A1 Lawn Ornamental Grass Seed, 10kg (200m2) - Very High Quality Lawn Seed, No Rye Low Maintenance, Slow Growing for Less Mowing, Child & Pet Friendly - UK Harvested DEFRA Approved (AMPRO1)

The seed grows well if you prep the ground properly, took a few weeks to germinate but once it started went great guns - v pleased.

Been sewing different seeds for 20 years, with a good success rate. Decided to opt for A1 ornamental on no traffic front lawn. 2 1/2 5kg bags later on a 25m2 area and results are shocking - bare patches, coarse and fine blades, extremely poor germination rate, despite using quality Norfolk top soil and tried and tested process. The grass is much worse than it was before I killed it all off to start again, which is extremely frustrating. A1 initially responded to my emails, but stopped when I asked for a refund. Don't buy - you'll be wasting your hard earned time and money!

Seeded last week of Sep 21 after quite a heavy top dressing (70/30 - Sand/Soil) on the existing lawn which was also heavily scarified. Germination seen after 8 days followed by a slow and steady growth. Had that one horrible weekend early Oct where we had a torrential downpour non stop from morning till night which might have washed away some seeds. Otherwise so far so good, will overseed again in Spring to fill in gaps.

As a greenkeeper for two crown green bowling greens i purchased 20Kg of the A1 grade grass seed in early September 2020 and over reseeded a lot of thin and bare areas. Some of these going back to the dry summer of 2018, but never recovered even after this year not been on played much.Then went on holiday for three weeks, and wow !!! what a transformation on return every seed must have germinated and blended in well with the existing grass cannot tell where the bad bits were . Good stuff this and will recommend to any other greenkeepers.

Re-seeded large bare sections of lawn. Excellent result within 10 days.

My front lawn

The seed grew quite quickly and delivered a very fine slow growing grass ideal for show or ornamental lawns.

Perfect seed if you want that luxury lawn. Fast germination and fast growing. Nice, thick and green.
