Lawn Seeding

Lawn Seeding

Cheshire Lawn Therapy use a range of high quality seed blends including Dwarf Ryegrasses, Bents and Fescues. We select them according to the needs of your lawn whether it be for rapid germination, cold weather conditions or those tricky areas in the shade.

​Seed germination begins within 2/3 weeks. The soil needs to be above 5 degrees celsius with sufficient moisture – either from rain or your sprinkler.

​Mowing can commence 3-4 weeks after seeding as required. However, it must only be cut on a higher setting (3-4cm) until the new grass is fully established.

​To maximise the germination of fresh seed we recommend an application of a fertile soil top dressing.

Benefits of lawn seeding

Lawn seeding offers numerous benefits that extend beyond just aesthetic appeal. A properly seeded lawn can:

1. Improve soil health: The process of seeding introduces new grass varieties, which can help improve soil structure and nutrient cycling.
2. Enhance drought tolerance: Many modern grass seed varieties are bred to be more drought-resistant, reducing water consumption and promoting a more sustainable lawn.
3. Increase density and thickness: Overseeding can help fill in bare or thinning patches, creating a lush, dense lawn that’s resistant to weed invasion.
4. Boost curb appeal: A vibrant, well-maintained lawn can significantly enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of your property, potentially increasing its value.
