Brunnings Tough Lawn Seed

Brunnings tough grass seed – Absolutely rubbish. Wasted money on two boxes. Nothing grew except weeds despite prepping area and watering every day Show details

Seed not germinating – I have used 2/3 of packet for little area . Did all the right things, and the seed is either old or just hopeless. I’m going to make complaint to Brinnings

Disappointing – Only saw shoots for about 10 percent of the seed. Very disappointing. I think it is probably worth spending a few extra dollars and getting a better product. I would try something else. Show details

Peaks way too early – Bought this seed to replace some patches in the garden. Followed the instructions to the letter and was amazed at how quickly it grew. After about 2 weeks, it had outgrown the original grass so I thought I'd cut it. You cannot stand on this grass, the second you do, it flattens and never regains shape. But I've acquired a few covid pounds so that… Read more

may sound unfair, but when my 15kg cocker spaniel gets the same result, you know there is something dodgy about this stuff.

After cutting the grass, it appeared yellow and weedy.

Waste of time and money. Although super cheap, my hours of seeding, watering, shouting at the dogs and wife to get off the lawn... totally not worth it.

WARNING do not use this product – Grows really well then dies. A total waste of time effort and money. Will never use this product again. It is not a permanent fix. Use turf instead. Only lasts a few weeks

Rubbish – Purchased 1kg 2 months ago-Rye grass came up within a week. It has had rain on it and been mowed every week to the height shown on the box. Still only got Rye grass-definitely no couch of any kind be it Turbo or Creeping Red-NIL. In my opinion there is definitely no couch of any kind in the box of Brunnings Tough Lawn Seed that I purchased. I… Read more

have spread out remaining 1/4 of a packet on stainless steel surface and the only seed visible to me was Rye Grass. I feel I have been scammed-tried to send an E-mail to them about the product with no success.

Grows great once established – Live on the mid North Coast of New South Wales. Gets moist sea breeze on it most days. Clay soil that is always moist. This grass grows very thick is like a dark green carpet with long thin blades. It clumps so doesn't invade the garden beds. Tends to die off in summer but considering the drought combined with the hot summer where it has… Read more

established it is just thriving. I don't water it at all. I believe that things that need lots of water have no place in my garden.

Worst lawn seed. Makes you think you can never grow grass!! – Starts off fantastic. Strong green fast growth at first. But after about 2 months it starts dying in patches. Long stringy grass. Mowing a nightmare. Need to keep resowing it to keep it going. Avoid this!! Show details

Do waste your money - not tough – Do buy this product (hortico tough drought lawn seed) die in patches. It grows stringy fine blades, can’t be left long as it lays down and dies in patches. You can’t stand on it as your foot steps crush and kills the sections you just stood on. Even the mower wheels compress the grass, the crushed grass dies in a few days (at any height that you… Read more

set the mower) Very disappointed with the staff at bunnings - as they recommended the product as fast growing, tough as it had several different grass types in the box, it doesn’t. Only has one - the very fine stringy blades of grass – good for nothing kids cant play on it? Do waste your time or money buying this product as youll spend a fortune on water and time for no result Angelo (oak park victoria)

No stamina – Starts off like a house on fire but it needs constant watering. Once summer arrives along with higher temperatures it starts to wilt and eventually dies off. Have bought 10 kg of the local Bega blended grass seeds for the same price per kg and due to its suitability to the area I live in (Bega Valley), it leaves Brunnings tough lawn seed looking like a complete weakling. Not worth wasting your money on to be honest.  Show details

NOT A BLENDED GRASS SEED – I bought Bunnings branded lawn seed for a new lawn. It was supposed to be a blend of grasses but all that come up are the same. Very fine and spindly. Very patchy with I would say only about 10% of the seed germinating 90% just along for the ride. Very disappointing and I have wasted my money. If you want good quality lawn seed you will have to buy off some one else.  Show details

Keeps dying in patches – Keeps dying in patches after all that work grows fast and dies fast. Very patchy and the same species taken so far 10 boxes for about 100meters square and still needs more as it is patchy and keeps dying. Strange grass as it does not run like other grasses. Don't buy.  Show details

Re Out In The Country Look - Died When Warmer Weather Hit. Not So Tough! – My earlier review was premature. Everything not in shade died when warmer weather hit in November. Too much money (seed, water) and too much time was invested for this zero outcome - very frustrating and very wasteful. If Woolworths cared, they’d offer refunds to all and remove it from shelves.

Brunnings lawn seed – This product is cheap and nasty. It may have its place on the side of riverbanks but definitely not in a garden. It germinated well but patchy following the instructions in their entirety. It's unfortunate that I'm probably going to have to rip the whole thing up, poison it ad start again. It's like tough straw under foot, the kids cannot play on… Read more

it without shoes on as it is just too hard with 5mm thick shoots. Do not recommend to any family or homeowner. It's cheap and horrible stuff.

Horrible blend of grass. Looks like weeds, grows at different lengths and is like hard straw under foot

Brunnings lawn seed does not germinate – I bought quite a number of boxes of this seed to have adequate cover for my nature strip. It cost me $100 for the seed and $100 for th etop soil. I followed the instructions on the box. Only a few small patches germinated. The rest just will not germinate despite good quality soil, adequate watering and large amounts of seeds. What a waste of money and time!!! Does not germinate

This grass seed really is a "budget blend". Just horrible! – I previously posted here by clicking "comment", instead of "review", in error. So, here i go again. We are very unhappy that Brunnings can't even be bothered replying to an unhappy customers email. Why? We will never buy this grass seed ever again. It grows a lot longer and quicker than our other grass, so the lawn always needs mowing. Worse thing… Read more

is, it looks like weedy Nutgrass, and the Bindii weed just loves growing inside it. And, we hate Nutgrass and Bindii too! We are tempted to poison the whole lot of it, but then we'll have big bare dirt patches.

Everything! It's cheap and nasty!

Misrepresentation – It claims to be a blend of 4 tough grasses. I put a handful in a pot, and they are all the same species - not a blend. Furthermore, the grass is soft & delicate.
