General

Seed mixtures can contain at least three different types of Grass Seed. The mixture will be made up of grasses that have different chances of surviving. So given too much shade, not enough water, bad soil nutrient content, is it surprising that some of the grasses in the mixture will not survive.

So because different grasses grow and behave in different ways, then it will not be surprising to find that different grasses also do not survive for different reasons.

Below is an example of a section of lawn with grass types "X", "Y" and "Z" making a lawn.

See visually how a patchy lawn can develop when each type of grass dies off.

patchy lawn More Tips...

Grass which is mowed at the correct height will encourage the grass to grow healthy and discourage weeds to get hold and flourish. The best course of action is to get new or existing grass growing BEFORE killing the weeds. This will minimise the disturbance to the lawn. The new grass will start to choke out the weeds and help get a healthy percentage of grass growing before killing the remaining weeds.
