Only received 4.8kg when I weighed it, including the bag so probably less!
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the short delivery of our grass seed. It is not our intention to short ship our customers. Our bag filling machinery is regularly calibrated and certified to ensure accurate weights. We would be happy to send out another 1.75Kg (our smallest pack size) to make up for the difference in this instance. Thank you for your understanding. Please contact us to arrange shipping.

This is the second time we've used this grass seed (on different areas) and we've been very happy with the results on both occasions. The areas are in shade for a lot of the day but the grass has grown well.
Thank you so much for your positive review. We're thrilled to hear that our grass seed has been successful in shaded areas for you not just once, but twice! It's great to know that our product is performing well in those conditions. Thank you for choosing our grass seed and we hope it continues to thrive in your shaded areas. Have a great day!

Pleased with the outcome so far. But very patchy and erratic in germination Some areas will need reseeding in the autumn 👍
Thank you for taking the time to post the photos - pictures look great! The patches should fill in fairly quickly - they are just caused by minor differences in moisture/firmness in the soil which affect the germination.

Shade seed is germinating despite the late sewing and despite the recent week long heatwave in the UK. Not sprouting yet in the sunnier areas but willing to give it time. The packaging for the big 5k bag also seems like it has eco credentials which is attractive.
We're glad to hear your shady garden is thriving! Thanks for highlighting the eco-friendly packaging. Wishing your sunnier areas success soon.

Next to zero germination over 4 weeks.
Thanks for letting us know — sorry to hear you’ve seen little germination after four weeks. The weather conditions so far this spring have been far from ideal and germination can be affected by things like soil temperature, moisture levels and how the seedbed was prepared, so we’re more than happy to help look into what might have happened. If you’d like to get in touch, we can go through it with you and help get things growing properly.

The new grass hasn’t come up particularly well. Weather I know has been iffy. It’s been sewn for three weeks. I wait in hope.
Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that the new grass hasn't come up as well as expected. The weather can definitely play a role in the growth of the grass. We recommend giving it some more time, as it can take up to 6 weeks for full growth. Hang in there, and we hope to hear some positive updates soon!

First time using grassseed online and the experience has been awesome! I have a medium sized lawn with tree and hedge shade along side full sun areas. I opted for shaded area grass seed as the description said it would also grow well in full sun. I'm new to reseeding so this is by no way the actions of an expert. Just someone who researched well. I scarifier, raked,airated and watered with iron sulphate. I then fertilised and levelled with topsoil and a lute. Seeded heavily everywhere so that the pigeons wouldn't make a dent in the quantity. I then lightly rollered the seed in and put down a thin blanket layer of topsoil. I completed this task around the end of April. Scarifying absolutely destroyed the lawn and took it back to bare soil in many areas but I trusted the process and watered 3 times a day every day so that the seed was nicely saturated but not drowned. Well... the result is exceptional ! My lawn is now thick and lush EVERYWHERE! It took on average 12 days for the seed to germinate but in some very shaded areas it took up to 20 days. The results are amazing! I have a few 'hand sized' patches here and there but not many. These will get sorted out through the summer. I ordered 20kg of seed and I have a 300sqm lawn area. I used about 3/4 of the bag. This stuff is awesome. The full sun areas are also thriving. Definitely worth the money .
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review of our Grass Seed for Shaded Areas. We're really pleased to hear it's worked well for you in both shaded and sunny areas. It sounds like you put in a lot of care and effort, and we're glad to hear it paid off. Thanks again for choosing our seed and for sharing your experience. Happy gardening!

Not the result I was hoping for
The growth has been very slow after 3 weeks and barely noticeable in many areas
Not happy…..

From purchase to delivery to aftercare the service is very easy and personal.
The seeds were sewn onto newly graded soil and have taken very well!
Would certainly use again and recommend.
