Best Hard Wearing Grass Seed
What is the best grass seed for a hard wearing lawn?
If you're after top-tier durability, A1 Lawn Premiership Pro is an excellent choice. It's formulated to cope with heavy footfall, ideal for sports, play areas, and busy gardens.
Can I use hard wearing grass seed in shaded areas?
Some blends will cope better than others in partial shade, but hard wearing mixes generally prefer sun or light shade. For tricky areas, consider using a separate shade-tolerant seed.
Is hard wearing seed suitable for pets and children?
Yes – our hard wearing mixes are popular for family gardens. They grow into dense, resilient lawns that can handle rough and regular use from pets and kids.
How long does it take to establish?
Germination typically takes 7–21 days depending on the soil temperature and conditions. The lawn will usually establish within 4–6 weeks with proper watering and care.
Do I need to prepare the ground differently?
Preparation is the same as for standard lawn seed – remove weeds, rake to a fine tilth, and water consistently after sowing. The key to long-lasting wear is giving the seed a strong start.
