Whether you’re starting a lawn from scratch, patching up the bare bits, or giving a tired lawn a proper feed, the right grass seed makes all the difference. Our lawn seed comes from Barenbrug, who have spent over 100 years breeding grass varieties for just about every situation you can think of.
We keep the range simple. A hard wearing mix for general lawns, a shade mix for the spots under trees and fences, and slow release fertilisers to keep it all looking good through the seasons.

At George Davies Turf, we’re often asked whether a combination of lawn seed and turf fertiliser will deliver the right results, particularly for people looking to thicken up areas and create a beautiful lawn. The key is all about getting the right balance. When you get that right, you can improve the overall health of your lawn and eliminate competition from weeds.
When it comes to seeding a lawn, the mixture matters. Green Velvet ® Lawn Seed is a premium quality seed produced by Barenbrug UK, tried and tested for over 100 years, and it works for new lawns and overseeding alike. Our Green Velvet Shady Seed is built for the parts of the garden that never quite get enough sun, under tree canopies, along fence lines, and behind sheds. Between the two, most lawns are covered. If you would rather lay a finished lawn than grow one, take a look at our Trident Turf.
There are many different varieties of grass fertiliser on the market, however, some contain weed killers so it’s essential that you check before purchasing. One piece of advice we offer is that the richer the soil, the better the lawn growth. Poorer quality soil will need more feeding. If you feed your lawn from spring to summer each year with a phased, slow-released fertiliser, like our Envy Fertiliser, you can gradually release vital nutrients to give your lawn that stunning green colour for months to come. Alternatively, our Nourish Autumn/Winter Fertiliser consists of slow-releasing pellets, with a specific formula to maintain a healthy garden throughout winter.
If you’d like to learn more about the steps you can take to create a lush lawn that you can be proud of, please explore our turf care tips where we cover the six essential steps including, mowing & rolling, feeding & watering, weeding, moss, scarifying and aerating. We also have some fantastic blogs with lots of information about the perfect grass seed for lawns and the best turf fertiliser. For seeding, Why Does My Lawn Need Seeding & Fertilising is handy, as well as Seed to Serenity: Mastering The Art Of Lawn Turfing and for fertilisation, How And When To Fertilise Your Lawn.

To work out how much grass seed you will need for your project simply choose your unit of measurement, from here you can select from metres, feet or yards. Then choose your desired seeding type; this can be either sowing or overseeding. To calculate how much you need, use our handy grass seed calculator.
First you need to work out the square footage of the area you’re fertilising. We have a range of bag sizes to meet the required square footage, for example:
Over-seeding your lawn every year will help thicken and improve the look of your lawn. Ensure you use fertiliser as well as this will give your lawn the nutrients it needs to grow and fight off weeds and help fix bare patches.
You can easily spread grass seed by hand or by using a spreader. Make sure you spread the seed evenly and avoid overseeding in one spot.
Yes, of course you can. We have two seed mixes that do the job. Green Velvet ® Lawn Seed is a premium quality seed produced by Barenbrug UK, tried and tested for over 100 years. Our Green Velvet Shady Seed is made for the shady spots, under tree canopies, along fences and behind sheds. If you want to use fertiliser, we advise Envy Fertiliser during the spring and summer months and our Nourish Autumn/Winter Fertiliser during the winter months.
You should apply 25-35 grams per square meter of your lawn. Measure your lawn to calculate the total square meters and multiply by the application rate to determine the total amount needed.
Yes, in fact, it’s recommended to apply the fertiliser on a damp lawn, but not when rain is expected imminently. If it’s hot or dry, water your lawn after applying the fertilizer.
The fertiliser gets to work quickly, with results visible in as little as 7 days. It will continue to nourish your lawn for up to 12 weeks.
One 2 kg bag covers between 57-80 square meters of lawn. Ensure you know your lawn size to determine how many bags you may require.
Yes, avoid getting the product on hard surfaces to prevent staining, as it contains iron. Also, wear gloves and a mask to avoid direct contact or inhalation of the product. Always wash your hands after use. Keep the bag away from children and pets.
