Cold weather can do some serious damage to your grass. Fortunately, with these yard care tips from Lawn Doctor of Georgetown-Round Rock, you can replace those muddy patches with some healthy green grass. Here are our recommendations for successfully planting grass seeds.
Our Seed Planting Tips
Time your treatments properly. The right time for planting is determined by your grass type, so do your research into your specific lawn care needs.
Prepare your yard. Make sure to smooth out bumpy areas and remove large rocks and other objects. This will create a smooth lawn that is much easier to mow and maintain in the future.
Prepare your soil. You want to make sure your soil has all the right nutrients for proper growth. To accomplish this, conduct a pH test.
Plant grass seed. Every seed type has specific instructions, so follow the advice on the packaging. When applying the seeds, a seed spreader can help you lay them out in a uniform way.
Cover the grass seed. Once the seeds are spread, they need to be covered in order to remain in place. However, covering them with too much soil will deprive them of sunlight. The middle ground is a bit less than one quarter inch of topsoil.
Water the growing grass. The top layer of the soil must remain moist if your seeds are going to grow properly. Your goal should be to provide this moisture without over watering and making things soggy. This will involve light watering 2 or 3 times every day. Once the germination process begins, you can shift to a less frequent watering schedule, but with a heavier dosage. As your grass reaches maturity, you can water it like a regular lawn.
