A1 Lawn Shade & Drought Tolerant Grass Seed, 5kg (140m2) - Perfect for Shaded Areas & Under Trees, Fast Growing & Hard Wearing, Child & Pet Friendly, UK Harvested Lawn Seed - DEFRA Approved (AMPRO9)

I've just finished my first 5kg bag of these seeds three years later! Have successfully reseeded 4 different lawns with this mix with great results. Buying another one so I've got some to overseed my back lawn soon and have enough for future reseeding after scarifying. So much better than the stuff you buy in DIY stores don't waste your money elsewhere, buy A1!

Planted mid October started to appear 10 days later,also seeded a rough area of ground which had a shed on it for over 10 years very surprised at the amount of grass which grew ,I had my doubts that any would grow impressed

I used A1 grass seed to repair and reseed a lawn that was almost completely bare after some garden work. I sowed the seed on 20th May and by 22nd June I had a thick, green lawn covering almost the entire area. First pic is before using A1 seed, just after using a different brand, and the second pic is after mowing following the use of A1. Germination was quick and the grass established well, even in some more difficult spots around the edges. The colour is a healthy green and the lawn has responded well to its first mow. There are still a few thinner patches, but considering how bare the area was to start with, I’m extremely pleased with the results after just five weeks. The key was keeping the seedbed consistently moist during germination. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this seed to anyone starting a new lawn or repairing large bare patches. Very impressed with the coverage and growth rate.

Quality grass seeds

I don't like to give bad feedback sometimes it requires it..... ZERO germination. ZERO help from AI agent Rowan (using AI for "customer service"? Can only be because its cheap as it totally fails at helping customers). ZERO response from a real human. After a few years of family use our existing lawn was in need of some TLC. I have spruced our lawn up in the past and it worked quite well so I used the same process this time..... Cut existing grass short. Apply moss killer and fertiliser. Wait two weeks and cut grass short again. Scarify to remove bumps and thatch. Sow seed using a spreader.. Top off with a top soil/sharp sand mix. Wait while keeping ground moist. After 3 weeks of great growing weather..... ZERO germination. Go to customer (dis)service and all I got was an AI bot that's more interested in the order details rather than resolving the issue or putting a human in touch with me. I still have had no meaningful response so I don't know if it's a bad batch or not so with that in mind let your eyes be the judge. The first picture is from today (2nd May '26), the others are from 6 days earlier. All of the improvement is from the established grass. NONE is the light wispy hairlike growth you get from new grass seed.

Our lawn was never really looked after by the previous tenant, and it's very shaded due to high walls and large plants such as a buddleia, so it's very patchy as well. I used this to over-seed the lawn, and it's so far looking great - my neighbour's even commented on it. The seeds established themselves very easily, and I'm definitely a novice when it comes to gardening. What likely made this so successful was all the great advice from A1Lawn, as not only did the seed come with information on how to over-seed the lawn or establish a new lawn, but they also emailed with very useful advice. It definitely made the process a lot easier, and I really appreciate the extra effort the company clearly goes through to provide you with a product you're happy with. They even provide a way to contact them for advice if you're not getting the results you expected. Would definitely recommend them for the service alone, but this seed blend is doing an excellent job and has hopefully saved a lawn I didn't have much hope for.

Ok

Slower germination than expected but probably due to weather as just showing now after seeding a few weeks ago. Like this brand as a repeat order but first time with shady . Best value price.
