A1 Lawn Shade & Drought Tolerant Grass Seed, 5kg (140m2) - Perfect for Shaded Areas & Under Trees, Fast Growing & Hard Wearing, Child & Pet Friendly, UK Harvested Lawn Seed - DEFRA Approved (AMPRO9)

I'm definitely happy with the results from my purchase with A1lawn seeds. To give context, I had a new patio, fencing and pathway installed. The previous grass was a mix of various types, alot of weeds also. The soil needed lowering and was bumpy, so I removed 8 tonnes of soil over 2 days into a skip. I cultivated the soil and added some lime. I then leveled the ground using a pallet and dragging it up and down, which proved really effective. I then needed seeds, as turf seemed extremely expensive and I'm aware different species of grass grow better in different environments. My soil is rather sandy, so I gave A1lawn a call and after a discussion of the environment and me having kids they advised this type. I was advised to use 1 bag, but in the end needed 2 bags, this was my fault due to spreading by hand. I think a seed spreader, would of done a much better job. Another factor may have been birds, so I bought some reflective tape and bamboo sticks and placed about 50, 30cm long tips on each side of the garden. This proved effective and birds tended to keep away after using the second bag. I also bought some pre-seeder, the whole process took about 8 weeks and atleast 3-4 full working days. What impressed me most about this company, was the technical support they provided over the phone and the instructions they sent out with the seeds/pre-seeder. Thanks 👍

Planted mid October started to appear 10 days later,also seeded a rough area of ground which had a shed on it for over 10 years very surprised at the amount of grass which grew ,I had my doubts that any would grow impressed

So far so good. I’m doing an autumn lawn renovation in England and felt I was starting a bit late in mid October. Seed are sprouting well after a couple of weeks. A bit patchy so far so hoping other areas are just a bit slower. To me will tell but impressed they are coming up

Excellent. Used for over-seeding to rejuvenate a lawn that had gone mostly to moss, camomille and clover after a couple of years of not being able to sufficiently clear up leaves from a number of tall trees in the autumn and water-logging. It appears just about every single seed successfully germinated. Areas in full-sun germinated very quickly and within four days were about 3-4cm tall. In more heavily shaded areas, such as under a large beech tree, germination and growth took longer, as would be expected but is nevertheless growing well. Helped by recent weather; periods of heavy rain alternating with periods of strong sun - which also kept the wood pigeons from taking too much. Some patches were slower to germinate were I'd insufficiently cleared thatch, but appears to be catching up now.

I thought I'd try this grass seed, as it was about £10 cheaper than my regular clay king seed. Shouldn't have bothered, instantly I could see the seed size was very small and underdeveloped. I put ample amounts down in well watered, rich soil. I only ever saw a handful amount of green shoots, which died off soon after. Absolute robbery paying for this. I've still got some left, but it'll no doubt go straight in the bin!!

Expensive seed took way longer to germinate than it states and also had lots of weeds through and also had still left patchy even with regularly watering and sun

I've just finished my first 5kg bag of these seeds three years later! Have successfully reseeded 4 different lawns with this mix with great results. Buying another one so I've got some to overseed my back lawn soon and have enough for future reseeding after scarifying. So much better than the stuff you buy in DIY stores don't waste your money elsewhere, buy A1!

Slower germination than expected but probably due to weather as just showing now after seeding a few weeks ago. Like this brand as a repeat order but first time with shady . Best value price.
