Now is a good time to fix those bare patches in your lawn. To replace those eye sores with beautiful green grass, all you have to do is follow these expert Lawn Doctor of Killeen-Temple-Gatesville yard care tips.
Our Seed Planting Tips
- Utilize Proper Timing. Each grass type is different, so do a little research and find out if now is an appropriate time to plant.
- Prepare Your Yard. A level lawn will save you a lot of mowing difficulty down the road. Get rid of any rocks and even out bumpy areas of your yard before you lay down those seeds.
- Prepare Your Soil. The pH level of your lawn will indicate which nutrients you need to add. You can pick up a pH test from any yard supply store.
- Planting Grass Seed. After purchasing seeds, make sure to carefully read any instructions on the packaging.
- Covering the Grass Seed. The trick is to cover these seeds with enough topsoil to hold them in place, while giving them access to enough sunlight. We recommend adding about 1/4 inch of soil on top of your seeds.
- Water the Growing Grass. Watering should be done in stages, according to the progress of the seeds. After the initial planting, water lightly up to three times per day. After germination, water heavily but less often. As your lawn begins to mature, give it the same amount of water you’d give to a regular lawn.
