- 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.

1. Is this grass seed suitable for shaded gardens?
Yes, this blend is a great choice if your garden gets a bit of shade. Hardwearing Lawn Seed is more tolerant of lower light levels, so even those tricky corners under trees or along fences can become lush and green with the right care.

2. Will Hardwearing Lawn Grass Seed give me a good-looking lawn as well as durability?
Absolutely. One of the lovely things about this mix is that you don’t have to sacrifice appearance for strength. It creates a lawn that not only stands up to regular use but also has a neat, vibrant finish—ideal if you want something that’s both practical and pleasing to the eye.

3. Do I need to do much to keep a hardwearing lawn looking good?
Not really! This mix has low maintenance needs, much like a standard lawn, but it offers a bit more toughness. With regular mowing and the odd bit of feeding, Hardwearing Lawn Grass Seed will keep your garden looking loved, even if your schedule’s a bit hectic.
