When and How to Sow Grass Seed for Best Results

Timing and preparation make all the difference when it comes to sowing grass seed. The best months are spring and early autumn, when the soil is moist and warm enough for fast germination. Start by raking the soil to a fine tilth, removing weeds and debris, and then sow your seed evenly — a double pass at right angles gives lovely even coverage. Lightly rake it in, gently firm the surface, and keep it consistently moist until shoots appear (usually within 7–14 days). Once the young grass reaches around 5–7 cm tall, it’s ready for its first gentle mow. With a little care and patience, you’ll soon have a strong, even lawn that looks brilliant and feels great underfoot.
