CoverLawn

CoverLawn, as its name suggests, is a cover which is placed over your lawn. It is easy to install and it protects your natural grass from damage.

Simply roll it out, peg it down, and watch your grass grow from beneath.

CoverLawn is unique. It is an open synthetic turf, with no backing. Via a knitting technique, the synthetic fibres create a braid of knots, and when stretched, these braids form a honeycomb of holes. These holes allow the natural grass to grow through, and the fibres protect the grass from damage.

This gives you a true ‘hybrid grass’ for home lawns. No more bare patches.

CoverLawn can be laid over seed, instant turf, or an existing lawn.
