Grass Seed Help

[richo106]

Hi All

 

As you might of seen from my other posts I have just had my patio done, to make my patio work and look right I have had to have a quite large of the garden built up with top soil which i want to turn back into a grass lawn.

Could any one recommend some grass seed they have used in the past? Also do i need to fertilise the soil first?

 

Can you buy pre mixed seed and fertiliser mix at all?

 

Any advice/suggestions/information much appreciated

I usually buy paddock seed mix for the grazing in the fields from boston seeds, pretty sure they'll have an amenity mix that would suit.

These guys are really helpful. I used them for all sorts of stuff over the years.

Found these guys to be very helpful. My partner had always struggled keeping a lawn (many on her estate had the same issue). I gave them a call and they suggested their "childs playarea seed" and it worked great.

Which mix depends on use lawn is going to get.

Can sow up to middle of October , but the sooner it's sown the better the cover over the winter months.

If sown very late, it will be better if you keep off it till spring.
