Turfmaster Grass Seed
Turfmaster Grass Seed is a premium professional grass seed mixture developed specifically for cultivated turf production. Designed for turf growers, landscape contractors and professional turf farms, this carefully balanced blend produces a dense, fine-textured sward with outstanding disease resistance, rapid establishment and the strong rhizomatous root structure required for successful turf harvesting and lifting.
Producing quality cultivated turf demands far more than rapid germination. The grass must establish quickly, knit together to form a dense surface, develop an extensive root system and remain healthy throughout production. Turfmaster Grass Seed has been formulated to meet these demanding requirements while producing turf that is attractive, durable and easy to handle during harvesting.
The professional mixture contains:
- 10% Malibu Perennial Ryegrass
- 15% Cyrena Perennial Ryegrass
- 20% Caldris Chewings Fescue
- 15% Smirna Slender Creeping Red Fescue
- 15% Heidrun Strong Creeping Red Fescue
- 15% Benji Strong Creeping Red Fescue
- 10% Cathy Slender Creeping Red Fescue
Each grass species has been selected for its individual contribution to turf quality.
The Perennial Ryegrasses provide rapid germination and early establishment, producing quick ground cover that shortens production time while creating a durable, hard-wearing turf suitable for a wide range of landscaping applications.
The combination of Strong Creeping Red Fescue and Slender Creeping Red Fescue is particularly valuable in turf production. These rhizomatous grasses spread naturally beneath the soil surface, producing an interconnected root network that binds the turf together. This strong rootzone significantly improves turf lifting, handling and transportation while helping the turf establish quickly after installation.
Chewings Fescue contributes a finer leaf texture, increased turf density and excellent year-round appearance while maintaining good tolerance to close mowing.
The carefully balanced formulation provides numerous benefits, including:
- Rapid establishment
- Fine, dense turf
- Strong rhizomatous root development
- Excellent turf lifting characteristics
- Outstanding disease resistance
- Attractive year-round colour
- Good wear tolerance
- Professional quality finish
Turfmaster Grass Seed is ideally suited for:
- Turf farms
- Commercial turf production
- Landscape contractors
- Garden centres
- New turf cultivation
- Premium landscaping projects
- Domestic turf supply
- Commercial developments
- Public open spaces
- Amenity landscaping
One of the greatest strengths of this mixture is its high proportion of rhizomatous grasses. These creeping species produce a robust underground network that strengthens the turf slab, allowing cleaner lifting with reduced breakage while maintaining excellent stability during transportation and laying. This results in a superior finished product for both growers and customers.
As part of the Designer Grass Seed Range, every seed is treated with HEADSTART® GOLD, an advanced biological seed treatment that promotes faster germination, improved root development and stronger early establishment. This helps turf producers achieve faster crop establishment and consistent, professional-quality results.
Whether producing cultivated turf for domestic lawns, commercial landscapes or sports facilities, Turfmaster Grass Seed delivers the professional performance, reliability and turf quality expected by today’s turf industry.
Sowing & Establishment
Sow Turfmaster Grass Seed between March and May or late August to October, when soil temperatures remain above 8°C.
Prepare a fine, firm seedbed by removing weeds and debris before sowing evenly at the recommended rate of 35 g/m². Lightly rake the seed into the soil and roll the surface to ensure excellent seed-to-soil contact. Maintain adequate soil moisture throughout germination and early establishment.
Growing On
The perennial ryegrasses establish rapidly, while the creeping red fescues develop their extensive rhizomatous root systems to strengthen the turf for lifting.
Carry out the first cut when the grass reaches approximately 50–60 mm, gradually reducing the mowing height to the recommended 15 mm. Regular mowing encourages tillering and produces the dense, even turf required for commercial production.
Turf Maintenance
Maintain Turfmaster Grass Seed at approximately 15 mm throughout production.
Apply balanced fertiliser as required, irrigate during prolonged dry weather and monitor for weeds to maintain crop quality. Regular mowing and sound nutrition will encourage a dense, healthy turf ready for harvesting.
