Came in a plain sack which was fine I don’t need fancy boxes with built in dispensers etc.
Bought this to replace my stock which I’d just exhausted so don’t know how quick it’ll germinate ye
Started using this for oversewing in spring and autumn and the grass is such a lovely fresh green and quite fine. This year I have used it to create a new lawn in a different place and the growth rate was incredibly fast and even.
After spreading, I gently rake it in to stop birds feating on the bounty and it worked a treat.
Highly recommended.
The seeds have a pretty solid feel to them.. I know that is indicative of nothing, it was just psychologically reassuring
After sowing these and gently working them through the soil, after a week or so I had a nice downy growth on most of the patches
Some areas took longer to really bed in but that’s more to do with my soil than the seeds
Now you can really tell where I planted these as they grow faster than the rest of the lawn and have a very tough and resilient feel to the shoots
They have a lovely consistent and vibrant green colour and frankly next year I’m tempted to completely till over the entire lawn and reseed with just this varia
First and foremost, the durability of this grass seed is exceptional. With kids and pets constantly playing in the garden, I needed a seed that could handle heavy foot traffic without losing its vibrancy. Sprogs & Dogs Ultra Hardwearing Grass Seed has proven to be the perfect solution. The grass grows strong and dense, withstanding the constant running, jumping, and general playtime activities of my children and furry friends.
The speed at which this grass seed grows is also worth applauding. Within a remarkably short time, I witnessed the transformation of my patchy lawn into a lush carpet of green. It was impressive to see how quickly the seed germinated and filled in the bare spots, resulting in a uniform and attractive lawn.
What sets this grass seed apart is its adaptability to various weather conditions. Whether it’s scorching summer heat, heavy rainfall, or cold winter temperatures, Sprogs & Dogs Ultra Hardwearing Grass Seed remains resilient and maintains its vibrant colour. It has proven to be extremely hardwearing and resistant to drought, which is a huge relief, knowing that my lawn can withstand the challenges of different seasons.
Another advantage of this grass seed is its low maintenance nature. Once established, it requires minimal effort to keep it looking great. Mowing becomes a breeze, and the grass maintains its neat appearance even with regular use.
Furthermore, the 500g packaging size is convenient and provides sufficient coverage for my family lawn. The seed is easy to spread evenly, ensuring a consistent growth pattern and avoiding any patchiness.
In conclusion, Sprogs & Dogs Ultra Hardwearing Grass Seed by Lawn UK has truly impressed me with its exceptional durability, fast growth, and ability to withstand the demands of family life. It has outperformed every other grass seed brand I’ve tried. If you’re looking for a reliable, low-maintenance seed that will provide you with a beautiful and resilient lawn for your children and pets, look no further. This 5-star gem will exceed your expectations.
Brought this item a few weeks ago.
After a busy summer off the kids in and out off the pool I had some mud patches so used these seeds and the grass is already sprouting.
Would highly recommend and buy this item agai
We have used this to seed and over-seed our lawn and it has been great. It’s hard wearing with pets and very easy to grow as long as you plant at the right time of year.
Adding some good lawn sand really encourages this to come through quickly and thickly
Good germination rate and fast growing thickens quickly too impressed
Following the recent heatwave in the UK, no rain and hosepipe ban, let’s just say we had hay like grass in our garden, some patches nothing at all! Sprinkle this magic along with fertiliser, our garden is lush GREEN GREEN GREEN and took approximately 2weeks (if that)! BIG THUMBS UP
After a dry summer and some work in the garden, my lawn got trashed, so I decided to start again and re-seed it. I’ve never done this before, but I just followed the simple instructions.
I spread the seed out mid September so it was a bit late in the season to be sowing grass seed, but with plenty of watering it eventually got going. I reckon if it was a month or two earlier the results would have been seen in half the time. My seed took about 7 days to start to get going properly and now after 14 days I have a reasonably even spread. I hope to have a full healthy lawn a month after first sowing.
The grass has a nice fine blade to it which is very attractive. Time will tell if it is a practical variety and lasts well. For the money though I think it’s well worth it. I bought a 2KG bag for my lawn. I would have been happy to have got double that though, but this is my first experience.
Can’t tell you yet how it is as I’ve just sown the seed I hope it’s okay will let you know
We have been trying to grow grass in our back garden for years. This is the only seed that has worked and lasted. Will only ever buy this seed.
Only took a few weeks. Gave the soil a good turn over and rake first. Watered the seeds once a day at the end of summer. Grew fully within a month.
I was optimistic about this product buy after having no grass at all to a lawn full, I’m very impressed.
