How to use GroRight® Lawn Establishment Fertiliser

A good root structure is important for a healthy lawn, so before laying turf or sowing lawn seed, it helps to make sure there is a good supply of the correct nutrients available with an application of Rolawn’s GroRight Lawn Establishment Fertiliser.

Formulated using a slow release technology, which is key for promoting all round plant strength, it is suitable for all soil types and for any turf or seed. The technical specification also makes it suitable for use as a top feed, to replenish the nutrients in an established lawn.

How to apply pre-turfing and pre-seeding fertiliser

  • Prepare the soil by rotovating and raking and removing all debris, weeds and large stones. 
  • Spread GroRight Lawn Establishment Fertiliser by hand or with a spreader at the recommended rate of 40g per m².
  • Rake into the top 25mm of the soil so that the majority of the granules are not visible.
  • Turf can be laid or seed sown immediately after application of GroRight Lawn Establishment Fertiliser but should be completed within 48 hours.
  • Newly-laid turf must be watered well. Seed beds must be kept moist.

Applying GroRight Lawn Establishment Fertiliser as a lawn top feed

  • Feed as soon after mowing as possible, to give the feed time to work before the next cut.
  • It is advisable to apply when there is some moisture in the soil
  • If there is no rainfall in the 48 hours following application, irrigate your lawn.
  • Can be mixed with a topdressing as part of a regular maintenance routine.

Important update: Temporary 6.5% surcharge effective 7 April 

At Rolawn, we are committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and service our customers expect, so we want to be open with our customers about a change that will affect pricing from Tuesday 7th April. 

This decision has been taken in response to disruption to energy supplies, which has led to significant increases in wholesale prices, affecting not only fuel and fertiliser but also costs throughout our wider supply chain. As a business that relies heavily on fuel for both transport and operations, these sustained cost pressures have become increasingly difficult to absorb.  

While we have worked hard to mitigate the impact, the scale and pace of recent price increases have now exceeded what we can sustain internally, and we therefore need to recover a proportion of these externally driven increases. 

From Tuesday 7th April, a temporary 6.5% surcharge will apply to all products.  

We know that any increase in price is frustrating, particularly at a time when many businesses and households are already feeling under pressure. That is why we want to be clear that this is not a decision we have made lightly, and not one we wanted to make. It has been introduced solely to help offset unavoidable cost inflation and allow us to continue delivering the quality, reliability and service standards associated with Rolawn. 

We will continue to monitor market conditions closely and will review this surcharge as soon as circumstances allow, providing reasonable notice of any changes. We recognise that any price increase is unwelcome, but this step is necessary to ensure the continuity and reliability of our operations during a period of ongoing uncertainty. 

We remain committed to providing the quality, reliability and service standards you expect from Rolawn, and we truly appreciate your understanding and continued support. 

If you have any questions, please contact our customer support team who will be happy to help.
