The Westland Gro-Sure Smart Lawn Seed Fast Start is designed for homeowners looking to renovate, patch, or overseed thin lawns with high-performance results. Its standout benefit is the proprietary Aqua Gel coating, which boosts germination by managing moisture levels in the soil, though users should note that consistent surface moisture is still required during the initial establishment phase for optimal success.

The best times are early spring once soil temperatures reach 7°C or during early autumn when the soil is still warm from the summer.
Yes, it can be used for new lawns, provided you calculate the total area against the 40m2 coverage limit of the 1.6kg box.
Once the grass is established, it is safe for pets. It is best to restrict access to the patch until the new grass is well-rooted.
Water lightly and frequently enough to keep the soil surface moist; the Aqua Gel will help, but surface dryness will inhibit germination.
No, the Aqua Gel coating is designed to be biodegradable and safe for the environment.
Check if soil temperatures dropped below 7°C or if the seed was allowed to dry out completely. Ensure consistent hydration.
This is often caused by uneven seed distribution. Ensure you use the full 1.6kg for the 40m2 area and maintain consistent moisture across all spots.
While the coating acts as a deterrent, you may need to temporarily cover the area with horticultural fleece if bird activity remains high in your region.
For setup, ensure the soil temperature is at least 7°C before sowing. Use the provided applicator to cover the desired area of up to 40m2. For post-sowing care, keep the area consistently moist but not waterlogged. The Aqua Gel will do the heavy lifting, but the soil surface should not be allowed to dry out completely during the first 14-21 days. Avoid mowing the new grass until it reaches a height of at least 5-8cm, and set your mower blades to a higher setting for the first few cuts to prevent damaging the delicate new shoots.
