Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long will it take to arrive?

A: We normally ship your Grotrax™ order within 2 to 3 business days of when you place your order, and most orders arrive within 5 to 7 days from there, in the current C19 crisis orders are taking a few extra days in the shipping process so please allow a bit extra to receive your order.

Q: How much work is required?

A: Grotrax makes growing an envy-worthy lawn as easy as possible. Simply roll it over the area where you want grass, water it, and watch it grow!

How do I know if Grotrax will work for my lawn?

A: To put it simply, Grotrax works ANYWHERE—in any climate and even in areas where grass is traditionally more difficult to grow, like in the shade and on hills. It works because Grotrax merges the latest in seed science with high-tech turf technology (the same fast-growth formula used by golf courses and high-end resorts around the country).

The seeds: Grotrax uses proprietary seed blends custom-designed to grow in all climates. Our Grotrax Blue Rye is great for cold climates. The Grotrax Tall Fescue is good for "Cool/Moderate" climates. And, the Grotrax Bermuda is great for hot or extremely hot temperatures.

The turf: Our Bio paper holds seeds in place, protecting them from birds and making sure they stay put. (Normally growing seed on slopes doesn’t work because irrigation or rain wash the seed and fertilizer down the slope.) This turf material holds up to 6x its weight in water, keeping your seeds well-hydrated, and slowly releases fertilizer over time to keep seeds nourished.

Q: Do I have to worry about Grotrax seeds being eaten by birds or washed away by rains?

A: Not with Grotrax! Spreading loose seed is an inefficient way to grow grass, because the seeds will be eaten by birds and washed away by heavy rains. But Grotrax’s patented biodegradable compost fabric keeps your seed protected from birds and firmly in place—even through strong winds and rains.

Q: What kind of seed does Grotrax use?

A: Not all grass seed is created equal. That’s why Grotrax uses only premium-quality, certified weed-free Oregon seed. We also offer a handful of seed options, depending on your climate, to ensure your new lawn will thrive no matter what part of the country you live in.

Year Round Green, aka “Shade & Sun Blend,” includes tall, fine and chewing fescue grasses, together with a unique combination of perennial rye and Kentucky blue. This combination ensures success in a wide variety of situations. Whether shaded or sunny, warm or cold, our high-quality, concentrated year-round green mixture quickly germinates to create an attractive turf with excellent color, density and wear tolerance. It fights weed invasion and is disease resistant. It is an excellent all-round choice and includes immediate and slow release fertilizers!

Tall Fescue has excellent wear characteristics due to its deep rooting, persistent nature. It tolerates moderate drought, is resistant to insect attack and disease and stays green year-round. It is a popular choice for ball fields, parks and residential lawns. Best suited for warm, transition zone climates.

Kentucky Blue & Perennial Rye Blend Dense, is an attractive, lower-growing turf that is a versatile, rugged performer. With perennial rye in the mix, it produces immediate year-round results and stays green year-round. It offers an exceptional ability to recuperate and fill in after periods of stress and use. Best suited for cold winter regions.

Bermuda & Rye Blend thrives during the summer heat. With annual rye in the mix, it produces year-round results. Bermuda grasses go dormant in the winter, but Grotrax™ Bermuda offers excellent winter kill resistance, is drought tolerant, and produces exceptional spring "green-up" compared to other Bermuda grasses. Best suited for lower and middle south regions.
