Finest Lawn Grass Seed (Ryegrass-Free)

If you're aiming for a fine, ornamental lawn (like a formal garden or croquet lawn), ryegrass-free mixes using fescues and bentgrasses create a softer, finer, more traditional sward. Our Finest Lawn grass seed mix is designed to provide a very fine-textured lawn that requires minimal maintenance, albeit with a lower wear tolerance. 

Key Features:

• Free from ryegrass species for a fine-textured finish
• Low maintenance, ideal for less demanding lawns
• Lower wear capacity, best suited for light traffic areas
• Sow at 35–50g/m2

60% Creeping Red Fescue
30% Chewings Fescue
5% Smooth Stalk Meadow Grass
5% Highland Bent

- Clear the area. Remove debris, stones, and weeds.

- Prepare the soil. Loosen to 15cm.

- Level the surface. Use a rake to smooth, firm with a roller if needed.

 - Allow settling. Let the soil rest for a week and remove emerging weeds then, rake the soil lightly to loosen the top layer.

 - Sow your grass seed. Spread the grass seed evenly at 35-50g/m2 using a spreader.  

- Incorporate the seed. Rake gently, then roll or tread to ensure good contact with the soil.

- Water regularly. Lightly water every evening during dry periods.

- Mow when ready. Mow the grass once it reaches 3-4 inches, gradually lowering the cut height.

- Feed lightly, if needed. Apply a low-nitrogen
lawn feed once the lawn is established, especially in poor soils.

- Control weeds manually. Avoid herbicides in
the first 6 months, hand-weed or spot-treat if necessary.

- Aerate as needed. In compacted or high-traffic areas, consider aerating in spring or autumn to improve root health.

- Monitor and reseed bare patches. Overseed thin areas in early autumn or spring to maintain full coverage.
