‘I can honestly say this seed is excellent’
Patchy grass can quickly spoil the look of a garden, but garden fans say one product is helping them transform tired outdoor spaces into ‘thick and lush’ green lawns in a matter of weeks. With gardening season in full swing, the Pronto Seed Premium Fast Growing Grass Seed (1.4kg) is now available for £14.49 on Amazon.
Designed for rapid germination, the seed blend can begin sprouting in as little as seven to 14 days under the right conditions, the brand says. The fast growth makes it particularly appealing for gardeners keen to see visible results before summer gatherings and outdoor entertaining.
A 1.4kg pack can cover up to 84 square metres when overseeding an existing lawn or up to 42 square metres when establishing a completely new lawn with appropriate soil preparation. The brand says the mixture has been formulated to create dense, turf-like coverage while helping maintain a healthy green appearance.

The hard wearing blend is designed to cope with busy family gardens, including regular foot traffic from children and pets. By encouraging a strong root system, the grass is intended to recover more effectively from everyday wear and tear, the brand says.
Tailored specifically for the UK’s unpredictable weather conditions, the seed mixture is suitable for both sunny and partially shaded gardens. The resilient blend is designed to stay greener for longer while naturally helping to suppress weeds as the lawn becomes thicker.
Over at ScrewFix, they have the Westland Gro-Sure Smart Grass Seed (3.2kg) for £29.99 available. This one has a special formula that reduces seed loss and an aqua gel coating that soaks up to 400 times its weight in water, the site says.

One person said: “I had originally decided to use lawn rolls to create an instant garden effect, however obtaining rolls had become a challenge. On reading the information provided for this product and the fact that a customer service help line was provided, I decided to give this a try. I can honestly say this seed is excellent and at a fraction of the cost I would have had if I had bought lawn rolls. Exceptionally fast germination, five days after sowing, the seed had begun to sprout, within two weeks the lawn was green with some small bare patches, fast forward four weeks and the grass is thick and lush.”
Another added: “Great product, I have bought multiple packs, as the seed works quickly and the grass is strong and green. I would highly recommend it. I have used it on clay soil, which is very hard to seed etc. I have added a before and after picture to prove that the product works.”
A third commented: “Superb product. The grass grows really fast and within a few weeks it’s mowable. I’m really impressed.”
Some people removed a star and said: “The grass grew at a decent rate. Not all seeds took, but it did fill most of the patches with nice, fresh green-coloured grass. The box had leaked a little seeds out by the time I got it, but no bother at all, instructions were easy to follow.”
Another added: “I have used it before and it works, but every year I have to do it again.”
