“The advice from Lawnsmith following the seed purchase has been very useful. We sowed the seed (mixed with compost) just over two weeks ago and have been diligent in watering once or twice a day during the very dry period since then. We are now getting a good amount of rainfall and hope this will speed up the germination rate. This has been somewhat slower than we expected but we are now starting to see green shoots emerging.”
“Will give a good looking lawn in time but I found that it may take two weeks to germinate when used in the autumn, accepting of course all factors that may influence this.”
“Hard to give a fairer review of a product that is dependent on so many external factors. All I can say is I did everything I would normally do and had very little growth.”
Thank you for your honest feedback. We understand how many external factors like weather and soil conditions can impact results, and we’re sorry to hear you didn’t get the growth you hoped for this time. If you’d like, we’re here to offer advice. Please email customersupport@lawnsmith.co.uk 😊
Thanks for your review, Simon. Germination can take some time and varies with conditions. If you’d like to update us, feel free to get in touch at customersupport@lawnsmith.com.
“Seed sewn 2 weeks ago. Watered every evening during this beautifully warm weather and absolutely no sign of germination. Lawn moss killed, aerated, scarified and fed with your lawn feed for sandy soil before seed sewn. Any ideas please?”
We appreciate you leaving your feedback. For the classic seed, two weeks is still quite early to expect results. This mix is 50% fescues, which naturally take 21 days or more to establish even in the most favourable conditions. This is normal, and wouldn't be a cause for concern at this stage.
“After a bag of seed left in the shed for a couple of years failed to germinate, I quickly ordered this Classic Seed. It was quickly delivered and came in an improved moisture resistant sack. I’m pleased to report rapid germination. A great product and service all round!”
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you have had great results from the Classic Seed and you are impressed by the packaging 😊⭐ We appreciate your 5 stars!
