An important element of landscape design is green areas of lush grass, which can serve as a separate decoration or complement a flower bed, framing sites. You can play on the lawn, just sit or lie down. But the owners of country houses, summer cottages and cottages are often faced with the fact that after the first year of operation, the grass begins to dry and 'bald spots' are formed. Let's figure out how to choose lawn grass and look at the best growers to help you purchase seeds or rolls for your lawn.

How to choose lawn grass

To learn how to choose lawn grass, remember a few key factors:

1. Purpose of the lawn. The grass can only play a decorative role, or serve as a platform for rest, passage. Depending on this, the resistance of the grass to jamming is selected.
2. Climatic conditions. Since the grass for the lawn is perennial, frost resistance of the crop is important in regions with cold winters. If there are many trees on the territory of the cottage, then the ability to grow in the shade is required.
3. Reproduction method. In the case of a Mauritanian tall lawn, the grass will multiply from the maturing seeds. If the cover is short and intended for play, then it is important to choose a variety that grows due to the root system, since the top will be constantly mowed.
4. Root system power. On a flat area, this does not matter, but on a slope it is important to plant grass with strong roots so that it keeps the soil from shifting.
5. Growth rate. This parameter affects how often you have to mow the grass. Some crops will need this every week, while others will need it once a month.
6. Cover height and density. For the decorative function, lawns with a grass height of 7-30 cm are used.If it is supposed to rest on a green surface, it is better to plant low-growing varieties with a height of 4-6 cm.For active sports, a low lawn of 2-3 cm is needed. The denser the planting, the more beautiful will look like a lawn. The optimal parameter is 30,000 shoots per 1 square meter.
7. Colour. The shade of the lawn grass varies from pale light green to dark green, so always check how juicy the color will be.

Top lawn seed growers

Now let's talk about the best manufacturers who have already established themselves and received enough positive feedback from customers. If the timing of the landscape design does not “burn”, then use seeds that will sprout in one to two weeks, and gradually the site will be covered with a green carpet. Our experts identified the following 11 companies among seed producers.

DLF

Rating: 5.0

The experts put the manufacturer DLF in the first place. The company has its own laboratories and is constantly testing lawn grass in order to develop varieties that are resistant to drought, dampness or frost. The manufacturer's catalog contains seeds for the professional decoration of sports fields, as well as grass for amateurs to decorate the yard. The company is also actively engaged in the production of seeds for forage lawns, which cause increased digestion and increase milk production in cows. The owners of country houses in the reviews like that the lawn turns out to be very dense and weeds do not break through it.

Our experts considered the grower to be the best as it has Quick Action seeds that are designed for those who cannot wait. This applies to cases where you need to quickly decorate the landscape after construction or have green grass on the site as soon as the snow melts. The lawn begins to germinate already at a temperature of +3 … + 5 degrees and it is immediately allowed to walk and run on it, and not wait for the grass to take root.

Advantages

• takes long roots;
• grass with increased resistance to creases;
• the lawn remains green even with a lack of moisture;
• grows on its own and covers last year's bald patches.

disadvantages

• high cost of seeds;
• the first year you will need regular weeding;
• if you place a frame pool on it for 3 months, then the grass under it will die out.

DSV

Rating: 4.9

The producer is ranked first in the selection and production of grass seed in Germany. The company is known for the constant growth of product quality and the invention of new varieties. That is why 25% of the company's employees are exclusively engaged in breeding. The manufacturer owns the patented 'Pearl' technology with a moisture-accumulating shell. Thanks to this, the seeds swell and germinate faster. According to customer reviews, it can be seen that the grass is distinguished by reliable germination, where after sowing there are no empty areas.

Experts have placed the manufacturer in the category of the best because of the special seed treatment technology, which affects the growth of grass and the strength of the lawn. Cereals are processed using the DynaSeed Power system. This implies saturation of seeds with bacteria, microelements, macroelements, growth stimulants, and gluminous substances. The manufacturer also adds germination stimulants and biological components to them. As a result, the amount of grass on the lawn exceeds that of other firms by 15%.

Advantages

• IQ quality assurance system is used;
• special seed treatment technology;
• a large selection of herbs for their intended purpose;
• durable turf.

disadvantages

• high cost of production;

The following crops can be found in the company's catalog: sheep fescue, perennial ryegrass, perennial ryegrass, red fescue, field sprouting, etc. The manufacturer provides a large selection of products for decorating football fields and golf courses, ennobling the local area.

In our opinion, the producer is the best due to the release of a special type of grass – modified red fescue. Thanks to cultural transformations, the company's scientists have managed to achieve erect stems with moderate stiffness. This allows the lawn to be cut to a height of 1.5 cm so that the green surface remains not too prickly and suitable for play. This type of grass can be sown mixed with others (red fescue Audobon, meadow bluegrass), which expands the design possibilities.

Advantages

• a weakly expressed rhizome does not spoil the appearance of the grass upon close examination;

Experts drew attention to the manufacturer in view of the release of the Grassc Seed grass mixture. It is a versatile lawn suitable for recreational and decorative purposes. It can be used to decorate the front of a building or backyard. The grass develops quickly after sowing and can withstand trampling.

For storage, 60,000 m² are used. The manufacturer's products are divided into four categories: grasses for agriculture, lawn grasses, bioseeds for biogas production and certified varieties of regional products. Buyers in reviews praise the products of the German company for the '3 in1' technology, which implies the presence of fertilizers in the shell of each seed. Thanks to this, the lawn of your dreams can be grown even in adverse conditions without much effort.

We considered the manufacturer to be the best due to the widest variety of products.

Most of all, the manufacturer uses a variety of red hair-like fescue, which, judging by user reviews, does not prick when walking with bare feet. Sowing grass requires deep digging, soil fertilization and raking. For germination, a depth of immersion of seeds of up to 1 cm is required. Customers also note the optimal consumption of goods – 1 kg is enough for sowing an area of ​​40 m².

Our experts have listed the manufacturer as the best for the release of grass that grows confidently in the shade.

Lilliputian

Rating: 4.4

This brand produces seeds that are positioned to create a lawn that requires less maintenance. The name itself alludes to the short length of the blades and the slow growth of the stems. The low growth of the grass cover is ensured by a specially selected composition of seeds, which has collected in itself: two types of red fescue, hairy fescue, meadow bluegrass, altered fescue, sprouting bent and thin fescue. This combination makes the lawn both dense and slows down its growth, which is confirmed by buyers in the reviews. Even due to the heterogeneity of the mixture, the lawn tolerates various climatic changes better, since some crops are more resistant to drought, while others are more resistant to frost. Slow growing cereals are not demanding on soil quality. They gradually develop a dense root system, which prevents the formation of bald patches.

The experts singled out this manufacturer due to the more economical use of the material during sowing. 1 kg is enough to create a lawn of up to 50 m². This consumption allows you to get by with one sachet of 0.5 kg in a summer cottage and not overpay.

In the reviews, summer residents share that it is not difficult to care for the lawn – in the spring, a little fertilization with nitrogen and combing out the dead leaves is required. You can mow the stems first up to 6-8 cm, and then up to 3-4 cm.

We considered the grower to be the best in terms of the release of seeds from which the lawn grows with a high resistance to stress. The herbal mixture 'Universal' from this company is suitable for creating a green lawn in the yard, where you can install a swing, barbecue and garden furniture. After removing these items, the grass quickly regenerates.
