Lawn from seed advice

I_have_spoken

Do you really need a lawn? There's nothing worse than silly bit of grass of a few sq.m. which is a fiddle to mow.

Just a note about buying grass seed, check the packet is should give you a breakdown, (normally as percentage) of what variety of seeds you are buying.
You'll will want to check that if you buy multiple bags that they contain the same mix.
One year in b&q I found that family lawn mix contained identical mix of seed to the value mix at half the price.

Will do thank you for the tip!

No I don't need a lawn, I want one. The area is approx 52sq.m so hence asking advice growing from seed. I gave up our lawn to the dog and kids as paving was much easier to manage but now the dog has sadly died and the boys are no longer blasting footballs and taking over with trampolines etc I can reclaim what was once my have.
