Johnsons Lawn Seed: Ace in the pack

 

Ace Lawn is a revolutionary seed mixture designed to meet today’s growing demand for greener, low-maintenance lawns that deliver both beauty and resilience.

 

By combining Tetraploid Perennial Ryegrass, Red Fescue andMicroclover®, Ace Lawn creates a hard-wearing, multipurpose lawn that looks stunning while working harder behind the scenes.

 

At the heart of the mix is Microclover® – a specially developed, tiny-leaved white clover that integrates seamlessly with grass to produce a smooth, traditional-looking lawn with added benefits. Unlike standard clover, Microclover® is discreet and evenly distributed, helping to maintain a rich, green colour all year round. Its natural ability to fix nitrogen into the soil means Ace Lawn reduces the need for fertiliser applications, offering both environmental and cost-saving advantages.

 

Designed to be durable, Ace Lawn is ideal for family gardens and high-traffic areas where performance matters as much as appearance. The Tetraploid Ryegrass provides fast establishment and strength, while the Red Fescue delivers fine texture and density. The result is a robust, versatile sward that thrives in a wide range of conditions.

 

Ace Lawn also supports biodiversity. By leaving areas unmown and allowing the Microclover® to flower, lawns can provide vital food for pollinators such as bees and butterflies – an increasingly important feature in sustainable garden and landscape design.

 

With its blend of toughness, visual appeal and ecological benefits, Ace Lawn sets a new standard for the modern lawn.
