Shadesman+ hardwearing, slow-growing, shade-tolerant lawn turf provides ideal groundcover for gardens where trees, fences or buildings cast shadows for part of the day.

Background

Shadesman+ is the result of decades of careful seed selection and plant breeding. Initially starting with wild grasses that spend most of their year under the snow of alpine meadows, Shadesman+ has been refined, improved and domesticated and has become a well-behaved and beautiful turf lawn grass. Furthermore, over time it has been further developed to create an easy-to-use turf that looks good and thrives in sun or partial shade.

Why choose Shadesman+ for your lawn?

  • Shadesman+ turf looks and feels just like a normal lawn, but won’t lose its colour or its vigour in low light conditions.

  • It also grows relatively slowly, therefore requires mowing around 50% less frequently than budget-grade turf.

  • High shoot density means that a lawn made with Shadesman+ will be thick, luxurious and very hard-wearing.

Each roll of turf covers 1m2 of prepared soil. Harrowden Turf strongly recommends using a pre-turfing fertiliser with Shadesman+ turf.

Please note: Shadesman+ turf will not perform well in the deepest shade. In areas that receive sunlight for less than half the day, you may need to over-seed once a year with our Shadesman+ seed . If you have previously purchased Shadesman Turf prior to 2022 our Shadesman seed would be more suitable.

Coverage

Each roll of Shadesman+ Turf measures 610mm wide by 1,640mm long and covers 1m².
