If an ornamental seed mix claims to contain 50% Browntop Bent (Common Bent) and 50% Chewings Fescue, then it really should only contain those grass species. Regardless of your garden or how you tend it, we’ve tested the best grass seeds available for every lawn type, whether you need a lawn that is hardwearing or purely ornamental. To put your mind at ease, all of the seeds I’ve recommended here are of the highest quality and have been formally approved by DEFRA and / or the Sports Turf Research Institute. Weed Control I’ve sowed luxury lawns before and from experience, I know they rarely perform well in shade and most don’t tolerate too much foot traffic either. For a more luxurious lawn that will also withstand moderate wear and tear, a multi-purpose lawn seed will be the most suitable.

Speedy Seed also contains perennial grass, which grows more slowly but doesn’t die off at the end of the year. Foot traffic from you and your family using the garden in the summer may damage the young lawn (less likely to happen in spring or autumn). Soil Erosion Control: Grass is an excellent natural soil erosion controller. The extensive root systems of the grasses in this seed blend help bind the soil together, preventing erosion caused by wind and water. It is particularly beneficial on slopes, embankments, or areas prone to soil erosion.Ryegrass grows fast and requires more frequent cutting and strimming than most other types of grass. I recommended Speedy Seed because some of the grass seed is annual. That means some of the grass will die off within one year. Providing your lawn with a high quality source of nutrients is just as important as sowing new seeds. Once your lawn has matured if recently sown or you’ve filled in all of the patchy areas, you should feed it with a good lawn fertiliser. This grass seed is a mix of several species which give it a few additional characteristics over the first two products. The most important being its ability to grow in the most difficult of conditions and environments. Additionally, this seed produces a fine soft grass that remains hardwearing and will stand up to frequent use.

All of the shade grass mixes I have grown have contained at least one fescue – a variety that is known to thrive in the shade.I have sowed grass in springtime, but I had to water it more often, and I couldn’t use the lawn until mid-summer. I’ve sowed dozens of lawns here in the UK, and I feel the best time of year to grow grass seeds is in the autumn, after the scorching heat of summer but before the frosts. The grass will have time to harden over winter and will be strong enough for foot traffic by early summer. If you have an ornamental lawn that is purely aesthetic and won’t see much use, choose an ornamental seed blend.

The problem is that many novice gardeners don’t know that soil type, seed type and local climate (the typical weather patterns for your area) have a significant impact on the quality of any lawn. Remember, different grasses can be added to an existing lawn to give it a different look or improved characteristics such as better resilience. The Grass People’s SUPERSTAR seed is an all-purpose grass seed that is suited to most climates across the UK. This means that it grows in wet, dry and even shaded environments throughout the year. If you’re currently battling the growth of tough weeds, it’s a great idea to remove them before laying new grass seed. Strong weed killers are readily available online and from retail stores so make sure to get rid of those weeds and give your new lawn the best chance at growth. If you’ve researched grass seed, you will have discovered there are hundreds of different seed mixtures and products available.The phrase ‘best grass seed’ can mean different things to different people. The best for one garden or lawn might not be the best for yours. We follow a detailed, rigorous process to create content that is helpful, factually correct and meets the highest standard of integrity. Whether your lawn is shaded or has dircect sun exposure is also important as some grass seeds grow better in shade. EU regulations legislate that a grass seed mix should be at least 70% – 80% pure. That of course leaves up to 20% – 30% of potential contamination from other grass types and / or weed seeds. Annual grasses are thirsty and I know from experience that they need lots of watering to support the fast growth.
