I had a resin patio fitted a few weeks ago, the surrounding parts of the lawn are now fairly rough and bumpy. The plan is to rotivate, level and seed over the next couple of weeks. I'm looking for a bit of advice on which seed to sow, I've looked at A26 So Green, Rolawn Medallion and Boston Seeds Premier.
Any thoughts on these?
Thanks

One of the major advantages of A26 is that it now uses Galleon (previously Abernile) which is a regenerating perennial ryegrass. RPRs are a relatively recent development in the world of turf. Not only do you have the traditional wear tolerance of ryegrass, but with RPR it can now self repair in the same way that fescues, bents, etc can.

Thanks, I saw you'd recommended it a couple of times on previous threads. It sounds like it's still a good option, I just want something that will look great but be able to withstand some wear and tear.

Sounds good, is that also suitable for over-seeding?

I have always used garden centre or BnQ family lawn mix spec seed without any real issues, seems to be whatever is avialble because the content mix (detailed) changed from buying one bag to the next over 6 months last year. But if your redoing the lot its nice to know what your using and why.
