Application Use Cases
EuroGrass Pro Bent is designed specifically for high-performance turf surfaces that demand precision, resilience, and a professional finish. It’s best suited to golf greens, tees, tennis courts and bowling greens, where a dense, even sward is essential.
Whether you're carrying out a full construction project or simply renovating after seasonal wear, this bent grass blend offers excellent results. It’s also ideal for annual overseeding programmes to help maintain surface uniformity and playing consistency across fine turf areas.
In addition to traditional greenkeeping uses, this mix may also be used in fine turf nurseries, high-end landscape installations, or show gardens where a refined finish is required. However, it’s not recommended for general lawns or low-maintenance amenity turf, as it performs best under professional care with regular mowing and feeding.
If you're managing fine turf surfaces and need bentgrass for bowling greens or bentgrass for golf greens, EuroGrass Pro Bent is built for the job.
Maintenance
To get the best from bentgrass, proper preparation and ongoing maintenance are essential. Begin by creating a fine, firm, and well-drained seedbed. Lightly rake or brush the bentgrass seed into the surface, ensuring good seed-to-soil contact without burying it too deeply.
Keep the surface consistently moist during germination. Under suitable conditions, you can expect emergence in 10 to 21 days. Once the grass reaches around 6mm, begin mowing gradually to encourage density. For long-term maintenance, aim for a regular cutting height of 4–5mm to keep the sward tight and uniform.
Feeding should include a balanced fertiliser programme, with additional iron or potassium as needed to enhance colour and disease resistance. Regular top dressing, scarifying, and verti-cutting will support the sward structure and promote air and nutrient movement within the turf.
This fine bentgrass seed performs best in open, well-managed areas. Avoid sowing in heavy shade or on poorly drained soils without first improving conditions. With the right inputs, this blend delivers the precise finish required for modern, high-quality greens.
FAQs
Why Choose Bentgrass?
Bentgrass is widely recognised as the grass of choice for elite-level turf surfaces. Its naturally fine texture, dense growth habit, and tolerance to very close mowing make it ideal for golf greens, tees, lawn tennis courts and bowling greens, where surface quality is a priority.
As a cool-season species, bent grass thrives in the UK climate to deliver consistent colour and performance throughout the growing season. It recovers well from wear and tolerates the regular mowing, feeding, and top dressing that professional turf demands.
One of the key benefits of bentgrass for golf greens is its ability to form an even, compact sward that produces a smooth ball roll which is essential for both playing quality and presentation. When managed correctly, it can be cut as low as 4mm without losing density or visual appeal.
Whether you’re building a new green or maintaining an existing one, fine bentgrass seed offers the performance, responsiveness, and aesthetic finish needed for top-level turf.
What’s the best time of year to sow bentgrass in the UK?
The ideal times are spring (March to May) or late summer into early autumn (August to September), when soil temperatures are stable and moisture levels support germination.
Can I use this for full establishment or just overseeding?
EuroGrass Pro Bent is suitable for both. Use 5–10g/m² for full seeding or 5g/m² for overseeding fine turf areas.
How quickly does bentgrass germinate?
Germination usually takes 10 to 21 days, depending on temperature and moisture. Consistent surface moisture is key during this period.
How low can this be mown?
This bent grass for greens can be maintained at 4mm or lower, making it ideal for high-precision playing surfaces.
What maintenance is required?
Bentgrass requires intensive management. Regular mowing, feeding, top dressing, and surface treatments like scarifying or verti-cutting are needed to keep the turf healthy and uniform.
