Lifeless lawns transformed in '10 days' with 'fast-growing' grass seed
Gardeners have praised the Amazon grass seed for bringing back 'thick and green' lawns Heatwaves and continuous sunshine are lovely to bask in, but they can also cause havoc on lawns. Gardeners grappling with dead and lifeless grass can buy grass seed to bring dead greenery back to life. There are many options available at regular garden centres; however, shoppers opting for convenience can buy bags from Amazon and have them delivered straight to their door. One of the most popular grass seed brands on the marketplace is GroundMaster. Its most popular offering is the Premium Lawn Grass Seed, which comes in a range of bag sizes from as small as 500grams to as large as 25kg sacks. Prices range from £10 for the smallest bag to £124.99 for the largest option. 63p-a-day supplement for menopausal women that aids with 'brain fog, joint aches' Delicious' afternoon tea gift shoppers can have delivered to their home for £5 with deal stack The grass seeds offer coverage up to 60 square meters per kg. They are also pet-friendly and can revitalise lawns in any season. GroundMaster's Premium Lawn Grass Seed has more than 5,000 customer reviews and ratings on Amazon. One shopper said they saw results in '10 days', after following 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." Elsewhere, B&Q sells Verve Universal Grass seeds at £10 for a 1.5kg box. The product has glowing reviews, with one shopper writing: "Bought before and renewed lawn resulting in thick, lush grass even in shady areas." Specific shade-tolerant grass seed is also available, like the Gro-Sure Shady Lawn Seed, which costs £9 at Wickes. Its blue coating keeps birds away and nourishes the seed. Another Amazon shopper who used GroundMaster's Premium Lawn Grass Seed said they saw 'fast-growing' results and a 'lovely, strong-looking grass'. They continued: "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." A third user had less impressive 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 customer said: "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."

'This grass seed repaired my lawn in a couple of weeks'
The winter and a big project had left my lawn in a poor state, so I was in need of some grass seed to help it recover. I decided to give the Pronto Seed Premium Grass Seed a try, and I was delighted with the results I'm a keen gardener, not quite up to Alan Titchmarsh's standards, but I take pride in keeping my outdoor space looking its best. So, I was devastated when winter left my lawn in a sorry state. After a project that involved digging up half the garden and shifting topsoil, it was in dire need of repair. The cost of turf was eye-watering, so I opted for grass seed instead. I was thrilled with the results and how quickly my lawn returned to normal. With so many options available, it was hard to know where to start. I chose the Pronto Seed Premium Grass Seed, a 1.4kg box priced at £14.49 on Amazon. Described as "fast acting and hardwearing", it sounded perfect for the job. With Amazon Prime's speedy delivery, it arrived the next day, and I got to work sowing it, reports Wales Online. Having rejuvenated my lawn before, I knew the drill. I used a fork to loosen the compacted soil, mixed the seed with compost, and kept it watered with a hosepipe during a dry spell. To my delight, after just over a week, the seed started to sprout. Once the seeds began to sprout, progress was rapid. Within days, the impact was noticeable, and after just over two weeks, the grass was nearly back to normal. The product's claimed 7-14 day timeframe held true in my experience, and its promise of "lush, green coverage in no time" was also fulfilled. However, I did notice a drawback in the shadier areas of my garden. The presence of a large acer tree, while visually stunning, means that certain spots receive limited sunlight. In these areas, the seed didn't grow as well, and although it did sprout, the grass was noticeably thinner. If your garden has similar shaded areas, it's worth taking this into consideration. Alternatively, you could opt for shade-tolerant grass seed, such as Gro-Sure Shady Lawn Seed, which is available at Wickes for £9. This specialized seed is designed to thrive in drier, shadier conditions and features a blue coating that deters birds and nourishes the seed. The packaging also includes a convenient built-in seed applicator. If you're a pet owner looking for the perfect grass seed, the Pegdev Pet Friendly Grass Seed (£17.20) from B&Q might just be your answer. It's designed to leave "fewer bare patches" and is touted as "low maintenance", with an impressive ability to bounce back from "rapid recovery from pet damage". Customers have been sharing their experiences with the Pronto seed, with one saying: "I used this Pronto Seed to overseed some patchy areas in my garden, and the results were impressive. Within a week, I noticed new grass sprouting, and by two weeks, the lawn looked much fuller and healthier." However, not everyone was completely satisfied, as another customer gave it three stars and remarked: "I had high hopes for this grass seed, but the results were just OK. The germination rate was decent, but it took longer than expected for the grass to fill in." On the flip side, another buyer was over the moon, stating: "I recently purchased Pronto Seed Grass Seed to rejuvenate my lawn, and I am thrilled with the results! After carefully preparing my garden and ensuring the right conditions for growth, I can confidently say that this product has exceeded my expectations in delivering a lush, green lawn."

'This fast-growing grass seed repaired my lawn in a couple of weeks'
I'm a keen gardener. Definitely not Alan Titchmarsh levels, but I like to keep my outdoor slice of paradise looking in good nick. So I was dismayed to discover the absolute havoc winter wreaked on my lawn. Add in a project that involved me digging up half the garden and having to shift a load of topsoil, and it was in a bit of a state. After taking a look at the price of turf and gulping, I turned to grass seed, only to be delighted with the results - and how quickly the lawn is looking back to normal. Combing through the reviews of the tidal wave of options, it's really difficult to know where to start. I settled on the Pronto Seed Premium Grass Seed, which comes in a 1.4kg box and is priced at £14.49 on Amazon. Said to be "fast acting and hardwearing" it sounded good to me, so I decided to give it a whirl. With the usual Amazon Prime speediness, it arrived the next day and I set to work sowing it. This wasn't my first rodeo when it comes to rejuvenating the lawn, so I made sure to use a fork to disturb the compacted soil a bit and mixed the seed with some compost to ensure the best chance of success. Similarly, we'd had a pretty dry spell with next to no rain, so I made sure to keep the seed watered with a hosepipe, and to my delight, after just over a week the seed began shooting up. There was no stopping it once those green shoots started appearing and within a matter of days after that it was really making an impact, with the grass almost back to normal after just over two weeks. The product description claims it works within 7-14 days, something I've found to be true, while it promises "lush, green coverage in no time", a statement that's also stood up in my experience. The only downside I've discovered is how it's grown in some of the shadier parts. There's a beautiful acer tree in my garden that's stunning but also sort of takes over a bit and hogs a lot of the sunlight. As such, it means there are a couple of spots that spend much of the day in the shade. It's noticeable in these areas that the seed hasn't grown as well, and while it has sprouted, the grass definitely isn't as thick here, so it's worth considering if your garden has shady areas. Specific shade-tolerated grass seed is also available, like the Gro-Sure Shady Lawn Seed that's priced at £9 at Wickes. That particular seed is designed to thrive in drier, shady conditions. It also has a clever blue coating that helps to keep birds away and nourishes the seed, while the pack features a handy built in easy to use seed applicator. As I've already mentioned, there's a whole variety of grass seed out there. One product worth flagging if you have a dog is the Pegdev Pet Friendly Grass Seed (£17.20) at B&Q. Promising "fewer bare patches", the seed is said to be "low maintenance" and has "rapid recovery from pet damage". Other shoppers also seem to be very happy with the Pronto seed.
