Benefits of Using Quality Grass Seed For Lawns

• It’ll last longer: Quality grass seed is likely to last longer, as it can withstand foot traffic and survive the changing seasons. It will also provide more disease resistance and tolerance, while providing better summer and winter greenness.
• It’ll look better: Whether you choose a more ornamental grass or one that can handle a lot of use, for a family garden or for sports, selecting a high-quality seed will ensure your lawn looks better, making it a space you want to spend time in.
• It’ll thrive: A high-quality grass seed mix that’s specially created to thrive in specific conditions, such as shade or clay soils, is more likely to be resilient, giving your grass the best chance of thriving and staying healthy.

FAQs

Can you just scatter grass seed on a lawn?

Yes, you can scatter grass seed on your lawn. Make sure to check the seed rate, and don’t be afraid to use a grass seed spreader to make this job easier. For best results, we recommend treading or rolling the area you’ve sown the seed to ensure it’s as close to the soil as possible. We recommend reading our guide on how to prepare your ground for grass seed for all the steps.

What is the best month to sow grass seed?

There is no single best month to sow grass seed. In fact, you have plenty of options, with March to May or September to October being the recommended months. That being said, you can technically sow grass seed for lawns any time of year, but if sowing in the heart of winter, use winter grass seed. If you do get a warm spell, the winter repair mix can be used along with a germination blanket. Sports grounds also use this type of mix for pitch repairs in winter.
