Grass Characteristics
Perennial Ryegrass is a rapid germinating, quick establishing
grass that provides quick cover and soil stability with a relatively
low growth habit, and it tolerates wet soil conditions.
Creeping Red Fescue is a fine textured grass that tolerates full
sun to moderate and heavy shade. It forms a dense and low-growing
grass well suited for un-mown areas. It also performs well under
low fertilizer and water regimens.

quick establishing and serves as a temporary nurse grass.
Planting & Management

is advantageous to cat-track vertically to create a terraced surface

for germination or plant during your regions rainy growing seasons
