Frequently Asked Questions
What makes grass seed ‘luxury’?
Luxury grass seed blends are typically finer-leaved, slower-growing, and designed for a denser, more ornamental finish. They’re often used for show lawns or high-end garden designs where appearance is a top priority.
Is luxury grass seed suitable for everyday use?
Some luxury blends, such as those containing ryegrass, strike a balance between good looks and durability. However, they may not be as hard-wearing as general-purpose mixes, so it's best to avoid heavy foot traffic if maintaining a pristine look is important.
Do I need to mow a luxury lawn differently?
Yes. To maintain the best finish, luxury lawns are often mown shorter and more regularly. Make sure your mower blades are sharp to avoid damaging the finer grass types.
How do I care for luxury grass once established?
Feed regularly with a balanced lawn fertiliser, water during dry spells, and overseed annually to maintain density. Avoid overuse or compaction to keep the surface looking its best.
Can I use luxury grass seed for patching an existing lawn?
Yes, but for best results, match the type of seed to your existing lawn. A luxury seed may look noticeably different if your current grass is coarser or more hard-wearing.
