essential by Barenbrug

The Essential Range of amenity grass seed mixtures has been developed to cover a wide range of applications, for grass on golf greens, football pitches and sports fields through to specialist areas like airfields and motorway embankments. The mixtures have been formulated to offer our assured performance at a competitive price. As a breeder of grass varieties, we have been able to utilise unique Barenbrug technologies and innovation in our Essential mixtures. 

 

For the highest quality, premier sports turf surfaces, we also have our professional Sport Range. The Barenbrug Sport Range utilises the best and latest grass varieties to create mixtures that are used at some of the most famous sporting venues, from the greens at St Andrews or pitches at Leeds United to tennis courts at The Queens Club. 

 

We think everyone should have access to good quality, affordable grass seed that delivers on its promises. That is why we have an ongoing commitment to quality and why we never compromise our standards. We apply the same principles to our essential range as we do to all our other ranges, just with slightly different ingredients in the bag. This gives you a simple, down-to-earth range for landscaping and sport.
