Lawn seed protection

[Carl Bert]

The town redid all the curbs in my neighborhood and then filled in with topsoil and seeded. After applying the seed, they covered the entire area with a white fabric. Within 2 weeks I had a super thick bed of new grass. No bare spots. Very even and full throughout. My question is, does anyone know what this white fabric is called?

My Dad is trying to grow a new lawn on a sloped area in his yard. I thought this unknown white material would be perfect, not only for germination but also to help keep the rain from washing the seed down the hill.

Ok any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Perhaps you could call the town and ask who their supplier is. It may take a few calls to find out, but someone will know.:biggrin:

I've also seen that before. They usually call that plat protection fabric. Try to Google it and you'll see lot of kinds of it.

Have never heard of it, have never seen it. Around here they just shred up straw and spread it around over the new seed and dirt. When I use seed, which is rarely, I just cover it with dry grass mulch.

Here in Texas they use a green thin material and i believe its burlapp and what i does is keep the birds from stealing the seed protects the seedlings Grassfast® by Gardeneer compost netting
