Yates Survivor Lawn Seed Blend

Yates Survivor Lawn Seed consists mainly of turf type tall fescue which is well suited to surviving hot and dry periods through summer. Tall fescue develops a deep root system so it requires less watering than other grasses once established, and will grow into a healthy, attractive, low maintenance lawn. Performs well in full sun or partial shade areas.

4 easy steps to a beautiful new lawn

Prepare the soil by digging to a depth of 10-15cm, rake and level to produce a firm and even surface. If soil is acidic, add Yates Garden Lime ensuring pH is between 6-7.
Leave area for approximately two weeks or until weeds begin to germinate. Light watering will be required to initiate weed germination. After weeds have started to germinate, spray the entire area with RoundupÂ® Weedkiller Concentrate. This ensures your lawn will not have to compete with weeds for nutrients while establishing.
Once the weeds have died off, lightly rake over the area to loosen the soil. First spread Yates Dynamic LifterÂ® Lawn Food, then Yates Lawn Seed. Scatter first half in a North-South direction and the remaining half in an East-West direction and lightly rake over. Note: Wear gloves when handling seed. Wash hands after use.
Avoid traffic, including pets, on the area until the lawn is well established. Important â€“ keep the newly sown lawn damp at all times by watering regularly with a fine mist spray. This may mean watering several times a day in hot or windy conditions. Lawn should be lightly mown when it reaches 6cm in height and then gradually reduced to a minimum of 4cm. For best results sow seed in autumn or early spring.
