Whether your lawn suffers from deep shade, direct scorching sun, heavy wear, or dry soils under trees, this smart formulation adapts to succeed. Coated in advanced Aqua Gel technology, the seed absorbs up to 400 times its weight in water and slowly releases it to prevent drying out, ensuring outstanding germination rates and a resilient, lush green turf. Prepare the target area by removing weeds, clearing stones, and gently raking the soil to create a fine, loose, and level surface. Scatter the seed evenly over the prepared soil at a rate of 25g per square metre for overseeding, or 35g per square metre for establishing a brand-new lawn. Lightly rake the scattered seed into the soil surface and ensure the seeds make firm, direct contact with the ground. Keep the newly sown area moist by watering daily with a fine-spray sprinkler during dry spells. The bright protective Aqua Gel coating makes the seed highly visible on the soil, serving as a safe, natural deterrent to keep birds from eating your seed. Supplied in a convenient 25m2 box, it is perfect for addressing seasonal patch repairs or smaller garden spaces.
Westland Gro-Sure Smart Lawn Seed is designed for homeowners and gardeners seeking a high-performance, adaptable grass blend that thrives in difficult conditions like deep shade, intense sun, or dry soil. Featuring advanced Aqua Gel technology, the seed locks in moisture to significantly improve germination rates, though users should be prepared for the consistent watering requirements needed during the initial establishment phase.

Troubleshooting
Seeds are not germinating
Ensure the soil remains consistently moist and that the seeds had direct contact with the soil during the initial sowing process.
Birds are still eating the seeds
Ensure the seeds are lightly raked into the top soil layer; while the color acts as a deterrent, physical coverage provides the best protection.
Patchy growth pattern
This is often caused by uneven spreading. Use the visible Aqua Gel coating to ensure uniform distribution across the entire patch next time.
