All You Need to Know About A1 Lawn Sports Grass Seed

To the uninitiated, grass is grass: it's all green and looks roughly the same, right? Not quite! If you run a sports venue, you'll know just how untrue that statement is. Grass on sports fields has to be durable, hard-wearing and fast-growing, for reasons we’ll cover in a little more detail below. One seed that fits that brief perfectly is Premiership Pro Grass Seed from A1 Lawn.

High-octane, action-packed sports like football, rugby and cricket all have one thing in common: they’re played on grass. Most ordinary domestic grass would struggle to cope with the kind of intensive usage that a sports field experiences during a game, especially when back-to-back matches are played week in, week out.

That’s where sports grass seed comes in. Designed specifically for football, rugby and cricket pitches (to name a few), this specially-formulated seed contains a unique blend of cultivars to improve its wear-resistance. The grass itself differs from regular domestic grass, too; our sports seeds contain Tetraploid Ryegrass, an extraordinarily resilient variety that was successfully used in the 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cups.

Now we’ve covered sports seed as a whole, let’s take a look at Premiership Pro specifically. This is our latest and greatest formulation, incorporating the very latest technology for optimal wear resistance. It has a number of stand-out attributes that make it perfect for sports pitches, including rapid growth (5-21 days). This makes it ideal for making patch repairs and thickening particularly well-worn areas (like the goal area on a football field, for instance).

SASA, DEFRA & FERA certified, Premiership Pro is harvested in the UK - and has been optimised for the British climate. It’s not just good for sports fields, either. If you have kids that enjoy playing sports or running around in the garden, this rugged and fast-growing seed is exactly what you need.

Similarly, if you’re looking to grow a new lawn and your priorities are thickness and durability, you can’t go wrong with Premiership Pro.
