This is simply the best grass seed for shady areas.

    Overseeded shady part of lawn, again netted and watered daily. Now at end of 4th week with not a lot to show, quite disappointing really in comparison to the Sprogs and Dogs part of the lawn. I appreciate it is probably a finer and slower growing seed than the S&D, but it definitely has not taken in the majority of areas. I will probably overseed this with the S&D and see if I can at least get a bit of growth in this area.

    Very quick delivery and helpful advice given.
    I used the premium shade in a densely wooded area. My husband loves a pristine lawn and usually does all the lawn care. He was very sceptical that we could get grass to grow under the trees so he let me carry the project. It only took about 10 days to germinate and wasn’t long before I had a lush green lawn. It is unbelievable how it grows so well with minimal light filtering through the branches. Needless to say my husband has now taken back his lawn care duties!!

    I have a 1m wide by 3m long section of my lawn that gets no sun at all due to the shade from a fence, I put the seed down in a small patch in the corner to see if it would germinate before doing the whole area and thick consistent growth appeared in approx 1 week. Highly recommended.

    This grass seed is great! We planted per the included instruction and we had lush grass within the 8 weeks. We were so surprised as there are several spaces, right next to the fence, that get no sun light. A few patches but that will be of our own error of spreading seed by hand.

    When I clicked ‘proceed’ an extra £6.49 was added to the cost.
    I immediately tried to contact the company to cancel the order.
    They don’t answer the phone saying everyone is working from home and they did not reply to my email.

    Item arrived quickly and well packaged. I put the seed down possibly a little too early, as there was a cold spell that followed, however luckily it’s starting to grow now. Even in the shaded area it’s starting to come through. I may need to add a second lot but I didn’t want to over seed the first time, as this is the first time I’ve done this. Would certainly recommend.

    My lawn was wrecked by builders storing materials for my extension on it. It gets significant shade from trees that are on the property boundaries so the lawn can be a challenge at the best of times but sowed this 8 days ago and started seeing patches of germination on day 6 and today on day 8 most areas have a good covering of little (4-7mm) green needless poking through. Am hoping it can put on some decent growth before the trees dump all their leaves on it and then hopefully it is resilient enough to survive my rather tardy leaf raking regime.

    Pleased with product BUT delivery by DHL was a disaster.
    They took 3days + a w.end to find my address & even then I had to stand in middle of road & wave down the driver,
    He had my phone number but couldn’t be bothered to call me. I won’t be using you again until you stop using DHL – they are always a disaster!!
