TURF ADAPTED TO CLIMATE CHANGE!

TURF ADAPTED TO CLIMATE CHANGE!These products require up to 50% less water for your eco-friendly projects or to help obtain credits towards LEED certification, thanks to the careful selection of TWCA certified or A-LIST approved cultivars. These grasses will remain green longer in case of drought, reducing its need for water.
WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF FESCUE?
Note that no grass will tolerate 100% full-shade (In which case, we recommend using an alternate ground-cover

POUR DU GAZON DURABLE
An ecological lawn is also a top soil of sufficient quality, the absence of compaction, higher mowing, reasoned fertilization, the practice of grasscycling, increased tolerance to the phenomenon of dormancy and the presence of weeds. For more information, consult the BNQ implementation standards and the "Sustainable Lawn" website (created by the Association des producteurs de gazon du Québec).
THE BENEFITS
Trees, shrubs, perennials and grassed areas contribute, each in their own way, to increasing the biodiversity of our living environments. The grass species in our lawns are much the same as those found in natural grasslands. These environments help maintain healthy soils by increasing their contribution of organic matter and reducing the risk of compaction, erosion or runoff. They act like a sponge ultra-efficient in case of heavy rainfall and they are home to many microorganisms, insects and animals, in addition to being considered excellent carbon sinks.
A grass maintained longer and/or composed of several species will have an even more positive impact on the environment. In addition, pest attacks, disease incidence and the impact of climate stress will be lower in a more biodiverse environment. The presence of flowers will attract pollinating insects, which are essential for life. A rich ecosystem also promotes resilience to extreme weather events, such as floods. Finally, lawns act as air conditioners by keeping air fresh, participate in water conservation, help control invasive species and decrease habitat segmentation.

THE FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE
Many scientists agree that regenerative agriculture is one of the solutions to fight climate change. At Groupe Richer, for the past ten years, our agronomic team has been adopting new, more eco-responsible farming methods aimed, among other things, at capturing carbon from the air and storing it in our soils.
