Daltons Ready to Grow Lawn Soil 30L

New Lawns and Instant turf

Make sure the area to be sown is clean and level and weeds have been dug out or sprayed with a non-residual weed killer and removed. Spread Daltons Lawn Soil evenly to a minimum depth of 50-75mm. Where the base soil is of poor quality, clay or sand, increase to 75-100mm.

New Lawns – Use a good quality lawn seed and follow sowing guide on packet. Water new lawn regularly and thoroughly until established. For best results roll with a heavy roller after spreading and raking seed.

Instant Turf – After levelling the soil and before laying the turf, add a light application of Daltons Lawn Fertiliser, following instructions on the bag. After installing turf, soak thoroughly for initial watering. Gently lift a section of turf to make sure water has soaked through.

Lawn Patching

Daltons Lawn Soil is ideal for topdressing existing lawns to remove hollows. Spread the soil into low-lying areas of the lawn and level to a depth of around 15-20mm, leaving at least the tips of any existing grass showing through.

After levelling, fertilise lightly using Daltons Lawn Fertiliser and water the lawn thoroughly.

After Care

After 3-6 weeks fertilise using Daltons Lawn Fertiliser, following application rates for new lawns.

Regular watering is essential to the establishment of new lawn areas. If suitable water supply is not available, delay sowing until wetter months.
