Lawn care – sowing new lawn seed

Your lawn sets the scene for your whole garden. It is the focus around which your flower beds, trees and plants sit. Like everything in your garden, it needs to be looked after all year round.

If you want a new lawn or have bare, thin and dry patches then sowing grass seed is an alternative and cost-effective solution to buying turf. Seed is also good for getting into awkward areas such as corners.

In this article, we look at top tips on sowing grass seed whether you are overseeding an existing lawn, or sowing a new one.
