Whenever starting a new lawn from Seed, it is highly recommended to cover all improved bare soil/seed planted areas with germination blanket for best results.  Seed germination blanket is a bio-degradable, wood fiber stranded mat-like material that is sold by the roll (4′ or 8′ wide x 150’+/- long) and often times includes nylon netting for strength.  Use germination blanket to cover any/all large seed planted bare soil areas.  For smaller lawn repairs (+/- 10 square feet), a simple peat moss covering is still preferred.

Here are a few reasons why you should use seed germination blanket when planting a new lawn from seed.

• Protect newly planted seed from blowing wind, feeding birds and even heavy rain down pours.
• Steel staples (4″ to 6″ long) provide secure attachment of blanket to soil below.
• Reduce air-borne weed seed from ever contacting soil.
• Great soil erosion protection (prior to grass establishment in particular).
• Achieve fantastic seed germination rates!
• Clean overall appearance.
• New grass grows directly through blanket covering, no need to remove.
• Retains water to further aid in seed germination/plant root development.
• Unwanted debris can be easily blown off blanket covering with little chance of seed disturbance.
