Welcome to the Johnsons Lawn Seed Media Centre

By combining traditional lawn grasses with a carefully selected blend of low-growing native wildflowers, Nature's Lawn attracts pollinators like butterflies and bees while maintaining a beautiful blooming and easily manageable lawn. This makes it an ideal choice for nature lovers who want to enhance their garden's biodiversity without the hassle of too much maintenance. Nature’s Lawn contains native wildflowers such as Birdsfoot Trefoil, Black Medick, Black Knapweed, and Lady’s Bedstraw which add colour and texture to the lawn, creating a buzz for beneficial insects throughout the year. One of the standout features of Nature's Lawn is the freedom to choose the desired cutting height, ranging from 50mm to 150mm. By raising the mowing height and reducing the mowing frequency, homeowners can create ideal conditions for the native wildflowers to thrive supporting both biodiversity and the environment. The wildflowers will self-seed over time, gradually increasing their presence and enhancing the overall natural beauty of the lawn, keeping pollinators coming back again and again. The inclusion of slow-growing grasses like Strong Creeping Red Fescue, Chewings Fescue, and Hard Fescue ensures a durable and resilient lawn that can withstand regular use.

As summer winds down and the busy season of barbecues, school holidays, socialising and family gatherings end, your lawn might be showing signs of wear and tear, especially after the UK’s wet and temperamental summer. If you have noticed thinning grass, compacted soil, or uneven patches, now is the time to act. Autumn is the perfect time to rejuvenate your lawn, preparing it for winter dormancy so it can return lush and vibrant in the spring. The UK’s oldest and most trusted lawn seed brand, Johnsons Lawn Seed, is here to guide you through every step of the process. Why is Autumn Lawn Care Important? Summer’s heavy foot traffic and activities can leave your lawn in less-than-perfect shape. Soil compaction, bare spots, and poor nutrition are common problems after a season of fun in the sun. The wet spring was also a double-edged sword for our lawns. While the increased moisture can promote growth, it can also lead to problems like waterlogging, fungal diseases, and moss. Autumn is a crucial time to restore your lawn’s health. By addressing issues now, you will strengthen your grass, giving it the resilience needed to endure the winter and bounce back come spring. Neglecting autumn lawn care could lead to a patchy, unhealthy lawn next year—something no gardener wants.

When to start We recommend you start your lawn TLC in September to give your grass ample time to recover before the cold sets in. The earlier you start, the better your lawn will be equipped to handle winter’s challenges. Over time, a layer of thatch—composed of dead grass, moss and weeds can build up on your lawn, especially as we have had a very soggy year! This layer acts like compacted soil, preventing water and oxygen from reaching the grassroots as the thatch competes for nutrients. Scarifying is the process of removing this thatch layer to improve your lawn’s health. Start by using a rake to remove any surface-level thatch. For deeper-rooted thatch, a scarifier is the ideal tool. Carefully work the scarifier or rake over your lawn, ensuring you don't go too deep and damage the turf. Seeding After scarifying, your lawn might appear thin or patchy. This is where Johnsons Lawn Seed comes in. Overseeding or reseeding involves spreading new grass seed over your existing lawn to fill in bare spots and encourage denser growth. Choose a high-quality grass seed mix suitable for your lawn’s needs. At Johnsons Lawn Seed, we offer a range of blends designed for different conditions.
