How to Sow Premium Summer Turf Lawn Seed
Good seedbed preparation and consistent moisture are important for successful lawn establishment. Prepare the area carefully before sowing and avoid allowing the surface to dry out while the seed is germinating.
- Remove weeds and existing unwanted growth.
Clear weeds, debris and unwanted vegetation from the lawn area before preparing the soil. - Prepare a fine, level seedbed.
Loosen compacted soil and rake the surface level. Improve poor soils with compost or suitable soil amendments where required. - Broadcast the coated seed evenly.
For new lawns, sow approximately 30–40 g per m². For repairs and overseeding, use approximately 15–25 g per m². - Lightly cover the seed.
Rake the seed gently into the surface or cover with approximately 5–10 mm of fine soil or suitable lawn topdressing. - Improve seed-to-soil contact.
Gently roll or press the surface after sowing to help the coated seed make good contact with the soil. - Water gently.
Use a fine spray to thoroughly moisten the seedbed without washing the seed away. - Maintain consistent moisture.
Keep the upper soil layer consistently moist during germination and early establishment. - Begin mowing once established.
Allow the lawn to develop sufficient height and root strength before its first mow. Avoid removing more than approximately one-third of the leaf growth at one time.
Seed Quantity & Lawn Coverage
Coverage will vary according to sowing rate, seedbed preparation, soil conditions and the density required. The following figures are suitable as a general guide for new lawn establishment.
| Seed Quantity | Approximate New Lawn Coverage |
|---|---|
| 1 kg | Approximately 25–35 m² |
| 5 kg | Approximately 125–175 m² |
| 10 kg | Approximately 250–350 m² |
Coverage figures are approximate. Actual seed requirements vary according to lawn preparation, soil conditions, establishment conditions, desired density and whether the seed is being used for a new lawn or repair work.
When to Sow Premium Summer Turf Lawn Seed in Australia
This lawn seed mix performs best when soil temperatures are warm enough for active germination and turf growth. The ideal planting period varies according to climate.
| Climate | General Sowing Guide |
|---|---|
| Tropical | Suitable during warm periods through much of the year. Avoid extreme heat or periods of very heavy rainfall where possible. |
| Subtropical | Spring through early autumn, provided adequate moisture is available during establishment. |
| Temperate | Late spring through summer once soil temperatures are consistently warm. |
| Cool / frost-prone | Late spring to early summer after frost risk has passed and the soil has warmed. |
| Arid | Sow during warm conditions after suitable rainfall or when reliable irrigation is available. |
For best results, consider local soil temperature, rainfall, irrigation and frost risk rather than relying on calendar dates alone.
Lawn Care & Maintenance
- Maintain consistent moisture during germination and early establishment.
- Avoid heavy foot traffic until the young lawn has developed a strong root system.
- Begin mowing once the grass is sufficiently established and approximately 6–8 cm tall.
- Avoid removing more than one-third of the leaf height during a single mow.
- Regular mowing encourages a denser, more even lawn.
- Light seasonal fertilising can support turf density and colour where required.
- Reduce watering frequency gradually as the lawn develops a stronger root system.
About the Coated Lawn Seed
This Premium Summer Turf Lawn Seed Mix contains coated seed. Seed coating can make smaller grass seed easier to handle and distribute more evenly during sowing.
The coating contributes to the total weight of the finished product, so coated lawn seed should be sown according to the recommended sowing rate rather than compared directly with the same weight of uncoated seed.

Yes. This product is supplied as a coated lawn seed blend. The coating assists with handling and more even distribution during sowing.
How much Premium Summer Turf seed do I need?
For a new lawn, sow approximately 30–40 g per m². For repairing or overseeding an existing lawn, approximately 15–25 g per m² can be used depending on the existing turf density.
How much area will 1 kg cover?
At the recommended new lawn sowing rate, 1 kg covers approximately 25–35 m².
How deep should I sow lawn seed?
Sow the seed approximately 5–10 mm deep or broadcast it over a prepared seedbed and lightly rake or cover with fine soil.
How long does the lawn seed take to germinate?
The faster-establishing components may begin germinating in approximately 5–14 days under favourable warm and moist conditions. Some turf species in the blend may take longer.
Can I use this mix to repair bare patches?
Yes. Premium Summer Turf can be used to repair bare or thinning areas. Prepare the exposed soil before sowing and maintain consistent moisture until the new grass is established.
When should I sow summer lawn seed?
Sow when soil temperatures are warm and active turf growth is expected. In temperate areas this is generally late spring through summer, while subtropical and tropical regions have a longer warm-season sowing window.
Does the seed need full sun?
Full sun is preferred for the strongest establishment and turf density. Some components may tolerate light shade, but heavily shaded areas may produce thinner growth.
How often should I water newly sown lawn seed?
Keep the upper soil layer consistently moist during germination and early establishment. Use gentle watering to avoid washing the seed away, then gradually reduce watering frequency as the lawn develops stronger roots.
When can I mow the new lawn?
Begin mowing when the grass is well established and approximately 6–8 cm tall. Avoid removing more than one-third of the leaf growth during a single mow.
