Product Information

Optionally, to aid drainage, use a garden fork or aerator to create small holes of around 1-2 inches deep. 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. BS Quality FineLawn Seed is a ryegrass-freegrass seed mixture containing high-quality, fine-leaved fescues and bentgrass. Perfect for ornamental, luxury front lawns and creating a distinctive striped finish.

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. Spread the grass seed evenly across the area at 35g/sqm. A spreadercan be used for accurate application.Allow your lawn to grow to around 3-4 inches in height before cutting your lawn. This can be reduced by half an inch each time until you reach the desired height. An established lawn sown with our Quality Fine Grass Seed can be cut as low as 10-20mm. It is important to remove the grass cuttings as dead grass will prevent sunlight from getting to the new grass.

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. Regularly fertilising your lawn will provide it with the nutrients it requires to stay lush and green all year-round. 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. Rake the area to loosen the top layer of soil. Apply our Pre-Seeding Lawn Fertiliserand rake into the soil. Moss can become problematic in areas that are particularly damp and shady. Moss Killer is best applied during March-October when moss is actively growing.Fine-leaved, creeping fescue species, recommended by the Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI) for premium-qualitylawns.
