Best Quality Lawn Seed for Permanent Lawns 
The first thing of importance in making a permanent lawn is to have good soil 
that holds moisture well and has sufficient drainage so as not to become ‘soggy. 
Once the soil is well prepared, the all-important thing is to secure a high-quality 
lawn seed; one that is made up of the proper proportions of the best perennial 
grasses. The cheap lawn seeds contain mostly annual grasses. These look fine the 
first season, but disappear during the first winter, leaving your lawn thin and 
patchy. We do not handle the cheap mixtures. Remember, cheap seed means wasted 
effort and a poor lawn.
