Grass did not grow

I mowed, scarifies and aerated my lawn, spread the seeds and dressed with compost. I have watered every other night but nothing at all has grown.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear that your grass did not grow as expected. Germination can sometimes be delayed by recent weather patterns, especially with the combination of dry days and chilly nights we've been experiencing. We understand your frustration, but we'd recommend continuing to water regularly and giving the seed a little more time to take hold.

Just as a reminder, Rye grass typically germinates within 7-14 days, while Fescue can take up to 21 days. If you still have concerns or would like further guidance, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us. We're always happy to help. Thank you for choosing our Hard Wearing Grass Seed and we hope to see some growth soon!

Quality result and support.

I was initially concerned after quite slow growth but to be fair I’m based in Scotland and the seed was sown in spring. I stick with it and took the advice from the good folks at GS online and before I knew it the lawn was coming in strong. It gets better everyday and so far has stood up to the dog and me walking over it. The grass is strong and lush in colour. I won’t be going elsewhere for my seed from now on. Thanks so much.

Thrilled to hear that you are happy with the results of our Hard Wearing Grass Seed and that our customer support was helpful for you. We understand your initial concern and are glad that you stuck with it and took our advice. Our team at GSO is always here to help. We are delighted that your lawn is coming in strong and has stood up to you and your dog walking over it. Thank you for choosing our seed and we look forward to being your go-to for all your grass seed needs.

Grass didn’t germinate

Disappointed that it’s over 30 day since sowing the seeds but most of it hasn’t germinated…, very disappointed

Hard wearing grass seed

Really disappointed. Put grass seed down and watered every day but unfortunately not one bit has taken. Lawn still the same before I started 😞.

Hi Blair,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our Hard Wearing Grass Seed. We're really sorry to hear that you haven’t seen any growth yet, especially after putting in the effort to water it daily - we completely understand how frustrating that must be.

It’s worth noting that the recent mix of warm days and chilly nights can slow down germination a little. We'd recommend keeping up with regular watering and giving it a bit more time. As a guide, ryegrass typically takes 7–14 days to germinate, while fescues can take up to 21 days.

Seed Not Taken

Sorry to say that the seed has not taken at all after 7 days? Despite being sowed on premium soil and watered both early morning and evening. What to do? 😔

Hi Simon, thank you for leaving a review for our Hard Wearing Grass Seed. We're sorry to hear that the seed has not taken after 7 days. We understand your frustration and would like to offer some insight into why this may have happened. It's possible that the recent weather conditions of warm, dry days and cold nights may have affected the germination process. We recommend continuing to water the area and giving the seed some more time to establish. Please note Rye grass take can take anywhere between 7 - 14 days and Fescue can take take upto 21 days.

Our grasses are tried, tested and proven.
