Spread The Soil Mixture

Smooth and compact your soil mixture (70% sand / 30% organic material), leaving 1.5 inches forr the Drivable Grass mat.

Making sure your surface is level is very important to the success of your project. Screeding, or rod boarding, with a 4 to 8 foot long straight 2x4 can be used to level the soil mixture.

Install The Drivable Grass Mats

Start placing the Drivable Grass mats. When the mats are lifted, they will bend and crack at the joints. The cracks allow the mat to flex under load, assist drainage, and provide pathways for plant roots to establish in the underlying soils.

It is very important to make sure the mats securely butt up against each other. Cut mats in joints with a hammer and chiser at grid locations. If curves or off shape cuts are required then use a concrete cutting blade or a concrete saw.

Seed and Finish!

Fill the Drivable Grass mat with soil mixture leaving 1/4" from the top of the mat. Broadcast grass seed over the surface (we recommend a 80% Blue Grass / 20% Rye Grass blend at 4 lbs per 1000 sq ft).

Cover the seeding with a top dressing organic material, fill to the top of the Drivable Grass mats. Use a broom to gently spread the material evenly.

For best results water regularly in the beginning and keep it moist to help establish the new grass.
