Seed quality and integrity
Seed varieties used are industry certified with minimum purity (99%) and germination (85%), free of weed seed. They represent the latest breeding advances in turfgrass technology, including stoloniforous turf-type perennial ryegrass and rhizomotous fescues, depending on your individual turf renovation. We do not use uncertified or cheaper agricultural grade seed varieties.
Timing
Lawns can be reseeded with cool season grasses between early March and mid November depending on seasonal weather and other factors. The nominal optimum time to reseed lawn is from early March onwards when soil temperatures are still warm, annual weeds have yet to germinate and warm season turf grasses begins to get sleepy. However, during our 2014 lawn and turf reseeding trials in Melbourne’s sandbelt, we have achieved fantastic germination and establishment from June, july, august and up to late spring reseeding.
How long does it take:
Most lawn reseeding projects take between 3 and 5 hours. This does not include the initial on-site consultation or spraying the old lawn out (if required) which must be done at least 24 hrs before reseeding.
