Lawn Seed – Specialty

Newton's specialise in providing lawn seed and advice for home lawners and commercial operators. Arguably, we have the widest range of seed and mixes in the country - certainly enough to satisfy any requirement a customer might have. Most of our seed is direct from our growers in Canterbury so it's New Zealand seed for New Zealand conditions. The rest is proprietary lines, mainly from the USA (fescues and bentgrass).

Newton’s Specialty Lawn Seed 

Choosing the right lawn seed is a delicate decision. At Newton’s, you will find a varied selection of specialty lawn seed. Achieve the lush green lawn you’ve been envisaging with quality and affordable bags of seed designed to suit different lawn types, soil conditions and New Zealand’s diverse local climates.

Each of our products comes with its own unique benefits. From Kikuyu to New Zealand Browntop, Newton’s will help you pick the grass that meets your needs. Whether you live coastally or in the hot temperatures of Northland, want a low-maintenance lawn or one that needs work but looks extra luscious, we have the product for you. Our range also includes options for lawn tennis courts, croquet and golf - but all of our collection can result in an exquisite home lawn to enhance the appeal of your home.
