The best time to sow our Quality Fine Lawn Seed is from March-October, when the soil temperature is around 8-10 degrees. Under optimum conditions, the seed should germinate within 14-21 days from sowing. High-quality, creeping fescue recommended by the STRI for useon golf courses and summer sports pitches. To achieve your best possible lawn, it is important to follow the guidelines on how to sow your grass seed. Grass seed requires warmth, moisture and light to germinate. Typically, autumn will provide more favourable conditions for sowing in terms of moisture, however, if there is a period of drought, manually watering the seeds will be beneficial – this can be done every other evening to allow the moisture to soak into the soil.

If going through a period of drought, water the area every other evening for the first couple of weeks. If regular rainfall, manual watering won’t be needed. HARD WEARING GRASS SEED – It is a specifically designed hardy germination mix making it perfect for regularly used lawns & high traffic areas. It includes rye grass to provide a tough & durable lawn to last throughout the year – perfect for family gardens with children and pets who love to play. Under optimum conditions, the seed should germinate within approximately 14-21days. Once it reaches 3-4 inches, cut the lawn for the first time, gradually lowering the height with each subsequent cut as desired. Fine-leaved, creeping fescue species, recommended by the Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI) for premium-qualitylawns. Optionally, to aid drainage, use a garden fork or aerator to create small holes of around 1-2 inches deep.

If going through a period of drought, water the area every other evening for the first few weeks. Ifregular rainfall, manually watering will not be necessary. After this process, there may be some bare patches amongst your lawn – this is the perfect time to overseed when the soil temperature is optimum and moisture is plentiful. We recommend overseeding with the same grass seed mixture as you have previously sown for a uniform appearance. Rake the area to loosen the top layer of soil. Apply our Pre-Seeding Lawn Fertiliserand rake into the soil. Spread the grass seed evenly across the area at 35g/sqm. A spreadercan be used for accurate application. Spread the grass seed evenly across the area at a minimum of 20g/sqm. A spreadercan be used for accurate application.

On a newly established area (under 5 months old), avoid using a moss killer as this will be too strong for the lawn. Instead, rake over the area to loosen and remove the moss and add further seed if required.If you find that weeds appear during establishment, these will generally be taken out by regular mowing once the lawn has reached around 3-4 inches in height. If the weeds are recurring, after 4 months, a Selective Weedkiller can be applied which will kill common lawn weeds, whilst leaving the existing grass unharmed.
