Growing Thick Lawns

Have some sparse patches? Want to thicken your lawns?

If you have sparse patches in your lawn, we recommend spreading out Daltons Premium Lawn Soil about 40-50mm deep. Level and compact with a rake then broadcast the seed evenly over the area. Alternatively, if the areas are small, you can use Daltons Premium Lawn Patching Gold, which has everything in one bag and is very easy to use!

Water lightly to initiate germination, which should occur between seven and ten days. If the weather suddenly becomes very cold or there is exceptionally heavy rainfall, the amount of seed germinating will be somewhat reduced so you will need to repeat the process in earliest spring you can.

In general, to obtain the best results when establishing a lawn, grass seed should be sown in early autumn or early spring.
