Review: Good Seeds, great results, clear instructions, good phone support. - I'm definitely happy with the results from my purchase with A1lawn seeds. To give context, I had a new patio, fencing and pathway installed. The previous grass was a mix of various types, alot of weeds also. The soil needed lowering and was bumpy, so I removed 8 tonnes of soil over 2 days into a skip. I cultivated the soil and added some lime. I then leveled the ground using a pallet and dragging it up and down, which proved really effective. I then needed seeds, as turf seemed extremely expensive and I'm aware different species of grass grow better in different environments. My soil is rather sandy, so I gave A1lawn a call and after a discussion of the environment and me having kids they advised this type. I was advised to use 1 bag, but in the end needed 2 bags, this was my fault due to spreading by hand. I think a seed spreader, would of done a much better job. Another factor may have been birds, so I bought some reflective tape and bamboo sticks and placed about 50, 30cm long tips on each side of the garden. This proved effective and birds tended to keep away after using the second bag. I also bought some pre-seeder, the whole process took about 8 weeks and atleast 3-4 full working days. What impressed me most about this company, was the technical support they provided over the phone and the instructions they sent out with the seeds/pre-seeder. Thanks 👍
Review: Good stuff - Planted mid October started to appear 10 days later,also seeded a rough area of ground which had a shed on it for over 10 years very surprised at the amount of grass which grew ,I had my doubts that any would grow impressed

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this grow under pine trees ?**
A: Probably not! All grass likes some sun and water - pine trees tend to shed a resin that grass does not like. It's not expensive so give it a trial

**Q: What setting on a evergreen spreader on a existing lawn which I just want to recover patches due to moss which now left me patches on my lawn?**
A: When over-seeding we would suggest sowing the seed by hand rather than using a spreader as some areas may need different amounts of seed compared to others.

**Q: do you do 1Kg bags?**
A: Hello,

No sorry, it is only available in 5kg bags.

Many thanks,

A1Lawn

**Q: The grass seed has arrived in a plain white bag, not branded A1 Lawn as in the photos. Is it genuine?**
A: Good morning,

Thank you so much for your message. sometimes our suppliers do run out of branded bags and we have to use plain until we get more branded bags re stocked. the important thing is the green label that's attached to the bad. if you would like to send us a picture of the green label we can take a look and confirm for you.

hope this helps 

Kind regards 
A1 Lawn

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sprouting well in October in UK
*by C***R on 27 October 2025*

So far so good. I’m doing an autumn lawn renovation in England and felt I was starting a bit late in mid October. Seed are sprouting well after a couple of weeks. A bit patchy so far so hoping other areas are just a bit slower. To me will tell but impressed they are coming up
