FAQs

When is the best time to sow Westland Gro-Sure Hardwearing Lawn Seed?

The best times to sow are spring (March to May) and early autumn (September to October) when soil temperatures are favorable for germination and there is adequate moisture.

How often should I water the newly sown seed?

You should water gently and consistently, ensuring the seedbed remains moist but not waterlogged, until the grass is well-established. This may mean watering daily in dry or warm weather.

Can this seed withstand heavy dog traffic?

Yes, this blend is specifically designed to tolerate pet usage and high traffic areas, helping to maintain a healthy lawn even with pets.

How long does it take for the seed to germinate?

Germination typically takes between 7 to 21 days, depending on soil temperature and moisture levels.

Will this seed grow in shaded areas?

While this is a hardwearing seed, it performs best in full sun to partial shade. For heavily shaded areas, a seed mix specifically designed for shade might be more appropriate.

How do I maintain a lawn seeded with Gro-Sure Hardwearing?

Maintain by mowing regularly (but not too short), watering deeply during dry spells, and feeding with a lawn fertilizer in spring and autumn.

Troubleshooting

Poor germination

Ensure the seedbed was kept consistently moist during germination. Check that seeds were sown at the correct depth and not too deep. Verify that birds have not consumed the seeds.

Patchy growth

This can be due to uneven sowing, inconsistent watering, or soil compaction. Aerate compacted areas and ensure even seed distribution and watering.

Weeds appearing

Ensure the soil was thoroughly cleared of weeds before sowing. For established weeds, consider a selective weedkiller after the lawn has fully established (check product instructions).

Yellowing grass

This is often due to lack of nutrients or insufficient water. Apply a suitable lawn fertilizer and ensure adequate watering, especially during dry spells.

  • Requires consistent watering during initial germination.

  • Not specifically formulated for extreme drought resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the soil by removing weeds and debris. Loosen the soil to a depth of about 10cm.
  2. Rake the area smooth, breaking up any large clumps.
  3. Sow the seed evenly at the recommended rate (check packaging for specific details, typically around 35g per square meter).
  4. Lightly rake the seed into the soil (about 1-1.5cm deep).
  5. Gently firm the soil using a roller or by treading.
  6. Water gently and consistently, especially during dry spells, to keep the seedbed moist until germination.

Compatibility: This seed is suitable for most soil types and garden conditions, particularly those experiencing high foot traffic or pet activity. It is designed for outdoor lawns.

Care:

  • Mowing: Begin mowing when the grass reaches about 5-7cm in height. Use a high mower setting for the first few cuts. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade at a time.
  • Watering: Water deeply during dry periods, especially in the first year, to encourage deep root growth.
  • Fertilizing: Use a balanced lawn fertilizer in spring and autumn to maintain health and color.
