Lawn Information

Planting instructions for new lawns:

1. Cultivate the soil to a depth of 3 to 4 inches (7.6cm to 10cm).

2. A soft, moist soil with a warm environment is best for seed growing. Rake the soil, break up all clods and remove debris and rocks. Create a firm seed bed by lightly rolling.

3. Broadcast seed mixture uniformly.

4. Lightly rake seeds to make sure seeds reach into the soil to a depth of ¼ inch (0.64cm).

5. Water thoroughly with light spray. Soil must be kept moist until new lawn is well rooted. Don't wash seeds away.

6. Do not mow lawn until grass reached 3 inches (7.6cm) in height. Seed rate: 40g per Sq meter (2kgs per 50 Sq meters)

Restoring a lawn

1. Mow as close as possible.

2. Rake out all dead and dry grass (thatch), cuttings and debris.

3. Broadcast seeds uniformly at recommended seed rate.

4. Rake lawn to ensure seeds have reached the soil.

5. Water daily with a light spray and keep soil moist until first mowing.

6. When grass reaches 21/2 inches (6.35cm) mow to 2 inches (5.08cm) like brand new lawn.

7. Seed rate: 20g per Sq meter (2kgs per 100 Sq meters)

Note: A fertiliser is recommended a few weeks after seeds have started to grow to ensure early start and healthy growth.
