Product Guide: Sports and Play Turf
Application Steps for Sports and Play Fields
Suitable for laying new sod
Sports and play turf is particularly durable and resilient. To ensure it grows optimally, follow these steps when laying new turf:
1. Soil Preparation
Remove weeds, branches, stones, and other debris
Loosen the soil
If necessary, mix the lawn soil with a little Turbogrün organic lawn fertilizer and apply it
The soil should then be firm underfoot but not compacted.
2. Sow grass seed
Sow the seeds directly from the package or using a seeder
Sprinkle evenly—once lengthwise and once crosswise
Dosage: 20 g/m²
Gently press down on the seeds afterward so they have good contact with the soil
Our tip: Use the turbo blower on setting 5
3. Optional: Lay down lawn fabric
After sowing, you can cover the newly seeded area with Turbogrün lawn fabric.
Protects grass seeds from birds and other animals
Keeps moisture and heat in the soil longer
Prevents the seedbed from drying out too quickly
Important: Even when using a lawn fabric, the seeds must be kept constantly moist during the germination phase. The fabric reduces evaporation but does not replace watering.
4. Watering
Keep the area consistently moist for about 4 weeks
In dry weather, water briefly several times a day
When using the lawn fabric, check the soil moisture regularly and water as needed
Avoid waterlogging
5. First Cut
First mowing when the grass is 7–8 cm long
Trim to about 5–6 cm
Mow only with sharp blades
Then gradually reduce the cutting height further
