stagnation. Keep the ground level 1-2 cm below the level of sidewalks or walkways in general.
4. Fertilization base with phosphorus-based fertilizer to stimulate the root development of the root ball.
5. Laying the lawn: carefully place the clods together, making the edges match (do not overlap). In very large plots, irrigate as you lay it to avoid dehydration of the lawn, especially in the summer season. Do not use small pieces of sod as they are quickly subject to dehydration.
6. Water abundantly as soon as the lawn is laid. Roll the ground to ensure that the carpet can adhere perfectly to the ground, thus eliminating air pockets that would prevent the turf from rooting. In the following days, make sure that the water supply always keeps both the root ball and the underlying soil very moist to help it root. It is advisable to water during the coolest hours of the day: early morning. After approximately 15-20 days after installation, depending on the period, you should no longer be able to lift the clods.
7. Gradually reduce irrigation, trying to accustom the turf to the lowest possible water supply depending on the soil, sun exposure and season.
8. First mowing of the lawn approximately 10 days after installation e always collection of the cut.
9. There are no seasonal limits for the installation of the lawn, but it is good practice, in case of installation at high temperatures, to prevent fungal attacks with specific products and never install in the presence of frozen ground.
10. Fertilizations: at least four basic annual fertilizations are recommended: early spring and late spring with ternary fertilizers with a prevalence of nitrogen content and early autumn and late autumn with ternary fertilizers with a prevalence of potassium content.
11. Fungicide treatment: it is recommended to carry out preventively, especially in the summer season.
