This hard wearing, easy to establish Cricket Pitch seed mixture is an ideal blend of amenity grass seeds for any Summer Sports playing field or outfield area. The carefully formulated blend includes species and varieties chosen specifically for their high shoot density and improved persistence on most soil types.

Cricket Pitch Seed (or Outfield mixture) produces a dense turf with reliable mid season growth, good disease resistance and better high wear tolerance compared to other more general mixtures, particularly under regular close mowing management.

The amenity ryegrass content responds well to fertiliser inputs for increased speed of recovery between matches. A must for both the amateur and professional groundsman.

Apply Cricket Pitch seed at the lower rate for patching, repair or autumn over-seeding.

Best suited for: High-traffic sports turf and managed playing surfaces where rapid recovery, close mowing tolerance and consistent playing quality are required throughout the summer season under regular maintenance inputs.

There are three important characteristics required from amenity grass seed mixtures intended for a tennis court or lawn. The resulting turf must be resistant to abrasive wear, be uniform and consistent to produce the required playing surface (for regular ball bounce and control). Disease resistance of the grass species and varieties is also high on the agenda and goes a long way towards maintaining a quality playing surface even during hot or humid weather, particularly when the turf is at its most stressed due to frequent summer play.

Our Tennis Court mixture has been carefully formulated to meet all the demanding requirements for uninterrupted use on a well managed turf.

Average Tennis Court = 490 sq m (including baseline and side skirts).

Best suited for: Specialist sports turf surfaces requiring a fine, even sward with high durability under frequent play, where consistent surface quality, reliable traction and performance under intensive maintenance are essential.

The fescues in our Bowling Green Croquet Lawn seed mixture are included to provide a temporary green cover whilst the very fine leaf, slower growing bentgrass becomes established.

In time, the bentgrass will become the dominant species within the turf and slowly knit together between the fescue plants to produce a very fine, dense and presentable bowling croquet lawn.

After initial establishment, cut in various directions to encourage maximum shoot density and to achieve equal and consistent ball travel across the playing surface.

Frequent close mowing is the key to creating and maintaining the highest quality green. The area must be cut at least every other day, ideally with a good quality cylinder mower and be kept at a regular height of between 5mm-10mm.

As with all lawn areas that are being regularly defoliated it is advisable to apply a good quality, slow release, compound fertiliser at least every 8 to 10 weeks during the growing season.

Best suited for: Specialist fine turf installations where precision surface quality, ultra-low mowing tolerance and consistent ball roll performance are required for formal recreational or competitive lawn sports.

100% Bentgrass seed is ideal for creating a new golf green or for over-seeding/repairing an existing area. Agrostis is the best choice of grass species for greens as it is well adapted to very close mowing and provides consistent play on a well managed surface.

Adequate moisture must be supplied during establishment as Bentgrass is very shallow rooted and can suffer during periods of reduced rainfall, even in winter.

The best sowing times for a golf green are during the warmer months as this mixture does appear to establish better in slightly higher temperatures in a firm, damp seedbed.

Allow the seedlings to reach 2 inches in height before the first cut and then only remove a maximum 1/3 of the leaf length. Keep well watered (but not constantly wet) and slowly reduce the cutting height and cutting frequency over the following weeks. A good quality, slow release compound fertiliser not too high in nitrogen should be applied every six to eight weeks, particularly on sandy or free draining soils.

Use at half the recommended sowing rate for overseeding and always apply seed over the entire green area to maintain a more uniform texture and colour.

Best suited for: High-precision fine turf environments requiring ultra-smooth playing surfaces, where intensive maintenance and close mowing regimes are used to achieve professional standard performance characteristics.

Pitch & Putting Green is all in one amenity seeds mixture to produce a general pitching area, green apron and putting surface at home. Once the grasses have become fully established simply maintain at an appropriate leaf length for each required area. For the very best results the pitch & putting green should be cut with a sharp bladed cylinder mower.

This mixture is also ideal for establishing greens in cooler locations and on the more exposed upland courses of the UK as the slender fescue acts as an excellent protective cover grass whilst the slower growing bentgrass and smooth meadowgrass become established.

Best suited for: Home and recreational fine turf areas where a versatile, multi-purpose playing surface is required, combining short-mown performance with reliable establishment in cooler or exposed conditions.

A hard wearing golf tees and driving fairway grass seed mixture for popular courses receiving medium to high foot traffic. This combination of all amenity grass species can produce excellent ground cover and can be utilised from the driving tees through to the apron of the putting greens.

If appropriately maintained this Tees & Fairway mixture is also very well suited to establishing semi rough areas between fairways and outlying deeper roughs.

Use at the higher rate for faster establishment on new sites or at the lower rate for spring and autumn overseeding of existing fairways or any under performing areas suffering damage from repeated wear.

Best suited for: Managed golf course turf areas requiring durable, uniform ground cover under regular play, including tees, fairways and transitional zones where recovery, consistency and year-round surface quality are key priorities.

For the task of reinstating specific worn areas or overseeding an entire playing field, Pitch Repair seed is a simple mixture of three amenity ryegrass varieties which may be used as and when necessary on any hard wearing sports ground or playing surface that may be damaged, worn or thinning due to repeated play.

With fast growing Annual Ryegrass providing quick cover this easy to establish amenity ryegrass blend is the best and most reliable formula for over-seeding in and around damaged areas of an entire sports field, particularly the goal mouth, touch lines and centre line plus outlying spectator areas. Pitch Repair grass seeds may even be applied to the training ground as part of an autumn, spring or on-going maintenance program.

If a problem area continues to persist then it may be worth investigating further to see if an underlying cause is apparent.

For very damaged areas apply Pitch Repair Seed at the higher rate.

This general sportsfield grass seed mixture will produce a hardy dense and compact turf for school or college sports ground, community playing fields or any other designated sportsfield areas requiring a multi purpose grass surface suitable for most summer or winter competitive ball games.

The resulting turf will be relatively fast to establish, offer good resistance to drought or prolonged periods of wet weather and recover well from light damage during the growing season.

For quicker and more uniformed establishment of the Sportsfield Grass Seed mixture sow at the higher rate. Allow the new seedlings to establish to a height of approximately 50 -75mm before initially cutting to 35-50mm. This helps promote tillering of the amenity ryegrass. Thereafter reduce with each mowing until the desired height is obtained.
