Grass Seed Lawn Fertilisers & Moss Control

• Lawn Fertilisers: Lawn fertiliser provides essential nutrients directly to the grass seedlings, promoting healthy growth and development. This ensures your lawn gets off to a strong start.
• Moss Control: While moss might look pretty and remind you of whimsical woodland paths, it’s incredibly harmful to lawns. It’s important to deal with moss quickly. We offer a range of moss control products to complement our lawn fertilisers.

Grass Seed FAQs

Can I Sprinkle Grass Seed onto the Lawn?

In short, yes you can just sprinkle the grass seed on your lawn. 

However, it may not be as successful during germination compared to when you prepare your lawn and follow the recommended sowing techniques. Read our grass seeding guide to ensure your grass looks its best.

When is the Best Time to Plant Grass Seed?

For the best results, you should plant grass seed when the soil is moist and warm. 

Between March and October is ideal. The best times are spring, usually from March to May, and early autumn, usually from September to Mid October. 

Read our blog to find out more information on when you should grow grass seed.

How Quickly Does Grass Seed Grow?

If the conditions are ideal for grass seed, most grass species will start growing around 8 to 10 days after they are initially sown. After 6 to 8 weeks your grass should be fully grown.

How to Choose the Right Grass Seed?

The best grass seed for your lawn will depend on a few conditions. It is important to think about the weather conditions of where you live, the amount of sun exposure your lawn gets, what the area of grass will be used for and your soil type. 

At Boston Seeds, we can help you pick the perfect grass seed for your lawn. We have an entire range of lawn seeds for different uses. Or, read our blog on how to choose the best grass seed. Choosing the right grass seed is crucial for achieving a perfect lawn.

When and How to Sow Grass Seed?

Sowing grass seed is a straightforward process that can be done at various times of the year, depending on your location and the type of grass you are growing. 

Here are some tips to help you sow grass seed successfully, or read our blog on how to grow a lawn with ten easy steps.

• Choose the Right Grass Seed: Select the best grass seed for your climate, soil type, and intended use. This ensures optimal growth and a healthy lawn.
• Prepare the Soil: Loosen the soil to a depth of 8-10 inches and remove any debris or weeds. This creates a good seedbed for your grass seed.
• Sow Evenly: Distribute the grass seed evenly and at the recommended rate for your specific seed type. This ensures uniform growth and coverage.
• Rake In: Lightly rake the seed into the soil to a depth of about 1/4 inch. This helps the seed make good contact with the soil.
• Water Thoroughly: Water the seed gently but thoroughly, keeping the soil consistently moist during the germination period. This is crucial for successful germination.
• Overseed in Autumn: To fill in bare patches and thicken your lawn, overseed in the fall. This helps maintain a dense, healthy lawn.

Our Tips for a Healthy and Thriving Lawn

Maintaining a healthy and thriving lawn requires regular care and attention. Here are some tips to help you achieve a beautiful lawn:

• Mow Regularly: Keep your lawn at the right height by mowing regularly, but avoid cutting it too short. This promotes healthy growth and helps prevent weed invasion.
• Water Deeply: Water your lawn deeply but infrequently. This encourages deep root growth, making your lawn more drought-resistant and robust.
• Fertilise Wisely: Use a balanced lawn fertiliser in the spring and summer to promote lush, green growth. This helps maintain a healthy lawn throughout the growing season.
• Weed and Moss Control: Keep weeds and moss at bay by using a pre-emergent herbicide or manually removing them. This ensures your grass has the best chance to thrive.
• Aerate Annually: Aerate your lawn once a year to improve drainage, reduce soil compaction, and promote healthy root growth. This is especially important for lawns with heavy use.
• Overseed in Fall: Fill in bare patches and thicken your lawn by overseeding in the fall. This helps maintain a dense, beautiful lawn year-round.
