Product Information

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. 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. If possible, leave the soil for a week to allow a flush of weeds to come through;remove before sowing. 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.

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. 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.

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. 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.

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. Optionally, to aid drainage, use a garden fork or aerator to create small holes of around 1-2 inches deep. Spread the grass seed evenly across the area at 35g/sqm.

Cut the existing grass short and almost scalp the lawn with the lawn mower. Remove any dead grass, debris and thatch.
