Lawn in a Bag

Description

Get a beautiful lawn in just a few weeks with our 'Lawn in a Bag'. Our Lawnmix® Topsoil is mixed with hard wearing grass seed to create an easy to use and effective product with little effort and low maintenance.  No need to sow seed simply spread out your topsoil and let the magic happen!

PLEASE NOTE - THIS PRODUCT IS NOT TOPDRESSING SAND FOR IMPROVING AN EXISTING LAWN, AND SHOULD ONLY BE USED TO FILL ENTIRE AREAS WITH NO GRASS.

Our Jumbo Bag contains approx 1000kg (one tonne) of topsoil and should cover an area of approximately 15m2 to a depth of 50mm. You need to spread our 'Lawn in a Bag' deeper than normal to ensure an even distribution of grass seed - we advise giving it a good old rake out to make sure the seed is throughly spread. 

Allow 5 weeks for a new lawn to pop up - but please be aware due to the application being so important you may need to patch up some areas.  

*Bulk Bags and small handy bags must be used within 3 days of receiving them to ensure the seed contained will germinate.

Quantity Calculations

Topsoil and Sand

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 

m2 X 1.2 X Depth (inches)... then divide your total by 36 = tonnes required

Bark, Mulch and Compost

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 

m2 x 0.05 = cubic metres per 2 inch/50mm depth

Garden Lawn Turf

Length (m) X Width (m) = amount of rolls needed.  We advise that you order 10% extra so that you have plenty for offcuts.

Natural Stone Paving

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 you need.  Our packs are 15.25m2.

Gravel and Slate

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 

m2 x 0.04 = tonnes per 1 inch/25mm depth

Crusherrun

Use the Gravel Calculator then multiply by 1.25 (= tonnes per inch)

Conversion:

1 tonne = 1000kgs / 1 Jumbo Bag

1 cubic metre = 1000ltrs / 1 Jumbo Bag

Product Disclaimer

Weeds

We do not chemically treat our products for weeds. Weeds thrive in warm, wet weather and especially in very fertile soils and composts like our own. Although every care is taken to remove weeds during our screening process we can not guarantee that weed seeds are not present in the soil or compost that you receive. To keep your topsoil organic we suggest pulling up common weeds, when and if they appear, instead of using chemical weed-killers. Or purchase some of our anti-weed prevent membrane and some gravel or mulch, for an easy weed-free garden!

Gravel/Stone Size & Colour

Images are for representation only.  All products that Dandy’s supplies are naturally occurring products and may have slight variations in colour, size and content, individual rocks, stones or cobbles made be broken or misshaped because of this. Sizes of products specified are approximate and can vary.  Naturally occurring products such as slate, natural stone paving or gravel are sourced from quarries and so can often differ in appearance slightly from load to load.

We’re sorry to hear that you’re unhappy with your order. Our records show that the delivery was made on 24 June, but we have not received a complaint or notification of any issues, so unfortunately we have not yet had the opportunity to investigate or assist you.

As this is a natural topsoil product and is not chemically treated or sterilised, occasional weedseeds may be present. Small stones can also occur naturally within screened soil.
Grass-seed germination is heavily dependent on weather, temperature and moisture levels. Recent hot and dry conditions may have affected germination, particularly if the soil surface dried out. Depending on the seed variety and growing conditions, some grass seed can take up to eight weeks to fully germinate and establish.

We would always encourage customers to contact us as soon as they notice a problem, ideally with photographs, so our team can properly review the product and provide appropriate advice or support.

Despite watering daily the amount of seed that germinated was a lot lower than expected. There was plenty of seed in there, just a lot didnt take so have had to add another large bag of seed on top and maintain thr watering regimen. Good product otherwise, nice and fine and only a few clumps that needed breaking up with a rake while being spread across the damaged lawn.

Ordered 10 bags - 8 were good, other 2 were very lumpy and rock like, with no lawn-seed

Great results

This produced great results. I have a lush green lawn. I had to finish off a small area with seed and soil bought from a well known garden centre chain and it doesn’t come close.

My garden is very uneven and I needed to fill in the gaps. This has worked wonders. The grass is growing very well. Excellent delivery. Bags were easy to handle.

Lawn in a bag is a winner

Bought the 'lawn in a bag' as we'd had a lot of building work and the garden was a wasteland as a result. I'd already rotavated and levelled the area and simply leveled out the lawn in a bag on top. 10 days later and lots of watering and it's a sea of green - very pleased with it!

Fantastic

Chucked it on, levelled it off, 3 weeks later it’s perfect!

recent delivery of lawn in a bag

Well done for an excellent 1st order delivered exactly on time. You were recommended to me by another satisfied customer,and now I can understand why. Having the topsoil and grass seed already mixed in the bags is a real bonus and the new grass is already coming through. Superb service and great results.

5 bags of Lawn in a Bag

4 great bags, 1 must have been a Friday night bag, a few rocks and stones in there. Had them before, always do a great job especially after a lot of the lawn died off in the last 2 summers.

Great product that does why it claims, the only thing I can fault it was the seed distribution through the bag was a little inconsistent and I had to mix areas manually but it wasn’t a big problem

Great product but shipping/handling needs work

I ordered the Lawn in a Bag grass seed/topsoil mix. I had to chase it after three failed deliveries only to find it myself after researching where it might be lost in the PalletForce system. Once I located it, the depot said they didn't know when they could get it to me because they were so busy, but definitely by the end of the week. When that didn't happen I finally emailed the sales department at Dandy's (having rung their offices 3 times already) and they finally managed to get Palletforce to deliver it. Although the seed had already sprouted, we spread it anyway and it is doing well. The topsoil is good quality. However, when it arrived it was on 2 pallets. The driver said the original pallet had broken and that's probably the reason for all the delays.

Waiting for the new lawn

The soil and grass seed mix is great. Spreads really well and needs no sifting. Can't wait for it to turn green. Will buy more when the first lot gets going! Great company to buy from. Have had veggrow, soil, wood chips and lawn in a bag. Service has been impeccable. If only other businesses were as good, life would be easy!

Lawn in a bag

Despite a monsoon downpour after spreading there was sufficient seed remaining to create a thriving lawn. Even a later sowing for another area resulted in grass sprouting at the beginning of October just 7 days after spreading.

Genuinely pleased with the overall effect.

I also filled in sunken parts of lawn.

Lawn in a Bag!

Ordered the Lawn in a Bag mix online and it was delivered within 3 working days. We used the online calculator and had the perfect amount for what we needed. Within 2 days we could see green shoots and 1 week later it was about 4cm and really good coverage. Had so many neighbours comment on how quick it came up and how good it looks. Would recommend
