Encouraging strong and even growth
Lawn seed works best when combined with good aftercare. Water regularly during dry periods and avoid heavy foot traffic while new grass is developing. Once established, regular mowing will encourage thicker growth and a more even finish. Overseeding existing lawns is also an effective way to improve density and reduce the risk of weeds appearing.
