This Fine Turf Lawn Seed is designed for gardeners who want a neat, elegant and premium-looking lawn.
Blended from slender creeping red fescue, chewings fescue and bentgrass, it produces a fine-leaved, close-knit sward with excellent colour and a refined ornamental finish.
It is particularly suited to front lawns, formal garden areas, decorative turf and show lawns where visual quality is more important than heavy wear tolerance. The mixture can be used to establish a new lawn from seed or to overseed existing fine turf areas that need thickening, improving or refreshing.
As with all fine turf mixtures, the best results come from careful seedbed preparation, regular mowing and sensible aftercare.
Premium Fine Lawn Finish
A fine-leaved ornamental lawn seed mixture designed to create a dense, refined and attractive grass surface for front lawns, show lawns and decorative garden areas where presentation is important.
Dense, Close-Knit Grass Growth
Combines slender creeping red fescue, chewings fescue and bentgrass to help produce a tight, even sward with excellent colour, texture and a premium fine turf appearance.
Ideal for Ornamental and Low-Wear Lawns
Best suited to decorative lawns, front gardens, formal lawns and fine turf spaces rather than heavy-use play areas, making it a strong choice for gardeners who prioritise appearance over hard wear.
Suitable for New Lawns and Overseeding
Use at 40 to 60g per m² when creating a new lawn, or 20 to 30g per m² when overseeding thinner areas to improve density, colour and overall lawn presentation.
