Which lawn seed?

digit101 · September 2021

Hi, which lawn seed would be suitable for my garden?

I was thinking of a1 lawn pro am26 which is similar to rolawns medallion? Would this be suitable?

I would like the grass to be able to take some wear but still have a nice appearance.

The garden has a laurel hedge and a brick wall. It gets direct sunlight until around 3pm when an oak tree causes shade.

Below are some pictures

I've had a quick look at Rolawns medallion and in my opinion they aren't similar, it doesn't say what's in the rolawn mix but if it's premium turf it shouldn't have a cheap filler like strong creeping fescue, it not a great grass for more ornamental lawns.

I feel that, unless you want the centre court at Wimbledon, or a bowling green, almost any bog standard grass seed from any outlet will give a decent enough result.
The amount of wear and tear a lawn gets is also down to climate and soil conditions. You have an established laurel hedge, and trees, so that's competition for moisture as well as creating shade.
It also depends how much time and effort you want to spend on it. Lawns can become a huge chore
