Dune StockCoastal nursery / forward allocation
Checking season…

Bare-root culms + plugs / Atlantic & Great Lakes coasts

The beachgrass is easy.
The mix is the hard part.

Bare-root dune grass is lifted only while dormant, 15 November through 15 April. Reserve a named allocation now; we lift it fresh to your delivery week.

No checkout. A written quote comes first. Deposits are invoiced separately and we never collect card or bank details here.

Turn the planting spec
into a bundle count.

Bid documents speak in square feet. Nurseries pack in hundreds. Enter the area and field spacing to close the gap before the February dig list fills.

Rule of thumb

Two culms per hole is standard restoration practice. Use three only on high-energy or overwash-prone faces.

One allocation.
A complete mix.

Beachgrass carries the volume. The contract-grown species close the permit. Availability is stated plainly because delivery certainty matters more than a green badge.

Field notes 07

What gets a dune job
into trouble.

Short answers to the questions that tend to arrive after the bid is won.

Ordering

  • Ordering in July. Summer requests become next-season allocations.
  • Sizing from frontage alone. Multiply frontage by the planted-band depth.
  • Forgetting the mix. If the permit names sea oats, beachgrass alone will not close the job.
  • Losing the receipt. Cost-share reimburses against itemised receipts only.

Planting

  • Setting too shallow. Culms go 8–10 in. deep with a dibble.
  • Fertilising wrong. 16-8-8 or 10-10-10 at roughly 100 lb/acre, split across two passes from 1 Mar to 1 Jun.
  • Over-planning irrigation. In the dormant window, rainfall is normally sufficient.
  • Digging wild stands. Nursery stock performs better and does not put a permit at risk.