Used it to patch behind our treehouse. Low light area too. Kept it watered so it would help germinate. Before we knew it we had grass growing well no weeds.
Worked well for patching up the lawn where dog urine had burned it. Grew quickly, is very green and seems tough
Unfortunately nothing happened. Not grass has grown & seeds just sitting there still!
The seed did grow but our garden is poor . I must say it did grow better than the other seeds of well known suppliers including Westland .
It’s grown well in most parts, and after a few months seems to be holding well with high traffic dogs and children
Pricey but it’s done a job
Put the seed down with top dressing on the 29th June, looking better already and it’s only the 8th of July, expecting really hot weather so fingers crossed it will be ok, but happy with the results so far.
This stuff is great. After trying several different types of grass seed, finally I have found one that works quickly. The good weather at the moment (June/July 2022) is obviously helping, but this stuff grows really well.
Just make sure you put some decent top soil down on top when you sow them and water regularly and you will have fantastic strong green blades within 3 weeks.
Very happy indeed. I won’t be using any other types when I need some more.
Pic one is what I was left with after winter this year, the Speedy seed i used last was garbage.
then a crane fly infestation that was what i was left with in spring.
Nemasys, wet towels, patience and rid of all the crane fly grubs,
Bought 2kg of this seed and prepped the soil and spread, topped with top soil and netted (we have a wood pidgeon issue)
2 weeks later i was cutting it, pics are of approx 4 weeks later, 3 cuts, first tight trim was the weekend just gone.
Im well happy with the results of this seed and would highly recommend.
Sometimes it’s great other times nothing, seems no middle ground despite same process and watering.
After some building work we were left with only half a lawn. Bought this because we have two labs and two grandaughters. We got fresh shoot in two week with plenty of water and rain. Amazing. So easy to use and quick results. !
The grass was quick to grow and spread really easily. It’s a lush dark green and has grown to be quite thick. I have re-seeded some patches as the grass didn’t take but that’s to be expected. Really good product!!
You will need top soil and you will need to take the soil and rough up where you want the seed. But it grows quick and is a dark green grass thick and durable.
OMG ive used other brands of grass seeds to re patch my lawn in areas my dog wee killed
i was amazed how quick it grew and looks so luxh grass. Ive mowed the lawn and new growth areas and the grass has held. Previously the new growth of other seeds have been slow and very patchy with alot of the seeds not growing. I have already ordered my second batch
I can’t actually believe how well this worked! How I wish I had remembered to take a before picture. Our garden was an absolute mud pit after winter with the dogs. We spread the seed and did a very thin layer of top soil and compost. We have been so lucky with the weather, it’s been on and off with rain and sun for a solid 2 weeks everyday.
I now actually have a lawn ready for the kids to play on for summer!
Will be buying again as I know I will need to cover some patches where I weed over the years. 10/10 though!
We used this to re-seed areas of a damaged lawn following building work and general wear and tear. You need to use lots and water frequently but it looks good.
Seeds were easy to spread and grass started to grow quicker than the expect 2 weeks
Grass grows great in right temprature. Sowed when 18 degrees but weather took a turn. Fortunately its very hard wearing and stuck out the cold weather then started to germinate. I only required to patch but wish I would have do all the lawn. Great final product.
Great little product. I moved into my house in Feb this year and the lawn that I saw in September had disappeared to dead grass so I brought this product along with top soil and im so please with it ive ordered some more to do the next phase of the garden. I covered the seed over with breathable sheeting and watered it in. Took about 10 days but 1 happy customer!!
Update 09/22 – Months later and the grass is long, thick, green and lush. During the hot weather during the Summer, it remained just the same.
I am so impressed with this product. It grows so quickly and the grass is of a good quality.
I didn’t pay too much attention to sowing it, other than the obvious of removing stones, raking and sprinkling of the seed. I then covered it lightly with a good quality top soil, pressed the soil down and left. I watered every 3 days when there was no rain.
I now have thick lush soft green springy grass that has grown so quickly.
I am impressed too by the fact it is safe to use around pets, and also the birds never touched the seed.
Highly recommended!
The seed was evenly laid covered with some thin layer of top soil, watered for just over a week and started to see growth but is very patchy, looks great with what has grown. After two weeks under apple tree it has developed but when cut looks patchy requires more seed perhaps half of the seed is duff this could be down to storage at warehouse or just seed rotting when watered on my part. I wouldn’t rely on it to do a big garden as you would probably use a ton of seed to hope it all germinates. I’ll give it another week or two then buy some more.
