Sewing a new lawn can be a laborious and fiddly process and being methodical and organised will prove very helpful. Here are a few tips to help you with this task.

Remember – all grass is not the same. Think carefully about what sort of lawn you would like, check out different types of grass and their needs and characteristics
Here's a step by step guide of tips for getting the most out of the process
- Check the PH of your soil to see what kind of grass will thrive
- Remove obstacles like rocks, branches and other detritus from the soil you are going to sew on
- Break up any large lumps or clumps of soil – you can use a tiller for this
- Make sure the soil is level, perhaps with a soil rake
- Roll the soil completely flat with a Garden Roller (filled for maximum pressure)
- Sew your seeds
- Use the Garden Roller (empty now for a more gentle roll) to smooth the seeds into the soil
- Irrigate your seeds and keep on watering throughout the growth
