Grass and Lawn Seeds

The type of seeds you choose can make a big difference in identifying the function of the grass area. There are various ones to choose from, so here are a few common ones available in New Zealand.

Self-repairing lawn seeds do precisely what the name suggests. The success of this new-generation lawn seed is its ability to spread and grow through bare patches and damaged lawns while repairing your grass as it grows.

Shady places is a seed blend of fine turf fescue and tall fescue grass seed that produces forest-green grass that requires less mowing and thrives in less sunlight.

Easycare seeds are a considerable choice if you want a low-maintenance lawn. The Easycare blend contains quality ryegrass and turf fescue grass seed for a luscious green lawn, an excellent choice for medium-high-use areas.

As the name suggests, it’s a tall fescue grass seed that requires maintenance and should be mowed at 30-50mm in height for a year-round luscious green lawn. It requires an area to allow for a deep rooting system.

The coastal blend is the answer for all who struggle with sand and would prefer to have a lawn. Sowing it in spring and summer is recommended for the best results.

Your grass seed is vital to having an inviting evergreen lawn, and choosing the best quality grass seed mix can impact your garden space tremendously. You might save some money in the short run by choosing cheaper lawn solutions but the results will unlikely be as good and could end up being more high-maintenance than before. High-quality grass and lawn seed are developed specifically for conditions in New Zealand giving it a much higher chance for success. It also often comes with special coatings that keep birds away, preventing them from undoing all your good work. They also come from suppliers that know how to best use these products and can pass on great recommendations and advice that you won’t get elsewhere.  

It could be hard to decide which grass variant is perfect for your lawn. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find the right fit for your garden. You should consider the climate and soil types in New Zealand as what works for one backyard won’t necessarily work for another, like a coastal property vs an urban one on volcanic soil. Your choice also depends if you prefer a low-maintenance lawn or you want a specific type of grass for a particular aesthetic like tall fescue grass. You may also want to select a complementary type of lawn fertiliser. Once these decisions are made, as long as you pick from a reputable supplier, you’ll be ensuring you’re on your way to the best possible results.