Had a massive trampoline covering the all garden for many years so when we removed it it was just mud and weeds. Applied 10 days ago and already lots of grace coming through. very Happy (you will have to zoom in the 2nd picture)
Today 4th of June and we have now proper grass
Tried a few various types of seed without luck to the point I was considering artificial turf. Not one for reviews & this is honestly my first Amazon review as I was so impressed with the quality of seed.
We have a dog who ruined our lawn so wanted something hard wearing and fast growing. Laid down the seeds in May after cutting grass, watered every night for a week with a rake in the bare areas and two/three weeks later we have a massive improvement. Really happy with the product and would highly recommend for all gardeners wanting a green green lawn!
At last! A lawn seed that doesn’t have rye grass seed.
This is great if you want a good green lawn, which is easy to sow and grows quit quickly, and grows to a low high and thick. It includes a fescue seed
Does exactly what it says on the packaging – germinates and establishes quickly. Dog hasn’t destroyed it yet.
Shouldn’t need to buy it agai
Took couple of months to grow due to crap weather but I now have grass. Also a 2 year old and a dog playing on it too. Needs touch ups in odd place but this is only grass seed what has grow
I wrote a 1 star review 3 weeks after laying the seed and nothing happening, then all of a sudden we saw growth and things escalated quickly from there! Now have thick, lush and wonderfully green grass.
Decent quality grass, only shocked how much more expensive it is this year.
Will barely survive on the shady area of my garden. But fared better than previous grass.
I live in southern Lincolnshire, with probably the best growing conditions in the country for arable.
I could not rake all the seed under the soil but be assured the “VAST” majority is at about 1-2cm under the soil, I keep it moist “NOT” wet, I water it in the mornings, because I read about plants don’t like damp roots at night !
As I mentioned I’ll update next week
Update day 18
The seed started to show at about the 11th day, the above photo is at 18 days after sewing, still a few little patches, but time will tell if the seed underneath comes through.
Update day 41
Grass continues to grow well and has started to thicken up and out nicely. I started cutting it at about 8cm/3″ inches high, needed cutting twice a week and I’m slowly reducing the height to about 5cm/2″inches.
This is another section I seeded only 10 days ago, however I did use fertilizer on this section. (Purchased through Amazon)
TOTAL LAWN (EAN 5065003543072) Pre-seed and Turf fertiliser | Fast Acting Fertiliser for New Lawn, Quick to Establish |Specifically for new seed establishment and pre-turfing. 1-2mm Granules – 100m2
I recommend this seed and I not a gardener by any stretch of the imagination.
Great coverage, quick to establish and nice lush green.
Was quoted 900 to have lawn turfed, did it ourself for less than 60
seed germinated
dawgs weed
seed died
there’s serious money in dawg wee proof grass seed I reckon
yours got dawged back to mud
Worked very well, sowed the grass seed about six weeks ago, and it is now a good 2-3 inches high,
I would recommend this product, also the delivery was quite quick. A. B. Lancashire.
This actually grows! I have bought countless bags of grass seed with very poor results.
This one has actually grown. It does what it says on the bag.
Having had a gazebo erected in the middle of the lawn to house the contents of my very large shed whilst I cleared and sorted it.
It took far longer than expected, consequently, the whole of the middle of my lawn disappeared and left
me with a big bald patch.
I ordered the grass seed and the minute it was delivered I was straight outside spreading it all over the area concerned.
Every day I watched it, eagerly await the signs of new greenery, and on and about 12 days after, there it was. These little sprouts of vivid green !! what a sight for sort eyes, and it continues to grow lovely.
I went out yesterday a sewed a few more seeds in the areas that I didn’t cover so well, and am now looking forward to having a nice lawn back that I can sit in and enjoy.
I will be 80 in a few months time, and am planning to semi-retire, so maybe I can enjoy my garden even more.
Should I need to re-patch anytime in the future, I will definitely be purchasing the same band.
Enough to do my jobs mixing up pots and adding a little here and a little there
I bought this grass seed for a customers garden to do an area of about 10 square meters. 3 weeks later it was lush, and thickening up well. Now after 7 weeks of sewing, the lawn is green and the quality of the grass is exceptional. I have since recommended this product to other customers that I garden for. As a professional gardener, it will be my go to grass seed from now on.
Used the seed to patch-in a number of small areas of lawn where moss and dead grass was visible. Scrapped the moss and dead areas up and loosened the soil immediately under, scattered some seed over, then lightly sieved some compost over and waited generally 7 to 10 days of showery weather in October, to see the grass growing. The new, darker areas of grass look good and healthy.
