Product Questions

If I wanted to blend this with a superstar as asked by another user, what ratio would be used?
Question by: Jonathan CA on 16 Jun 2018, 00:27
It entirely depends on your desired appearance. Statement Front Lawn is 100% fescue grass varieties - all fine bladed grasses. SUPERSTAR: Backlawn is 80% perennial ryegrass and 20% fescues. The ryegrass being a broader leafed, more hardwearing grass. We would recommend a 50:50 ratio.
Answer by: Orla O'Hare on 18 Jun 2018, 16:04
Can this be mixed with your Superstar seed to make a high quality look with some harder wearing qualities or is there a better option?
Question by: Jon on 30 Apr 2017, 08:21
Sorry for the delayed reply - Yes it would be fine it would end up with a mixture of approx 70% finer grasses.
Answer by: Chris McIlroy on 8 May 2017, 10:53
What is the lowest tempreture that the grass seed will start to germinate? For example would it be 5c deg or 15c or other?
Thanking you.
Question by: Alan T on 2 Oct 2017, 16:50
Many thanks for your query. For seed germination soil and air temperatures both need to be considered.
In theory soil temperatures should be no lower than 6 degrees centigrade for grass seed to germinate.
Ultimately root development is dependent on growth rate which is dependent on the weather conditions.
Answer by: Orla O'Hare on 1 Nov 2017, 11:31
How long does this take to germinate? Would it cope in some shade?
Question by: Richard West on 16 Mar 2017, 18:26
Depending on the temperature and weather germination is normally 5-10 days.
This mixture will work fine with dappled shade from trees however if you are talking about conifers/thick leaved trees etc. or walls/buildings you should consider a shaded mixture.

Do all of your grass seeds have a coating to help them germinate?
Question by: Simon on 7 May 2017, 20:25
Hi, Coating grass seeds does make germination quicker, we use fresh viable seeds which will germinate quickly and well. We believe this is best approach to great grass!

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, 20:35
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.

How does the bottom metal clip work?
Question by: Lorna Lappert on 9 Mar 2023, 10:37
Hi, thank you for your question.

The metal clip allows you to remove the front panel for cleaning. You need to bend the clip down, then lift the panel up slightly and it should remove easily.

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, 03:39
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.
