Plant description

Quick Lawn is the best all-round mixture using only top varieties of dwarf type perennial ryegrass and creeping red fescues.

Combining a superb fine leaved appearance with excellent wear tolerance, it also benefits from the special seed dressing 'Gromax'. Applied to grass seed, Gromax attracts beneficial bacteria in the soil to the grass roots to further enhance establishment. The treatment is child and pet friendly.

Germination times: New shoots will typically appear within 7-14 days, but it can take a little longer when the ground is colder.

For best results, follow these step by step guides:

To sow a new lawn:
1. Before sowing seed, prepare the soil well by removing any existing weeds, stones and rubbish. Dig it over to a depth of 15-22cm (6-9in) and then level and firm it down by raking, then treading or light rolling.
2. If possible, leave the seed bed for a few weeks before sowing the seeds, and remove any weeds that appear.
3. Moisten the ground, mix the seed and then scatter evenly over the surface. Sow the seed at a rate of 35g per sq. metre (1 ¼ ozs per sq yard), half from left to right, then half from top to bottom for each section. Rake lightly and firm in seed by treading or light rolling.
4. In case of dry weather, use a fine spray to keep seed bed constantly moist.

To overseed an existing lawn:
1. Mow the lawn short, then using a spring tine rake or scarifier, remove dead grass or thatch. If possible spike the lawn with a hollow tine fork and brush in some topsoil to relieve any compacted areas.
2. Moisten the ground, mix the seed and then sow the seed at a rate of 25g per sq. metre (¾ ozs per sq yard), scattering evenly. Alternatively the seed can be mixed with some topsoil and sown by hand to aid distribution and moisture retention.
3. Firm in the seed by treading or light rolling. In case of dry weather use a fine spray to keep seed bed constantly moist.
4. Ideally do not mow existing grass until new grass is growing. If a mow is necessary raise the cutting height.

How to make a new lawn

There’s nothing like a lawn to bring the various elements of a garden together as it’s easy on the eye and helps highlight other more ornamental features. Best of all, it adds much needed space to the garden and provides evergreen continuity too. But a la