I followed the instructions and sprinkled out the grass. I only had a 4m long stretch x 0.5m so not a huge amount, and I’ve got lots of seed left over. In fact, it’s come in handy to patch up areas where Storm has gone for a wee and killed the grass.
I wanted to protect it from the hundreds of birds that visit our garden every day so I laid the grass and then used an insect protector anchored down with some tent pegs and waited.
A few weeks later and my former path had become a lush lawn once more. The colour doesn’t quite match the existing lawn, although that’s a hybrid of all sorts of grass and moss so that doesn’t bother me. It took around a week in the height of summer (just as we had a heat wave, typically) before the grass germinated. I spinkled the area with a light dusting of hose water morning and evening, and before long the grass was starting to come through. It was 3-4 weeks before I would say it was a fully lawned area, but I’m pleased with it.
The dog has been darting all over the place on it ever since. I laid the grass in late July and as we enter into November it looks lush and full despite Storm’s best efforts.
We have a big patch I our garden that never grows. We purchased this and spread it with a bit of top soil on top 2 weeks ago (beginning october) and its growing really well already. We didnt think it would due to the weather but its grown beyond expectations and really pleased. Have ordered more to fill the gaps we missed. Highly recommend!
I’ve purchased more of this seed & planted it about 10 days ago, as you can see in the last picture its growing well and quickly. I’d deffinately recommend this seed to any one. It arrives quickly and is a great price!
I’ve bought alot of well known brand seeds and was really disappointed that they disnt grow. After reading the reviews I purchased sprogs and dogs grass seed. The ground has been drained dry by conifers we had and we struggled to even grow weeds. After mixing this with basic potting compost the results in only 3 weeks are amazing.
I have listed what I did below (Watch videos online if you have not done it before) all I needed was the rake, watering can, and grass seed.
1) Raked the soil in the patch so it was broken up
2) Sprinkled the grass seed over the area (don’t overdo it) (you want a fine even coverage)
3) Take the rake and LIGHTLY rake in the seed into the soil
4) Take the head of the rake and lightly press the grass seed in
5) Water the patch so it’s damp but NOT soaking you dont want a river
If the weather is hot keep an eye on the patch and whenever it goes light grey (it’s getting dry) go out and water till the soil is damp.
Really easy to so and grow lots of yellow patches in my garden as I have a large dog that wees a lot, what I really like about this seed is the advice given, I.E there is no such thing as dog proof wee grass, this is a blend of four tough grass’s that grow quick and thick,,, but the best advice given was grass loves nitrogen but not as strong as your dog deposits it keep a watering can full and when you boy or girl as a tinkle water it down with said can. And all should be fine with this tough grass. Only time will tell.
We changed the position of a path in our garden and so needed to fill in the gaps left by removing the old slabs.
I’m happy that I didn’t have to wait too long to get results. Grass sprouting within 10 days.
I put some top soil (1cm) down on bare and dry mud and tiled the seeds into the soil. In one week I’ve got A lush grass lawn. Roughly 10m^2 of dead ground turned to lawn in a week. Impressed is an understatement. I wish I did a before and after pic but I was skeptical it would grow this quickly
The bag of grass seed we ordered didn’t arrive, but Sprogs & Dogs resolved this quickly, and with great communication. They sent another bag, and the seed has grown very successfully. Took a little longer thanwee expected, but the dry weather didn’t help with that. The grass is a lovely rich green colour. Great price, great product, great customer service.
Needs some patience to get started, but it will pay off! I have given it a few rounds (also because the birds feasted on some of the seeds). Used both to seed new areas and to patch up some worn areas. I started in April for fear that May would be too hot and fry the seeds but actually they did great in May, all the pouring rain probably helped, I’m keeping watering every evening if it doesn’t rain.
Fortunately I covered the seed with a garden fleece as the birds were prancing up and down the fleece after the seed. I sowed by hand and although I waited until the nights got warmer, we have had very heavy rain every day since the seed has been sown. We have also had very little sun. Saying that, I was pleased to seed growth when I checked on day 10. (it may have been showing before that). I haven’t yet removed the fleece to have a good look but not all of the seed has sprouted yet after 14 days but it may still happen. Considering the weather conditions, I am pleased with the results so far.
Great reviews but for us it’s taken over 2 weeks to grow and is quite patchy. It’s been down for a month now. Nice bright green colour but not able to use it yet so can’t comment at all on durability and had to do another bag to fill in patches. I guess that’s just the reality of seeding your own lawn.
