Grass Type by Climate

Berechnung

Standardrolle: 1 m² (0,4×2,5 m) oder 0,8 m² (0,4×2 m). Für 100 m²: 100 Rollen + 5% = 105. Rollrasen in Deutschland: 3-8 €/m². Verlegen lassen: +3-5 €/m². Rollrasen ist verderblich — innerhalb von 24 Stunden verlegen und sofort wässern!

Beste Zeit

März-Mai oder September-Oktober. Im Hochsommer: doppelter Wasserbedarf. Deutsche Rasensorten: Spielrasen (strapazierfähig), Zierrasen (feiner), Schattenrasen (unter Bäumen).

⚡ CalcWolf Insight

Do not overlap sod pieces — butt them tightly together. Overlapping creates raised seams and double-thickness spots that dry out and die. Gaps wider than 1/2 inch should be filled with topsoil. Use a lawn roller after installation to press sod firmly against the soil.
