BULK
What is lawn soil made of and in what contexts can I use it?
Turf soil is usually made up of a mixture of topsoil, sand and peat, sometimes enriched with compost or organic fertilizers. It is ideal for preparing the soil before laying turf or sowing. It allows good aeration and excellent drainage, which is essential for the growth of the turf. It can also be used to amend poor or compacted soils.
How thick should I put down soil before laying my lawn?
It is generally recommended to lay a layer of soil 5 to 10 cm thick before laying turf. This thickness allows the roots of the turf to take root well and develop.
What is the difference between cedar mulch and play fiber?
Cedar mulch is made from cedar chips and is used primarily for its decorative appearance and its repellent properties against certain insects, while improving moisture retention and preventing weed growth. Play mulch, on the other hand, is designed specifically for use in playgrounds, with a softer texture and superior cushioning.
What is a cubic yard? What is it equivalent to in cubic meters?
A cubic yard is a unit of volume commonly used in North America. It is approximately equal to 0.7646 cubic meters. It is used to measure volumes of bulk materials such as soil, sand, or gravel.
What is a ton? What is it equivalent to in cubic meters?
A tonne is a unit of mass equivalent to 1,000 kilograms. The cubic meter equivalence depends on the density of the material. For example, a tonne of sand is about 0.7 to 1 cubic meter, while a tonne of gravel could be about 0.5 to 0.8 cubic meters, depending on the type of material.
How do I prepare my land before installing new paving or slabs?
To prepare a site before installing paving stones or slabs, it is recommended to use crushed gravel or crushed stone. These materials provide a stable base and allow good drainage, which is essential to prevent subsidence.
What is garden or planting soil made of and in what contexts can I use it?
Planting soil is often a mixture of topsoil, compost, peat moss and sometimes sand or perlite to improve drainage. It is ideal for pots, planters and planting flowers, plants and shrubs in the ground. This soil is enriched with nutrients to promote healthy plant growth.
FAQ
Cultivated lawn
What is the best time of year to lay turf?
The best time to install sod is in the spring (April to June) or fall (September to October), when temperatures are moderate and moisture conditions are favorable for growth. These times allow the sod to establish roots before the warmer or cooler periods of the year.

Is the lawn available all year round?
Turf is generally available during the growing seasons, which are spring through fall. However, availability may vary depending on weather conditions and inventory.
Should I choose seeding or sod?
It depends on your preferences and needs. Seeding can be more economical, but it takes longer to achieve a uniform result. Sod offers immediate results, but it is more expensive.
Is grass really bad for the environment?
Grass itself is not bad for the environment. In fact, it helps filter water and reduce dust. However, lawn care (watering, fertilizing, mowing) can have an environmental impact, especially if it is done in an unsustainable way.
Where do weeds come from and what to do if they are present in the lawn?
Weeds can come from seeds carried by the wind, birds or tools. To eliminate them, it is recommended to remove them by hand or to treat them with a suitable selective herbicide.
What can I do if I have ants in my lawn?
Ants in your lawn can be treated with suitable insecticide products. If you want a natural solution, certain plants such as mint or cloves can repel ants.
What can I do if I have white worms?
White grubs can damage lawns by feeding on the roots. Chemical or biological treatments can be used to eliminate them. Regular maintenance and aeration of the soil can also help prevent their appearance.
What can I do if I have insects?
If you notice an infestation of other insects, there are various insecticide treatments suitable for this. You can also encourage natural predators such as birds or beneficial insects.
What should I do if mushrooms grow in my lawn?
Fungi can appear in cases of excess moisture or soil conditions that are too acidic. It is advisable to treat fungi with a fungicide and to leave enough space between waterings to avoid water stagnation.
What should I do if I suspect (fungal) disease in my lawn?
If you suspect a fungal disease, it is essential to diagnose the problem (spots on the lawn, discoloration). A fungicide treatment is often necessary to eliminate the disease and prevent its spread.
Can I come and get the grass?
Yes, you can pick up your turf directly from our agricultural bulk center. Contact us for opening hours and availability.
Before I have the rolls delivered or picked up, what should I do?
Before receiving your turf, make sure your land is well prepared: cleared of weeds, leveled and amended with turf soil if necessary. Watering the soil just before installation will make it easier to set up.
Do I need to water the ground before and during installation of the rolls?
Yes, it is recommended to lightly water the soil before laying the turf rolls. During installation, you can also water to ensure good contact between the roots and the soil.
How to install turf?
To install turf, start by preparing your ground (leveling, removing weeds). Unroll the turf rolls, laying them edge to edge. Water thoroughly after laying and continue to water regularly until the roots take hold.
Is this fresh grass?
Yes, we deliver fresh grass, cut the same day or the day before delivery to ensure the best quality.
What is the ideal mowing height?
The ideal mowing height is generally 5 to 7 cm for grass. This allows the roots to develop well and ensures a healthy lawn.
Does the lawn absolutely need to be watered?
Yes, grass needs water, especially during hot weather. Deep, infrequent watering is best to encourage the roots to grow deep.
Should I do anything about a drought?
During drought, reduce mowing frequency and increase watering duration to maintain healthy lawns.
When to water the lawn?
It is best to water early in the morning or late in the day to minimize evaporation and ensure efficient water absorption by the soil.
How can I keep my lawn looking as beautiful as your fields?
To have a quality lawn, mow regularly, fertilize three times a year, water well and aerate the soil from time to time. We also offer fertilizer products for the entire season.
Can I walk on the lawn after planting it?
It is best to avoid walking on newly installed turf for the first few weeks so as not to disturb rooting.
How, when and how often should I fertilize my lawn?
It is recommended to fertilize in spring, summer and fall. You can get your fertilizers, depending on the season, on our online store.
Can mowing height save water?
Yes, mowing at a higher height allows the lawn to retain moisture better and reduce the frequency of watering.
How to reduce mowing frequency?
To reduce mowing frequency, let the grass grow slightly taller, which will slow its growth.
What should I do if my lawn is badly damaged?
If your lawn is damaged, it can be repaired by seeding or laying new turf. Proper maintenance and regular watering will also help with recovery.
