How GrowTrax™ Helps You Build a Better Lawn

This guide explores how GrowTrax™ products simplify lawn care while ensuring your yard remains lush, durable, and thriving—no matter the season.

Ohio's Climate and Lawn Challenges

Ohio’s transitional climate presents unique obstacles for lawn care: cold winters, humid summers, and occasional droughts can make it difficult to maintain consistent grass coverage.

Traditional seeding methods often struggle with:
Inconsistent germination due to temperature fluctuations
Soil erosion from heavy rain or snowmelt
Compaction in clay-heavy soils found in southern Ohio
Poor moisture retention in sandy soils common in other regions

GrowTrax™ Grass Rolls offer an easy-to-use solution, incorporating premium seed blends, mulch, and fertilizer in a single roll. This combination ensures:
Steady growth even in unpredictable weather
Moisture retention for sandy soils & better drainage in clay-heavy areas
Quick establishment to outcompete weeds and prevent erosion

  • Kentucky Bluegrass: Instead of Kentucky Bluegrass, GrowTrax New Lawn Roll delivers lush, dense coverage that thrives in sunny or partially shaded areas.

  • Fine Fescue: GrowTrax Big Roll for Whole Lawn Shade is an ideal alternative for shaded areas, providing even, vibrant growth under trees or in low-light spots.

  • Perennial Ryegrass: For quick recovery or filling patchy areas, GrowTrax Patch and Repair Roll offers rapid germination and easy application.
