  • CLASSIC LAWN MIX

    Includes: Fescue and Turf Rye

     

    Classic is a mix of attractive fine textured hard-wearing turf rye and fescue grasses. It is the most durable and most popular of all our lawn mixes. It can be used for areas that receive a lot of wear and tear, perhaps from children, pets, or for areas of high traffic like tennis courts, cricket outfield, school sports pitches, and general landscaping projects. It can tolerate frequent low mowing, it can recover well after medium drought and suits a wide range of soil types and fertility.

    Note: When used for patch up jobs, Classic Lawn tends to blend in with most existing lawns.

    Prep
    Good seed bed preparation is the key to establishing a successful lawn. Pay particular attention to clearing weeds and cultivating the surface to a fine tilth.
    • Eliminate existing grass, weeds with a glyphosate weed killer, or by hand before starting to prepare the seed bed.
    • Dig or cultivate the site to a depth of 20-25cm (8-10in)
    • Rake and remove rubble, rocks and roots
    • Dig in some well-rotted manure or other organic matter (especially on a sandy soil) to hold moisture. It’s a good idea to apply some lime at this stage, approximately 200g/square metre
    • After cultivation, leave for several days to settle – the longer the better, ideally five to six weeks or more.
    • Before the next stage of preparation, remove any weeds that have germinated.
    • For the best lawn you will need to get it level, tread or roll the area several times in different directions and then rake several times also in different directions.
    • Once firmed, rake several times in different directions.
    • Apply and rake in 70g per square metre of seeds & Cereals Lawn Starter Fertiliser.
    Sow
    • Calculate the correct seed quantity for the area to be sown
    • Divide the seed quantity in half.
    • Sow half the seed over the whole area by working in parallel rows lengthways.
    • Repeat the process with the remaining seed, working in parallel rows width ways.
    • If using a seed distributor follow the same method, but calibrate the seed distributor.
    • Lightly rake over the sown area to cover the majority of the seeds with soil
    • Give the area a light roll to squeeze the air out of the seed bed
    • Recommend applying Seeds & Cereals Lawn Starter, ensuring it is well watered in
    • If the weather remains dry for two or three days, water gently with a light sprinkler.
    • If dry conditions persist, repeat watering as necessary while the seeds are germinating and the young seedlings are becoming established.
    Aftercare
    • Mow new lawn at about 5-7.5cm (2-3in) high, ensure the mower blades are sharp.
    • Try not to overuse the new lawn during the first season.
    • Recommend applying Seeds & Cereals Lawn Fertiliser after about three months
    • Weed seedlings are usually killed when mowing begins, but the seedlings of perennial weeds are best weeded out by hand. Coarse grasses may appear in new lawns, these are best removed promptly by hand, as they can’t be killed by lawn weed-killers.
    • Selective lawn weed-killers should not be used on a new lawn earlier than six months after germination.
    Note: The ideal cutting height of an established residential lawn is about 20mm – 25mm.
