Laying a lawn has never been easier – with Turfquick’s roll-out grass mat, your garden transforms into a lush green oasis in no time. Whether you’re working with a newly built property, renovating your garden, or refreshing worn-out areas, our seed mat offers the ultimate solution for a beautiful and long-lasting lawn.

The eco-fleece also helps retain moisture in the soil, improving plant establishment and reducing the need for watering. With this sustainable layer, you get a quick, convenient, and eco-friendly solution that delivers both a lush lawn and a beautiful wildflower meadow—while contributing to a greener, more environmentally conscious garden.

What does grass need to grow?

To achieve a dense, green, and long-lasting lawn, four essential elements must be in perfect balance:
☀️ Sunlight | 💨 Air | 💧 Water | 🌱 Nutrients

In addition, it’s important that the soil temperature is sufficiently warm—at least around 12–15 °C—for the grass seeds to germinate and grow properly. If the soil is too cold, the seeds may remain dormant longer, delaying the establishment of your lawn.

If any of these factors are missing or out of balance, the grass can suffer. Too much water may cause root rot, while too little light slows growth. But with the right conditions, you’ll have a lawn that’s not only beautiful to look at but also pleasant to walk on.

A healthy lawn does more than just look good—it purifies the air, traps dust and carbon dioxide, improves soil quality, and creates a natural space for play and relaxation.

Installation Guide for Seed Mat / Roll-Out Lawn

1. Clear and prepare the ground.

Remove weeds, stones, and old roots. Loosen the soil to a depth of at least 5 cm to create optimal conditions for root development.

2. Level and smooth the surface.

Level the ground with a rake and make sure the surface is even. Avoid any dips where water can collect.

Note! Never lay the eco-fleece directly on top of an existing surface

(e.g., an existing lawn or a weed-covered bed)

3. Water the soil.

Water the ground thoroughly before laying the seed mat. This helps the seeds make direct contact with the soil.

4. Roll out the seed mat.

Place the seed mat. Make sure the edges overlap slightly for an even result.

You can easily shape it by cutting the mat with regular scissors.

5. Lightly cover with soil.

Cover the seed mat with a thin layer of soil (max 0.1 cm) in windy areas or for extra protection.

6. Water daily!

Keep the seed mat consistently moist, especially during the first 2–3 weeks. Water in the morning and evening – this allows the water to penetrate the soil and mat more effectively.

7. Watch the results grow!

Within 3–10 days, the grass will begin to germinate. After about 2–4 weeks, you’ll have a dense and green lawn.

8. Maintenance & Tips

After about two weeks—or when the grass reaches 8–10 cm in height—you can mow it for the first time.

Do not cut more than one-third of the grass height at once to avoid stressing the lawn.

Note! Do not apply fertilizer before the first mowing. Wait 15–20 days after planting, then preferably use an organic fertilizer.

🌿 For Existing ("Old") Lawns – How to Establish a New Grass Area

If you already have an existing lawn but want to establish a new one using a seed mat, there are two recommended methods depending on your conditions and the final result you want to achieve:

Option 1: Remove or till up the existing lawn

For best results, it is recommended to completely remove the old lawn.

Smaller areas can be dug up by hand using a spade.
Larger areas can be tilled or stripped using a rototiller, excavator, or other suitable equipment.
Then prepare the soil according to the new installation instructions (loosen, level, water, and lay out the seed mat).

Option 2: Topdressing with New Soil

An option that requires less work but is best suited if the existing lawn is even and free of weeds.

Mow the existing lawn as close to the ground as possible.
Cover the entire area with at least 15 cm of topsoil.
Use a roller or gently tamp the soil to lightly compact it—do not press it too hard.
The soil should be firm but not compacted—like a good bed for the seeds.
Then follow the installation steps for the seed mat directly on top of the new soil surface.

🧱 What Type of Soil Should I Use?

We recommend using topsoil or similar soil types suitable for lawns:

Lawn soil
Construction soil
Topdressing soil

Topsoil is especially suitable because it retains moisture well and provides excellent conditions for the grass to establish itself. Apply at least 5 cm of new soil over the entire area—preferably more—for a stable and long-lasting result.

🔨 Note: All added soil should be rolled or compacted before laying the seed mat.
If the site has been roughly leveled, it is recommended to let the soil settle over a winter freeze-thaw cycle to reduce the risk of future settling.
