Here are some great tips for planting grass as part of your Mobile County yard care program.
Our Seed Planting Tips
- Utilize Proper Timing. Each grass type is different, so make sure you are applying seeds at the right time of year for your specific lawn.
- Prepare Your Yard. If you fail to even out bumpy patches in your yard and remove large rocks, it will be very difficult to mow your grass in the future.
- Prepare Your Soil. A pH test before planting will let you know which nutrients need to be added to your soil.
- Planting Grass Seed. Follow the instructions that come with your seeds. Utilize a spreader to add the seeds to your yard in the right way.
- Covering the Grass Seed. After spreading, it is important to cover your seeds in the right way. They should have less than 1/4 inch of topsoil on them, allowing them to remain in place but also giving them enough sunlight.
- Water the Growing Grass. Moisture is important at all stages, but the amount of watering will vary. Start out by watering lightly two or three times per day. Once the seeds germinate, switch to heavy watering, but do it less often. As the grass matures, give it water as you would a regular lawn.
