Yates Tough & Hardwearing Lawn Seed Blend

Yates Tough & Hardwearing Lawn Seed is a blend dominated by turf type perennial rye grass for areas that are subject to heavier use such as family backyards. Extremely hardwearing, this grass type is commonly used in sports fields. It offers year round active growth and recovers well from wear and tear. Use to grow a new lawn or oversow an existing one, this turf type blend grows strongly but without the excessive growth of many other hardwearing grass types.

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 Roundup 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 Lifter 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 5cm in height and then gradually reduced to a minimum of 3cm. For best results sow seed in autumn or early spring.
