WeedGuard 18" Circles
Landscaping Transformations
Site Situation: Dandelion and noxious weed infested yard
Goal: Eliminate the high cost of purchasing and installing sod, kill weeds (without chemicals) and transform area into lush drought tolerant,
no/low water turf
Location: Denver, Colorado
Area: approx 6,000 SqFt
Materials:
1 layer WeedGuard Heavy Weight
Common (low cost) weed seed free topsoil
Drought tolerant perennial rye grass
1. WeedGuard rolled out 1 layer (3” edge overlap) directly over weed infested yard
2. Topsoil spread 1” (max) depth over entire layer of WeedGuard
3. Perennial Rye broadcast spreader dispersed over topsoil.
4. Light ¼” layer of topsoil lightly tossed over seeds
5. Brief watering 1x/day over 5 days
First significant germination = day 7
30 days later
The grass (or cover crop) roots will go through the WeedGuard and firmly establish.
The WeedGuard in the 4-6 weeks since starting project has blocked all light, so the weeds below die. The WeedGuard fully decomposes and feeds the new grass and soil below with nutrients and organic matter as it decomposes.
