Grass Seed for Public Green Spaces

Grass seeds for public green areas such as verges, dikes, embankments, as well as parks and other publicly accessible spaces must meet several specific requirements. For example, the grass must be low-maintenance – not only requiring less frequent mowing but also limiting fertilization costs. Standard lawn grass mixtures typically do not meet these needs, but our public green space mixtures do!

One of the key requirements for verge grass, or grass seed for verges, is that the grass varieties used must create a dense sward that demands little maintenance. For instance, grass seed used for greening verges should not grow too tall too quickly, as this could create unsafe and unclear traffic situations. By sowing a well-balanced mixture made exclusively of slow-growing grasses, you can prevent such unwanted situations.

Grass on dikes must perform year-round under a variety of challenging (weather) conditions. On the one hand, dike grass seed needs to germinate quickly to achieve a visually appealing appearance in no time. On the other hand, it is also crucial that the grass mixture combats erosion. These properties demand a carefully selected composition of high-quality grass varieties. Graszaaddirect sells these quality mixtures for dikes, such as the "Dijken D1" grass seed mixture, specially formulated for dikes where sheep graze intensively. We also offer the well-known "Dijken D2" mixture, which stands out for its salt tolerance and exceptional erosion control properties.

For establishing grass around parks and other busy public locations, you need a mixture with grass varieties that grow somewhat faster compared to grass seed for verges and dikes. These areas experience regular wear and tear. When the grass becomes overused and damaged, you want it to recover and cover bare spots quickly. Grass for parks, shopping centers, and similar locations features a strong self-repairing ability. Besides needing to withstand heavy use, it must also maintain an attractive appearance. The grass seeds we offer for these (often municipal) green spaces have high ornamental value and, as a bonus, require little maintenance.

Sowing Grass Seed for Public Green Spaces: When and How?

Our grass mixtures for public green spaces can be sown almost all year round. Ideally, sow your grass seed for public green spaces from February until October at the latest. Generally, it doesn't matter when you sow, as long as the soil temperature is at least 10 °C (50 °F) and there is no longer any risk of nighttime frost. Once temperatures rise and the soil reaches 10 °C, the grass will start to awaken and grow. Distribute the grass seed evenly over the soil and keep the ground lightly moist after sowing to promote faster germination. Use a seed spreader and set it to the correct setting to ensure even sowing.
