UK Grass Seed Sowing Calendar
Timing your sowing correctly is the single biggest factor in achieving a successful, dense lawn.
Spring
Mar – May
Ideal for new lawns. Soil temperatures above 8°C ensure good germination. Overseed thin areas before summer growth masks bare patches.
Summer
Jun – Aug
Sowing possible but keep seed moist during establishment. Avoid sowing during drought or extreme heat. Water twice daily for best results.
Autumn
Aug – Oct
The best time to sow or overseed. Warm soil, cooler air and autumn rains create near-perfect establishment conditions. Fewer weed seeds germinating.
Winter
Nov – Feb
Avoid sowing on frozen or waterlogged ground. Dormant sowing (Jan–Feb) is possible in milder regions — seed germinates when temperatures rise.
