Sandy Site Mix
Native Grasses to Stabilize Sandy Sites
About Sandy Site Mix
These special mixes include warm and cool season native grasses, designed to fill the need for soil stabilization and protection on sites with sandy soils that are susceptible to wind and water erosion. The grasses collect and hold blowing sediment and snow, which is necessary for them to survive in dryer soil profiles with little organic matter.
Choose from 2 different height options - Mid-Height (up to 3ft) or Tall (up to 5ft). Plant in spring to early summer. Starter fertilizer and irrigation (if available) will help speed germination and establishment.
