When is the best time to sow grass seed?
Spring and autumn are usually the best times to sow seed but the ground needs to be kept moist either by rainfall or watering once the seeds are sown. The soil also needs to be warm with a ground temperature of 6-8°c for the seeds to germinate. This is usually when the air temperature is consistently above 10°c. If you have no preference, autumn sowing is generally favoured as the ground will have had the summers warmth, there is usually good rainfall in autumn and the weed growth is slowing down. It is also ideal to sow after rainfall and when rainfall is forecast if watering is not an option.
How do I sow a new lawn?
Pick a calm day for sowing so that the seeds don’t blow and land unevenly on the soil. Divide the area in to metre square sections. Measure out 50g and then split this quantity in half. Sow 25g across the metre from left to right and the other 25g from front to back. This ensures good coverage. If the area is very large, you can use a seed spreader which can be bought from a local garden centre or online. Repeat on all sections and if rain is not forecast imminently, water the area using a fine spray to ensure the seed doesn’t get moved or washed away.
How do I pick the correct grass seed mix for a lawn?
Consider the location and usage of your lawn. Is it shaded, or does it receive a lot of foot traffic from children or pets? Whether you're aiming for a decorative lawn or one built to withstand heavy use, there are mixes for every need.
I have bare patches in the lawn. How do I get rid of these?
Repairing bare patches can be done in either spring or autumn but autumn is favoured. Bare patches can be repaired by raking the bare area and sowing the seed at the new lawn rate. Tread the seed in to the ground and then water the area with a fine spray. Keep the area moist to assist germination and keep off the patches for approximately 6 weeks to give the seed the chance to grow.
My new lawn is starting to grow. How soon can I use it?
It’s important to stay off the new lawn for at least 6 weeks to allow the seedlings to establish. Growth rates can vary depending on conditions, so avoid rushing its use to prevent damaging the new seedlings.
