With the soggy conditions of winter and spring, your lawn is likely not in the best shape. With expert lawn maintenance tips from Lawn Doctor of Cape Cod, you can replace those muddy spots with beautiful and fresh green grass. Here are our guidelines for proper grass seed planting.
Our Expert Lawn Maintenance Tips
- Utilize Proper Timing. With each grass type, there is an ideal time frame for planting seeds. Do some research about your grass type to figure out if now is an appropriate time for planting.
- Prepare Your Yard. If you’re able to smooth out your soil and remove bumps and large rocks, it will be much easier to mow your grass in the future.
- Prepare Your Soil. The pH level of your soil will tell you which nutrients need to be added, so pick up a pH test and use it to gather vital information.
- Planting Grass Seed. There will be specific nuances for each seed type, so follow any directions you find on the packaging.
- Covering the Grass Seed. Your seeds need to be covered with just enough soil to avoid being blown away, while still receiving ample sunlight. About 1/4 inch of topsoil should do the trick.
- Water the Growing Grass. In the early stages, water the seeds lightly a few times per day. Once they germinate, water them less often, but more heavily. When the grass begins to grow, you can water like you would a typical lawn.
