The Pegdev ProScape seed blend is designed for homeowners, landscapers, and groundskeepers seeking a durable, lush, and low-maintenance lawn. Its key benefit is rapid establishment and year-round greenery with reduced watering and pesticide needs. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for those aiming for a high-quality, robust turf, which may involve a different seeding approach than conventional blends. This blend features tetraploid ryegrass for enhanced durability, disease resistance, and drought tolerance, along with larger seeds for faster germination and superior coverage, effectively suppressing weeds.

The ideal time for planting ProScape is in early fall or early spring when soil temperatures are moderate and moisture is generally more consistent. This allows for optimal germination and establishment before extreme heat or cold.
ProScape has improved drought tolerance, requiring less frequent watering than conventional grass seeds. Water deeply when the turf shows signs of stress, such as a dull, bluish-green color. Aim for about 1 inch of water per week, including rainfall.
While ProScape thrives in full sun and partial shade, extreme shade conditions may impact its density and appearance. For very shady areas, consider a specialized shade-tolerant grass blend.
Mow ProScape at a height of 2 to 3 inches. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade at any single mowing. This helps promote a healthier and denser turf.
Tetraploid ryegrass, a key component of ProScape, is a perennial grass known for its longevity and resilience, providing a vibrant lawn for many years when properly maintained.
ProScape is designed for reduced input needs. While a starter fertilizer at the time of seeding can be beneficial, ongoing fertilization requirements are lower compared to other grass types. Follow local recommendations for turf fertilization if needed.
Yes, the rapid establishment and dense coverage of ProScape help to naturally suppress weeds by outcompeting them for sunlight, water, and nutrients.
Ensure seeds have consistent moisture and good soil contact. Check for extreme temperature fluctuations and adjust watering accordingly. Ensure seeds were not covered too deeply.
Rake out dead grass and reseed these areas. Ensure proper seed-to-soil contact and consistent moisture. Check for underlying soil issues like compaction or poor drainage.
ProScape is designed to suppress weeds, but some may still emerge. Hand-pull young weeds or use a selective pre-emergent herbicide *after* the grass is established (usually after 3-4 mowings).
Check watering frequency and depth. Ensure adequate sunlight, though ProScape is tolerant of various light conditions. Test soil pH and nutrient levels if problems persist.
Setup: For best results, prepare the soil by removing debris and weeds. Loosen compacted soil to a depth of 2-4 inches. Rake the area smooth. Spread the ProScape seed evenly at the recommended rate for your region (typically 2-4 lbs per 1000 sq ft). Lightly rake the seeds into the soil to ensure good seed-to-soil contact, and cover with a thin layer of straw or mulch if desired. Water gently and keep the seedbed consistently moist until germination, which usually occurs within 5-10 days.
Compatibility: ProScape is engineered to thrive in a wide range of conditions, including temperate and warm climates. It is compatible with most soil types but performs best in well-drained soil. It can be overseeded into existing lawns or used for new lawn establishment.
Care: Once established, ProScape requires less frequent watering than many other grass types. Mow at the recommended height for ryegrass (typically 2-3 inches). Water deeply but infrequently during dry periods. Fertilize sparingly, as the blend is designed to be low-input. Monitor for any signs of stress or disease, though its inherent resistance reduces the likelihood of major issues.
