Our Seed Planting Tips
Prepare your yard. Dirt, large rocks, and uneven portions of your yard can make it difficult to mow your grass once it is in place. Remove large objects and smooth out these areas before planting to save yourself headaches down the road.
Prepare your soil. You can utilize a pH test before planting to give yourself a better idea of what nutrients need to be added to your soil.
Plant grass seed. Each seed type will come with specific instructions, so read them thoroughly before getting started. For optimal spreading, you can use a spreader and add your seeds evenly throughout your yard.
Cover the grass seed. This is a crucial part of the process, because seeds must be covered in just the right way. The goal is to secure them in place with enough topsoil, without depriving them of access to sunlight. About one quarter inch on top should do the trick.
Water the growing grass. Moisture is required at every stage of the process, but watering levels will vary as you go along. In the beginning, you should water lightly two to three times per day. As the seeds germinate, this will shift into heavier watering, done less frequently. As your grass begins to develop, treat it like a regular lawn.
