Grass Seeding Lawns

Lawn seeding is a cost effective alternative to turfing. Lawn seeding is a similar operation to field seeding except the seed rate is much higher and the costs involved per metre squared are therefore higher.

Seed is planted using specialized machines for the high seed rate, which produce good coverage and growth. Seedbeds are tillered to a higher grade to produce a finer and more level seedbed.

As with all soil used for crop production any soil to be sown with grass seed needs to be in good health. The Ph needs to be at an optimum and nutrient levels must be good. A soil test before starting to plant is often useful in order to be sure of the quality of your ground.

It is recommended to add a fertiliser to the seedbed after planting to encourage grass growth.
