It comes as no surprise that allowing your kids and pets to do what they please in your garden will leave your lawn looking tired. Especially when your dog is constantly digging it up and doing zoomies while your kids are running wild. Here’s some advice to help you choose the best grass seed for kids and pets and to give your garden the energy it needs to keep up!
What grass seed for gardens with kids and pets?
As a parent or dog owner, you will know that neither your kids nor pets have a mind for landscaping or gardening. But why should they – they are using your garden to have fun! But even though they are having the time of their lives, your lawn won't be enjoying it as much. And by choosing the ideal grass seed for kids and pets, you will be helping your lawn thrive year after year.
We have seed mixes that will help your lawn recover. Regardless of whether it's your pets that are wearing it out or if it's your kids (and their pals) using it as a playground - the correct seed will make your lawn lush again.

The best grass seed for kids and pets
To give your lawn additional strength and boost the greenness of your lawn, it’s a good idea to feed your lawn using pet-friendly organic lawn food.
This grass feed is child and pet-friendly while giving your lawn the essential nutrients needed to thrive all year round. This organic lawn food is safe. But keep your kids and pets away from the lawn when applying the feed until the granules dissolve. This will help feed your lawn properly and ensures your grass gets the maximum benefit from it.
