Product Info:
Most lawns require an occasional top up of grass seed to keep them in first class condition. Lawns may thin out due to plant losses after a cold or wet winter (ref: above picture), extended periods of dry weather or just from the general wear and tear of everyday use. The slender leaved grass species in our lawn repair mixture may be used for patching up a damaged area or overseeding an entire lawn, particularly after thatch removal or general scarifying to encourage quick infill and a dense, even turf. A good quality lawn seed mixture of fine leaf fescue and bentgrass will re-establish unoccupied areas leaving little or no space in a turf for weed invasion and retain good year round colour.
Overseeding lawn seed is one of those unfortunate jobs which requires making a turf look worse before it looks better as the surface requires vigorously scratching over (scarifying) to expose some soil as a seedbed. This action must be implemented simply because small lawn seeds need to be in intimate contact with soil and moisture to successfully germinate and establish. Once overseeding has been carried out it is very important to roll or tread the sown area firm again to consolidate the seedbed and further guarantee the applied grass seed is in good contact with the soil.
