The Best Grass Seed for Lawns in Chichester and the West Sussex Climate

Choosing the right grass seed makes all the difference when it comes to establishing or repairing your lawn in Chichester or anywhere in West Sussex.

Best Grass Types for West Sussex:

– Ryegrass: hard-wearing, quick to germinate—great for family lawns

– Fescues: fine-leaved and drought-tolerant—ideal for ornamental lawns

– Bentgrass: suited to shady or moist areas—great for older gardens

When to Reseed:

– Spring (March to May)

– Early Autumn (September to October)

Tips for Success:

– Scarify first to create seed contact

– Use a pre-seed fertiliser

– Keep the seed moist for 2–3 weeks

– Avoid foot traffic until established
