1. Preparing your lawn
Your soil sets the foundation for the successful growth of your new seedlings.
Failing to adequately prepare your lawn can lead to poor germination, weak growth, and an uneven result overall.
Follow the below tips to ensure your lawn is prepared effectively:
- Clear the soil of any existing weeds, debris, and rocks
- If you are overseeding an existing lawn, mow it to a short height of 1.5 inches
- Loosen the top 2-3 inches of soil using a rake for optimal seed-to-soil contact
- If you are creating a new lawn, prepare the soil by ensuring it is firm and level
2. Sowing Thick & Thriving Grass Seed
Giving your seeds the best possible start requires careful planning and preparation.
By carefully timing your planting and following best practices, you can make sure your seeds germinate and establish successfully.
Here is how you can sow your seeds effectively:
- Choose the right time. The best time to sow grass seeds is in spring or early autumn when temperatures are moderate
- Measure and spread. Accurately measure your lawn to ensure you are using the correct amount of seed. Always use the recommended seed rate based on your application
- Use a spreader. Using a broadcast or drop spreader can ensure even distribution of seed and prevent over or under-seeding in areas
- Lightly rake. Carefully rake over the surface after sowing to make sure your seeds are slightly covered with no more than ¼ inch of soil
- Add water. After sowing, you should water your seeds to moisten the soil. Do not overwater as this can cause waterlogging
3. Maintaining your new lawn
Providing your new seeds with regular care after sowing is key to their growth and development.
To ensure they continue to thrive, you should carry out the following tasks:
- Keep the soil moist during germination (typically 7-14 days)
- Water lightly and frequently, approximately 2-3 times daily, until the seedlings have established
- Ideally, you should water your seeds in the morning so the soil can dry out throughout the day
- Mow the grass once it has reached a height of 3-4 inches and avoid cutting more than a third of the grass height at once
- Apply a balanced fertiliser 4-6 weeks after seeding to provide your established seeds with the nutrients they need
