When to Sow

Sow grass/lawn seed anytime from March to September. However for best results sow grass/lawn seed from March to May, and in the early autumn. Ideally choose to repair areas when the soil is warm, moist and rain is forecast.

What to Expect?

Grass will start to appear from 4 days onwards in good conditions when the soil is moist.

Before Sowing

Remove any weeds either by hand or by using a selective weedkiller treatment. Then mow the lawn closely before raking or scarifying to remove the moss and any weed remains. If the ground appears hard or compacted aerate using a garden fork. Finally, fill any shallow holes and level the surface.

Sowing

Apply at a rate of 50g/m² (33g/m² for renovation). One handful is approximately 33g. Lightly rake to gently incorporate the seed into the surface.

After Sowing

Rolling: The ground should be rolled or lightly firmed by walking over it and pressing the seed into the soil.

Watering: Water the lawn thoroughly with a fine spray taking care not to wash the seeds away.

Mowing

New growth can be cut for the first time when it is approximately 5-8cm (2-3 in) high. A light trim will be sufficient initially. Gradually lower the blade height to about 2.5cm (1 in), which is ideal.
