Martyns Grass Lawns:
Lawn Turf Production
Martyn's Grass Lawns choose only the lightest soil types available in the
region, which are free from significant stone, debris and weed to enable
the mature sod to successfully transplant and readily re-transplant.
Grass seed mixtures are sourced from the best breeders worldwide, each mixture
being meticulously cleaned and blended. With the use of specialised equipment,
we prepare and seed the ground to produce a sod of premium quality.
During a two-year growing period, Martyn's continuous programme of spraying,
mowing and vacuuming of clippings ensures the production of a top quality
sod..
Lawn Turf Harvesting
Years of research have helped us to perfect the most efficient method of harvesting the sod. Available in: ¾ sq. yd. or 1 sq. yd. rolls and also available in the big roll system, which consists of 20 yd. rolls.
Martyn's Grass Lawns have established that the best results are obtained
from a thinly cut sod transplanted within 48 hours of harvesting and well
watered in dry conditions.
Our Harvester is custom built into our tractors to guarantee a precision
cut sod.
Delivery
Our production facility is operational all year round, subject to weather.
The sod is available for delivery within 24 hours of harvesting.
The sod is placed on pallets, loaded onto our trucks for delivery. When
it arrives on site it is placed in the desired locations by our Mounty forklift.
The Mounty Forklift, with its extending arm, allows the driver to offload
the sods even in the most difficult areas
Your Guide To Laying The Sod
1. Preparing
If weeds and stones are a problem, these should be removed.
Cultivate the area, level and add soil if necessary. Consolidate the area
by heeling (not rolling).
Rake over, obtaining a fine tilth to ensure contact between the soil and
turves.
2. Laying
Moisten soil if dry. Roll out, butting the strips tightly together.
Never stretch the turves to meet. Lay a plank on the first row and work
from the plank.
Stagger the second row and each row thereafter, creating a brickwork pattern.
Water until turves are wet. Tramp or lightly roll whilst still moist.
3. After Laying
Keep well watered during the first 2-week period. Then water as normal
thereafter.
Light applications of fertiliser might be necessary in spring.
4. Mowing
It is advisable not to mow turves until good root growth has established.
This normally takes 2 weeks in good growing conditions and it is preferable
that initial cuts
should be at a sufficient height not to scalp the new lawn.
5. Grass Seed
Martyn's Grass Lawns use only the specified varieties of grass seed recommended
by STRI (Sports Turf Research Institute).
When the sod has reached perfect maturity it is then harvested by the most
sophisticated equipment available.
To ensure the quality of our grass we carry out strict ongoing quality checks
for weed and pest control.
This regular monitoring guarantees a mature and disease free sod at the
point of sale.
