Grass seeds
With grass seeds, or lawn seeds, you get a seed mixture that quickly starts to germinate after sowing. The grass seeds create a dense and durable lawn that can withstand all the summer garden games. You can also use our grass mix to reseed the lawn where it has become worn.
Things to consider when sowing grass seeds
When sowing your grass seeds, there are a few things that can be good to consider to achieve the best possible result.
The right time
Choose the right time to sow your grass seeds. The best time is usually in the spring or early autumn when the soil is warm and moist. You should avoid sowing grass seeds when it’s very hot or cold.
Prepare the ground
Make sure the ground is free of weeds, rocks, and roots and that the surface is level before you start sowing.
Sow evenly
To get an even lawn, it is important that you sow the grass seeds evenly over the surface. One tip is to use a spreader to distribute the grass seeds evenly and efficiently.
Cover, water, and fertilise
After sowing, you should cover the grass seeds with a thin layer of soil to protect them. Then water regularly to ensure the soil stays moist. Once the seeds have started to germinate, you can fertilise to further strengthen the grass.
Grass fertiliser
With grass fertiliser, you get a strong, green, and dense lawn. The grass fertiliser is quickly absorbed by the roots of the grass and improves the nutrient content of the soil, resulting in strong and healthy grass.
Topdressing
With topdressing, you give the lawn a boost of nutrients for a longer period. Topdressing makes the soil more favourable for the grass to grow in, reduces the risk of moss growth, and promotes the development of a strong root system for the grass.
Grass and fertiliser FAQs
When is the best time to sow grass seed?
The best time to sow grass seed is during spring and early autumn, depending on your climate. The soil must be moist and the temperature should be mild to give your grass seeds the best conditions for growth.
How often should I fertilise my lawn?
How often you should fertilise your grass depends on several factors, including the grass variety, climate, and soil nutrient level. Generally, it is recommended to fertilise the lawn 2-4 times per year. It is common to fertilise in the spring to promote early growth, and again in late summer or early autumn to support grass overwintering and prepare it for winter.
How can I improve the thickness and density of my lawn?
To improve lawn thickness and density, consider using high-quality grass seed mixes that are tailored to your region, as well as techniques such as scarifying and topdressing. Regular mowing and watering properly can also promote healthy lawn growth and density.
