From fine ornamental lawns to vigorous sports and drought-tolerant blends.
Classic Turf
An extremely fine leaved but durable turfgrass blend creating a superb and versatile surface for most turfgrass applications including commercial landscapes, domestic lawns, golf courses, show gardens and tennis courts.
General description
An extremely fine leaved but durable turfgrass blend creating a superb and versatile surface for most turfgrass applications including commercial landscapes, domestic lawns, golf courses, show gardens and tennis courts.
Characteristics
Classic Turf gives super sward density and cleanness of cut, fast establishment with superior tensile strength combined with high drought and wear tolerance. Bargold has great shoot density and blends very effectively with the fescues in the mixture.
Typical seed mixture
- 45% Bargold — fine dwarf perennial ryegrass — lolium perenne
- 35% Viktorka — slender creeping red fescue — festuca rubra litoralis
- 20% Sergei — strong creeping red fescue — festuca rubra rubra
Mowing
Bargold can be mown as low as 6mm with a well adjusted cylinder mower. But it can also be maintained at a height of up to 50mm should it be required. Rotary mowers are the best option for heights of cut above 20mm. The key to maintaining quality is to mow regularly, and never to take more than a quarter of the leaf off at any one time. The longer the grass, the better the turf can cope with adverse weather conditions.
Nutrition
Classic Turf can survive happily on low fertiliser regimes and usually requires a maximum of 150kg Nitrogen per ha per year. This can be provided by two applications of fertiliser — one in the spring and one in the autumn — April & September.
Classic Sports Turf
A very vigorous turfgrass blend. Ideal for winter sports fields and areas of extreme wear and tear such as football, rugby and natural grass thoroughfares and grass airfields. This turfgrass is not matched to any other turf mixture for applications that require grip, great looks, disease tolerance and versatility.
General description
A very rigorous turfgrass blend. Ideal for winter sports fields and areas of extreme wear and tear such as football, rugby and natural grass thoroughfares and grass airfields.
Characteristics
Classic Sports which contains a high percentage of perennial ryegrass meets the demands of football, rugby and other high intensity sports where traction is required under foot. The cultivars of ryegrass we use in Classic Sports Turf have performed well in intensive wear trials at the Sports Turf Research Institute, Bingley.
Typical seed mixture
- 25% Bardorado — perennial ryegrass — lolium perenne
- 25% Barillion — perennial ryegrass — lolium perenne
- 25% Miracle — smooth stalked meadowgrass — poa pratensis
- 25% Sergei — strong creeping red fescue — festuca rubra rubra
Mowing
This mixture can be mown as low as 15mm with a well adjusted cylinder mower. The key to maintaining quality is to mow regularly, and never to take more than a quarter of the leaf off at any one time. The longer the grass, the better the turf can cope with adverse weather conditions and high wear.
Nutrition
Classic Sports can survive happily on low fertiliser regimes and usually requires a maximum of 150kg Nitrogen per ha per year. This can be provided by two applications of fertiliser — one in the spring and one in the autumn — April & September.
Masters Turf
A fine leaved turfgrass creating a superb and versatile surface for golf, bowling greens and ornamental landscapes.
General description
A fine leaved turfgrass creating a superb and versatile surface for golf, bowling greens and ornamental landscapes.
Characteristics
Masters 100% Fescue gives a dense, consistent sward, with the fineness of leaf expected of a high quality turfgrass. Slender creeping red fescue has a good colour during the summer, autumn and early winter. It also has excellent salt tolerance and a rhizomatous growth habit.
Typical seed mixture
- 25% Barcrown — slender creeping red fescue — festuca rubra litoralis
- 25% Viktorka — slender creeping red fescue — festuca rubra litoralis
- 25% Bargreen II — chewings fescue — festuca rubra commutate
- 25% Barswing — chewings fescue — festuca rubra commutate
Mowing
Fescues can be mown as low as 5mm with a well adjusted cylinder mower. For greens we recommend 5-8mm. For tees we recommend 10-12mm. In general, the longer the grass, the better the turf can cope with wear and tear. For bunker tops this turf is often left to grow without mowing to achieve a more natural festuca look.
Nutrition
100% Fescue can survive happily on low fertiliser regimes and usually requires a maximum of 150kg Nitrogen per ha per year. This can be provided by two applications of fertiliser — one in the spring and one in the autumn — April & September.
Really Tough Turf
A deep rooting turf which has been specifically bred to be more tolerant of both drought and flood. It is very tough and recovers well from the hardest pounding in gardens and landscapes, on projects where quick establishment is needed and little irrigation is possible, in areas that are prone to occasional flooding and in salty places such as coastal areas and roadside verges. Its deep roots mean it is quick to self repair after damage from a variety of causes.
General description
A very vigorous turfgrass blend. Ideal for embankment areas, salt air applications, dry and poorly drained areas and also grass thoroughfares. This turfgrass is not matched by any other turf mixture for applications that require really tough turf.
Characteristics
RTT is a broader leaved turfgrass in appearance and is proven to reach rooting depths of up to 1.5 metres in trials at the Sports Turf Research Institute, Bingley. RTT contains other tall fescue grasses which complement the rhizomatous growth habit of the RTF and a smooth stalked meadow grass. This element adds to the strength and density of this turfgrass.
Typical seed mixture
- 25% rhizomateous tall fescue — festuca arundinacea
- 65% tall fescue — festuca arundinacea
- 10% smooth stalked meadow grass — poa pratensis, or 10% perennial ryegrass — lolium perenne
Mowing
This mixture is more at home left at 25mm with a well adjusted cylinder mower. But it can also be maintained at a height of up to 80mm should it be required. Rotary mowers are the best option for heights of cut above 20mm. The key to maintaining quality is to mow regularly, and never to take more than a quarter of the leaf off at any one time.
Nutrition
RTT can survive happily on low fertiliser regimes and usually requires a maximum of 125kg Nitrogen per ha per year. This can be provided by two applications of fertiliser — one in the spring and one in the autumn — April & September.
