THRIVE: Sandy Soils will see your lawn flourish with its blend of 100% resilient fescues. The trio of fescue species in this mix stabilise quickly in weak and sandy soils to create a long-lasting sward with a strong root structure. Initially a slow-growing mix, once established, you can put reseeding to rest. This drought tolerant mix will thrive in the low nutrient soil conditions that are typical of sandy soils, whilst also creating a lush green lawn.

Overseeding an existing lawn
● Remove any dead grass, weeds or moss by scarifying / raking the area
● Rake the area enough so that the soil is loose and not compact
● Sow the seed at our recommended rate of 35g per m2, by using a seed spreader or your hand
● Rake the seed in after sowing so that the seed is in amongst the soil
● Firm down by foot or by using a roller to improve seed to soil contact
● Water the just-sown seed well
Sowing a new lawn
● Dig the soil over to a depth of 20-25cm
● Remove weeds by hand or use a weed killer
● Add top soil if you believe the soil to be poor quality or unlevel
● Rake the area to get a level seedbed
● Sow the seed at our recommended rate of 50g per m2, by using a seed spreader or your hand
● Rake the seed in after sowing so that the seed is in amongst the soil
● Firm down by foot or by using a roller to improve seed to soil contact

Aftercare
● Continue to water your lawn deeply and daily for the next six weeks, avoiding if there is prolonged rainfall
● Your lawn will take up to 6 weeks to fully establish
● Once there is an even coverage throughout the lawn and grass blades are hitting heights of 5-7cm, your lawn is ready for its first mow on the highest setting
● To keep your lawn healthy, green and disease / weed free, remember to regularly fertilise
