A lush, green lawn starts with good grass seed and proper care. Whether you are renovating your lawn or starting from scratch, questions always arise. In this blog, we answer the most frequently asked questions about sowing grass so that you can start with confidence and quickly enjoy a beautiful lawn.

When is the best time to sow grass?
The ideal time to sow grass is in spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November). These periods provide the best conditions for grass seed germination, as soil temperature and weather are perfect for growth.

How much grass seed do I need?
The amount of grass seed depends on the size of your garden. Generally, you use between 20 and 40 grams of seed per square meter, depending on whether you are overseeding an existing lawn or establishing a new one. For a new lawn, 40 grams per square meter is often recommended. Looking for the right seeds for your garden? Check out our selection here!

How do I prepare my soil for sowing grass?
Start by removing weeds and stones from your garden. Aerate the soil with a rake or lawn aerator, then level the ground so that the seeds are evenly distributed. This ensures good contact between the seeds and the soil.

  2. How long does it take for my lawn to start growing?
    Keep your lawn regularly moist by watering, but avoid overwatering. The soil should be damp, not waterlogged. This promotes germination and grass growth.
  3. How long does it take for my lawn to start growing?
    Depending on weather conditions and temperature, germination usually occurs within 7 to 21 days. In the early stages, growth may be slow, but after a few weeks you will see your garden turning greener.
  4. When can I mow my lawn?
    You can mow your lawn for the first time when it reaches about 8 to 10 cm in height. Make sure not to cut it too short, especially at first. Maintain a cutting height of about 4 to 5 cm for a healthy lawn.
