For best results the mesh should be laid down in spring when the grass will grow quickly through the mesh and the root mass will form and interlock with the mesh filaments. The protected area will soon resume its natural appearance providing a stable surface and protecting the area from damage by heavy weight vehicles.
Installation
Cut the grass as short as possible and ensure that the area is as level as possible by filling with fine topsoil and sharp sand
Clay soil – it is recommended that a suitable drainage system be installed to allow for drainage of surface water
Unroll mesh and secure both ends with the fixing pins and down each side every 1m. Where a wide area is to be protected butt the edges of the roll together and secure by placing fixing pins down each length and across each layer. Also pin down any area where the mesh is not in contact with the ground
Cover the mesh with a layer of topsoil and sharp sand. This will encourage early root growth around the mesh filaments and increase stability
Apply a suitable grass seed dressing at approx 30g/square metre over areas which were previously bare of grass or which received more than 25mm covering of topsoil and sand
The area should be kept clear of traffic until the grass has grown at least 25mm and has been mown twice with the blades set high. Following which the area can be rolled and treated with proprietary chemicals as required.
Warning
Until the grass has grown through the mesh and become established it may be slippery in wet weather.
Immediate Protection - Equestrian, etc
If immediate ground protection is required we recommend a layer of our black holey mats on the top of the mesh either permanently or until the grass roots have established sufficiently around the mesh so that the mesh is not showing and therefore no longer a danger of the mesh becoming slippery.
