After what can only be described as a scorching UK summer, many gardens are looking worse for wear. While basking in endless sunshine and heatwaves might feel like a dream, our lawns often pay the price - turning dry, patchy, and lifeless.
If your grass has gone from lush green to brittle brown, you're not alone. Luckily, there's an easy fix: reseeding. Garden lovers hoping to revive their tired turf can turn to grass seed as a reliable, cost-effective solution. While local garden centres stock plenty of options, you don't even need to leave the house as many top-rated products are available on Amazon for speedy doorstep delivery.
One brand that's been gaining serious attention is GroundMaster. Their most popular product is the Premium Lawn Grass Seed, which is available in a variety of bag sizes, ranging from as small as 500grams to as large as 25kg sacks. Prices vary from £10 for the smallest bag to £124.99 for the largest option.
The grass seeds provide coverage up to 60 square metres per kg. They're also pet-friendly and can breathe new life into lawns in any season. So far, the product has garnered more than 5,000 customer reviews and ratings on Amazon, reports the Mirror.
One customer reported seeing results in '10 days', after adhering to the instructions on the pack. They added: "I also sprinkled a thin layer of fine soil over the top to hide the seed from the birds that would have eaten it all.
"I kept the seed watered - never letting it dry out, then about 10 days later the seed just burst into life. I've now got a nice green lawn. This is the second 5kg bag of this I've bought, and I'd buy it if I needed any more."
Meanwhile, B&Q stocks Verve Universal Grass seeds for £10 per 1.5kg box. The product boasts excellent reviews, with one customer commenting: "Bought before and renewed lawn resulting in thick, lush grass even in shady areas."
Specialist shade-resistant grass seed is also on offer, such as the Gro-Sure Shady Lawn Seed, priced at £9 from Wickes. Its blue coating deters birds whilst providing nourishment to the seed.
Another Amazon customer who tried GroundMaster's Premium Lawn Grass Seed reported 'fast-growing' results and a 'lovely, strong-looking grass'. They added: "Approximately three weeks after planting and watering the seeds well, the grass started to come through, and it's looking really good.
"It still needs to thicken up a bit, but I am pleased with its progress so far and would recommend this seed." Love dreamy Welsh homes? Sign up to our newsletter here
A third buyer experienced more modest results: "Had grown well in most areas, however, (there were) patches in other areas where it has struggled to grow. Not quite living up to expectations."
An additional purchaser commented: "Great value for money! I'm forever buying boxes of seed, especially in the spring, to bring the grass back to life after winter. I decided to go for a 5kg bag to help me, as the lawn was so patchy.

"Definitely worth buying. The grass has come through really thick and green! I've bought some more for my dad now." GroundMaster's Premium Lawn Seed can be purchased on Amazon.
