Product Questions

I am unsure on what type my current grass is so is it fine to mix in Statement with it when I overseed?

Question by: Archie Raynham on 22 Jul 2021, 21:35

Our STATEMENT: Front Lawn would work to overssed your current lawn. It is slower to grow and more of a “show” grass.

It creates an ornamental lawn that needs a lot of care and attention, but looks extremely fine and very impressive – it is made up of 100% fescue which is finer grass species and will not withstand heavy traffic. This mix can be mown quite short and will be dense to give the soft feeling underfoot.

If you are overseeing (rather disappointing) new turf how do you deal with mowing and the new turf says it wants light mowing on highest cutting twice weekly in June, but new see not for 6 weeks ,am tearing hair out.have already had turf replaced once, I asked for bowling green lawn and they’ve sent football field. Overseeing it is the only answer unless you can help

Hello

I plan on purchasing your Statement and Superstar grass seeds. I was going to purchase your pre-seed fertiliser, but your 20kg bag is way too big for my 40m2 lawn.

Do you suggest any fertilising pre treatment to the ground before sowing the seeds?

Thank you.

Question by: Simon on 29 Mar 2021, 04:39

Whilst it is not essential for seeds to germinate we would recommend a fertiliser if you wish to give the area a boost or your lawn suffers from poor soil.
Our fertiliser will keep for up to four years if stored in a cool dry place.
