Do you have a house with a garden? Then a lawn is almost indispensable!
A lawn gives your garden a neat appearance, is beneficial for nature, and is also ideal for children and pets. Installing and maintaining a lawn is very easy. To create a lawn, you need grass seed. The type of grass seed you choose depends on the requirements you have for your ideal lawn. At Graszaadselect.nl, we sell various types of grass seed for lawns. Here's an overview of what's available.
Lawn Grass Seed
We sell grass seeds that allow you to create a beautiful lawn, even in your garden! One advantage of grass seed is the wide range of options. There are many blends you can sow for almost every application you can think of. Grass seed can be used for establishing a new lawn, but also for repairing an existing one. In short, many types of lawn grass seed are available. Make sure to choose a suitable mix—grass seed that best matches the characteristics of your dream lawn.
Play Lawn
Play lawn forms a strong grass area that withstands constant foot traffic from playful children and pets. It is often chosen by families with (young) children who frequently romp around in the garden.
Ornamental Lawn
Ornamental grass has fine blades and creates a lawn with a stunning appearance. However, such lawns require regular maintenance such as mowing and fertilizing. During the growing season, you’ll need to mow the lawn one to two times per week. Ornamental lawns also need sufficient water to remain in top condition. All in all, it requires quite some care. Ornamental grass seed is usually sown by enthusiastic gardeners.
Shade Grass
Does your garden lie partially in the shade? Then you probably know that grass tends to grow less well in shaded areas. Shade grass allows you to grow a lawn that thrives in both sun and shade. It also helps prevent moss growth in shady spots—provided you apply lawn lime regularly!
Overseeding / Repair Grass
Want to transform a thin, depleted lawn into a lush and vital one? Or just repair bare spots? For existing lawns in need of a boost, we offer overseeding/repair grass seed. This fast-germinating mix contains a high percentage of perennial ryegrass, ensuring rapid recovery of damaged lawns.
When to Sow Grass Seed?
You can sow or renovate a lawn in both spring and fall. For new lawns, we recommend sowing in early autumn—specifically in September or no later than October. The soil is still warm after summer, and combined with the wetter autumn weather, this ensures optimal germination. Overseeding can be done as early as late spring, depending on the weather.
How to Sow Grass Seed Effectively?
In just a few steps, you can sow a lawn with grass seed. First, remove existing vegetation. Measure the soil’s acidity to determine if it needs neutralizing with lime. Work the soil and enrich it with natural materials and nutrients using a soil improver. Level the surface and sow your lawn using a grass seed blend of your choice. Ideally, use one of our hand seeders or spreaders—they simplify the process and help ensure even seed distribution.
How to Maintain Your Lawn?
A lawn is relatively low maintenance compared to, for example, an ornamental garden. To keep it lush and full, maintenance is necessary. What you need to do depends on the state of your lawn. Newly laid lawns need water to grow densely. Damaged lawns may need aeration or dethatching. Fertilizing and mowing are essential steps in maintaining a healthy lawn.
How Much Grass Seed Do I Need?
The amount of seed depends on the size of your lawn and the type of grass. On average, you need 25–30 grams per square meter for an even result.
What’s the Best Time to Sow Grass?
The best time is spring or fall when soil temperatures are between 10 and 20°C. These conditions promote good germination and growth.
