FAQ
What soil temperatures are optimal for sowing fine texture lawn seeds?
The ideal soil temperatures for sowing these seeds are between 10°C and 18°C. This range promotes the best germination rates, typically occurring during early autumn or late spring.
How do I determine the correct sowing rate for my garden?
The recommended sowing rate for our fine texture lawn seed mixes varies between 25 to 35 grams per square metre. This ensures optimal coverage and development of a dense, green lawn.
Can these seed mixes maintain their green appearance during dry periods?
Yes, many of our mixes include varieties with good drought tolerance. While regular watering is beneficial during prolonged dry spells, these grasses are selected for their ability to stay green with minimal water.
Are these lawn seeds suitable for areas with light shade?
Absolutely. Our shade tolerant mixes are specifically designed for areas receiving light shade, ensuring lush growth even under the canopies of trees or beside buildings.
What makes a grass seed mix shade tolerant?
Shade tolerant grasses have adapted to thrive with less direct sunlight. These varieties, often including fine fescues, can perform well in both light shade and partially sunny areas.
How are these mixes resistant to lawn diseases?
Our seed mixes are curated to include disease resistant varieties, reducing the need for chemical treatments. This selection ensures a healthy lawn with less maintenance.
What role do underground stems play in a lawn’s health?
Grasses with underground stems, such as rhizomes, contribute to a lawn’s resilience and density. They help in spreading the grass beneath the soil, filling gaps and repairing patches, which results in a more robust and uniform lawn.
How does the fine texture of these seeds contribute to a lawn’s appearance?
A fine-textured lawn offers a more manicured and elegant appearance, ideal for ornamental gardens or as a soft, inviting ground cover. The fine leaves create a dense, lush surface that feels luxurious underfoot.
Will these seed mixes require frequent watering?
While establishing, it’s important to keep the soil moist. However, once established, our mixes designed for light shade and drought tolerance require less frequent watering, making them an efficient choice for maintaining a green lawn.
How can I ensure my lawn remains dense and healthy throughout the year?
Regular maintenance, including appropriate mowing, fertilisation, and aeration, alongside choosing the right seed mix for your garden’s conditions, will keep your lawn dense and vibrant. Our mixes are formulated to provide a lush, green lawn with minimal upkeep.
These FAQs aim to cover all aspects of selecting and maintaining a fine-textured, shade-tolerant, and disease-resistant lawn, ensuring your garden remains a beautiful and resilient green space.
