Grasstex® Lawn Carpet 2.1x25m

A perfect lawn, fast and effortless

The GrassTex® 2.1x25m lawn-establishing geotextile is a modern lawn carpet based on non-woven PES geotextile with evenly distributed seed, which creates a dense green lawn quickly and without the need for special equipment or in-depth expert knowledge.

You can lay this lawn carpet yourself – an ideal solution for those looking for a professional result through a "do-it-yourself" approach. Moreover, it is a quality Slovak product that is fully ecological and environmentally friendly.

Main advantages of the GrassTex lawn carpet

• Faster germination: The fabric retains moisture, which significantly speeds up the seed germination process.
• Protection against weeds: The geotextile prevents weeds from growing through from the lower layers for more than 5 years.
• Seed stabilization: The seed is protected against being washed away by rain, eaten by birds, or moved by wind.
• Ideal for slopes: Possibility of grassing sloped areas up to a 45° incline.
• Easy handling: Low weight (only 15 kg per 52.5 m²) makes application easier.
• Long-term protection: The PES fabric gradually breaks down as a firm root layer forms.

Solution for sloped areas and slopes

GrassTex® fabric is designed for reinforcing and grassing highway slopes, sloped areas, and other hard-to-access terrain. Since the seed is firmly held in the geotextile, it does not wash away even during heavy rain.

As the fabric breaks down, a dense and strong root system forms, which naturally holds the slope together and protects it against erosion.

When laying on a slope, we recommend placing a natural jute geotextile over the Grasstex lawn-establishing fabric, which stabilizes the soil and prevents it from sliding, ensuring perfect grassing of the given area.

How to correctly lay GrassTex®?

The process is very similar to classic lawn seeding, but with a much higher guarantee of results:

• Preparation: Remove weeds and stones, and level the surface.
• Laying: Unroll the carpet and secure it with plastic pins or steel staples .
• Covering: Cover the fabric with a layer of soil or sand about 0.5–1 cm thick.
• Watering: Keep the area regularly moist during germination.
• First mowing: When the grass reaches a height of 10 cm.

We describe how to lay the Grasstex lawn carpet in more detail in this guide.

Simple and quick DIY installation

Establishing a lawn using GrassTex can be done without any problems even by an ordinary user without special tools. The whole process is simple, logical, and not time-consuming.

The installation was carried out by our customer on their own, without a professional company, which clearly shows that GrassTex is a suitable solution for DIY enthusiasts as well.

The following photos show the entire installation process – from preparing the base, through the actual laying, to the resulting dense and even lawn.

Preparing the base for laying the lawn carpet

Preparing the base for Grasstex is the same as for a classic lawn. First, remove weeds (ideally twice), stones, roots, and any unevenness. The base should consist of at least 20 cm of loosened fertile soil or lawn substrate so that the lawn roots properly.

Laying the lawn carpet

Spread the lawn-establishing geotextile over the prepared base. The fabric can be easily trimmed with a knife or sturdy scissors as needed. Lay the individual strips with a 10–15 cm overlap so that they join correctly.

Cover the geotextile with a 0.5-1 cm layer of soil or lawn substrate. Lay the fabric strips in the direction of covering so that soil does not get under the geotextile.

Grass seed germination

During grass seed germination (14–21 days), water the area regularly and thoroughly so that it never fully dries out, but at the same time no standing water remains on it. The best results are achieved with automatic irrigation with shorter watering intervals several times a day.

One month after laying the lawn carpet

Perform the first mowing when the grass reaches a height of approximately 10 cm. Shorten the grass by no more than 1/3 of its length, ideally with a reel mower. Afterwards, mow to a height of 4 cm, according to the instructions of the Barenbrug RPR Lawn grass seed manufacturer. You can also use this seed later, in case of oversowing before the start of the season.

Final result of the lawn carpet after 2 months

In the final result, the customer already fully enjoys the benefits of the Grasstex lawn carpet, which makes summer moments in the garden more pleasant.

Lawn care is the same as with ordinary grassing – regular mowing, fertilizing, and treatment against diseases and pests as needed. The Barenbrug grass mixture used in GrassTex products is intended mainly for sunny locations and requires regular maintenance.

Storage

You don't have to lay GrassTex right away. In a dry and dark environment without access for rodents, it can be stored for up to 2 years. We recommend storing it on a shelf so that the geotextile is not in direct contact with the ground.

NOTICE: GrassTex cannot be returned within the statutory period, as it is a product manufactured to order to ensure maximum freshness of the seed.
