Laying a rustic lawn on a slope

A case of laying Viresco® Sator biofabric in the French Riviera

Customers do not always want a perfect lawn, with only fine leaf species, uniform colour and no weeds, sometimes their demands are more specific and complex. In this case, the requirement was for a rustic lawn, which would convey no impression of something removed from a natural, intact setting and would reinforce a feeling of unspoiltness.

We are located in a beautiful hilly landscape close to the coast in the south of France, thus able to reap all the benefits that the Mediterranean climate can offer.

We can see the three phases: preparing the soil, laying the Viresco® Sator biofabric in late spring, and the final result in early autumn.

The turf has survived the summer heat with no damage and the slope now has a rustic, yet tidy appearance, and the species are consistent with the surrounding vegetation.

The mixture was designed with such characteristics that it does not require maintenance and frequent cutting given the inclination and height of the slope.

The vegetation cover is uniform, dense, and the plants are well established with an end result being a healthy lawn, able to withstand hot summers and harsh winters.

The location next to a swimming pool, frequently used in the mild seasons, required good erosion control and therefore a well-developed root system capable of consolidating the slope and providing protection from runoff and erosion.

The combination of the Viresco® Sator pre-seeded bio-mat and the plants with their roots provided excellent cover and protection.
