Tips for a healthy lawn

Overseeding your lawn every year will help thicken and improve the appearance of your lawn and is the best way to fight weeds.

  • If your lawn is thin and patchy, overseeding is the best way to fill these bare spots.

Seed germinates best when soil temperatures are 17°C (62°F) or higher.

Water seed consistently for 14 days after planting.

  • Best time to water your lawn is early in the morning
  • Avoid puddles of water when watering
  • Never allow the soil where the seed is planted to dry out

Initial growth of the seedlings should take place between 10 and 14 days providing there is adequate moisture and soil temperature is ideal.

Seed cannot germinate without seed to soil contact.

  • Rake the soil surface before applying seed
  • Avoid burying the seed too deeply
  • Spread the seed evenly
