What to Expect

In good conditions blades of grass can usually be seen in under 3 weeks, however, if the conditions are unfavourable this may take considerably longer.

When to Use

Lawn seed may be sown from March to October. Ideally sow during March to May or September to October. Lawn seed grows best when the soil temperature is consistently around 10—18°C. If conditions stray out of this range, time and rate of germination can be negatively impacted

How to Sow a New Lawn

1. Prepare the soil by clearing away any debris and weeds
2. Dig over the soil, breaking down any lumps and tread the soil to firm it again. Level with a rake
3. Shake the box to mix up the seeds. Sprinkle in 2 passes at right angles to each other at rate of 30g/sq. m
4. Lightly rake into the surface

How to Thicken an Existing Lawn

1. Remove any weeds. Mow the lawn closely. If the ground is compacted aerate using a garden fork
2. Spread Westland Lawn and Turf Dressing to fill any shallow holes and to level-out the surface
3. Shake the box to mix up the seeds. Sprinkle in 2 passes at right angles to each other at rate of 25g/sq. m
4. Lightly rake into the surface

After Sowing

Lightly firm the ground by walking over it or use a roller. This will press the seed into the soil
Water thoroughly using a fine-rose watering can or sprinkler, taking care not to wash the seeds away
Water daily until established. In very hot conditions water late in the day once the sun has gone down. It is better to water thoroughly once rather than several times lightly
Mow for the first time when grass is 5-8cm high. Gradually lower the cutting height to about 2.5cm
After 8 weeks we recommend feeding with Aftercut Ultra Green Plus Lawn Feed

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Should I cover the seed?
A. The seed should be sown onto and lightly raked in to the soil surface and no deeper than 1-2cm. A germination sheet (or fleece) can be used to speed up the germination stage but should still be removed upon emergence

Q. When can I use a Weed Feed & Moss Killer?
A. Your lawn must be older than a year before using this type of product

Q. Does this contain ryegrass?
A. This mixture contains a blend of fine leaf fescue varieties, no ryegrass

Q. Can I use this blend in a high wear area?
A. This mixture does not thrive in areas with a lot of foot traffic, it is much better to sow it in a show area with little to no foot traffic where the grass can establish and grow
