Here is our guide on how you can get the most out of this product:
1. Preparing the soil
Before you start sowing, you need to ensure that you have prepared your soil.
Healthy soil can support your seedlings germination and development, resulting in a thick and lush lawn.
Here are the steps you should take to ensure it is an environment that will help your seedlings thrive:
- Clear the soil of any debris, weeds, and stones
- Loosen the top 2-3 inches of soil, using a rake for optimal seed-to-soil contact
- If soil is compacted, you may need to aerate your lawn before sowing seeds
- If you are creating a new lawn, make sure the soil is firm and even before sowing
2. Sowing Lush & Luxe Grass Seed
When it comes to sowing grass seed, timing and technique are crucial to achieving a vibrant lawn.
Ideally, you want to be sowing your grass seeds in spring or early autumn, as these seasons offer warm soil temperatures and adequate moisture, promoting optimal seed germination.
Here are our tips for sowing grass seed effectively:
- Keep it even. To achieve a full and lush lawn, ensure that the seeds are sown evenly across the soil. You can use a broadcast or drop spreader to help with dispersing seeds uniformly
- For the larger lawns. If you have a larger lawn, you may find it easier to divide and conquer by splitting it into smaller sections to distribute your seedlings
- Lightly rake. Once your seeds have been sown, you should lightly rake across the soil surface to cover them. Ideally, you want to cover them with no more than ¼ of soil
- Avoid over-raking. Too much raking can bury the seeds too deep and hinder their germination
- Gently water. Throughout germination (typically 10-14 days), you should aim to keep the soil moist by watering lightly
3. Maintaining your new ornamental lawn
Ongoing care and maintenance is essential for establishing a healthy and resilient lawn with our Lush & Luxe Grass Seed.
Here are some key practices to follow:
- Keep off the grass. New grass can be extremely delicate and can easily be damaged by foot traffic. Try to keep pets and little ones off your lawn until your seeds are well established
- Mow regularly. Once your lawn has reached around 3-4 inches in height, it’s time to mow. Ensure your mower blades are sharp and set high to provide a clean cut on this fine-textured grass
- Nourish your lawn. Apply a well-balanced fertiliser to your lawn seasonally to ensure it is getting the essential nutrients it needs. Fertilising your grass regularly encourages strong root development and makes your lawn more resilient against diseases
