Overview

Germination times Young grass will appear within 14-21 days but can take longer when the ground is colder. Sowing a new lawn step by step guide 1. Remove weeds, stones and rubbish before sowing. Dig to a depth of 15-22cm (6-9in). Level and firm seed bed by raking then treading or light rolling. 2. If possible, leave seed bed for a few weeks and then destroy any weeds. 3. Moisten the ground, mix the seed and then scatter evenly. Sow the seed at a rate of 35g per sq. metre (1 º ozs per sq yard) half from left to right, then half from top to bottom for each section. Rake lightly and firm in seed by treading or light rolling. 4 .In case of dry weather use a fine spray to keep seed bed constantly moist. Overseeding a existing lawn step by step guide 1. Mow the lawn short then using a spring tine rake or scarifier remove the layers of dead grass or thatch. If possible spike lawn with a hollow tine fork and brush in some topsoil to relieve any compacted areas. 2.
