How To Sow A Lawn

Preparation

Time spent preparing the soil before sowing will make a big difference to the quality and resilience of your final lawn.

  • Remove all weeds, surface stones and debris.
  • Dig or relocate the soil to a depth of 15-22cm.
  • Create a level, firm surface by close treading, heel to heel or by rolling the whole area. Rake until the surface soil is fine.
  • If possible leave the area to settle for a few weeks. Level any even areas and remove any weeds that appear.
  • To give the lawn a good start a pre-sowing fertiliser can be ranked in at the recommended rate. Seed should not be sown until 5-7 days after application.

Sowing

  • The best time to sow is when the soil is warming up after a rain shower.
  • Shake the box before sowing half the seed across the area to give even coverage.
  • Sow at the rate of around 35g per M².
  • Rake in the seed. If no rain falls within 1 week, then water thoroughly with a fine spray.
  • The sown area should be kept moist until the seed is well established. Young grass will appear in 14-21 days.
  • Weeds are likely to appear from the soil. These will be killed off with regular mowing.

General Lawn Care

  • If the weather is dry, keep the soil moist with regular watering using a fine spray.
  • Keep off the lawn until the grass is 5-8cm high.
  • Make the first cut at this stage, just 'topping' the grass. Subsequent cuts can gradually be lowered to an ideal height of 25mm. This blend may be cut lower. This will gradually kill off the ryegrass, producing a finer lawn.
  • Mow regularly to maintain a healthy lawn (try not to remove more than one third of the height is any one mow).
  • A good fertiliser should be applied at least once a year as recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Rake off dead leaves in the autumn and spring.
