Our Seed Planting Tips
Utilize Proper Timing. Planting times can vary between varieties of grass, so do some research on your specific grass type and make sure that now is an appropriate time for seed planting.
Prepare Your Yard. Uneven areas and large objects such as rocks can create difficulty down the road. If your lawn is uneven, it will be very hard to mow properly. Level out the area before planting seeds to save yourself from this problem.
Prepare Your Soil. A pH test is needed to determine which nutrients your soil is lacking.
Planting Grass Seed. A seed spreader will help you apply seeds to your yard properly.
Covering the Grass Seed. Cover your seeds with less than one quarter inch of topsoil. This will provide them with enough soil to remain in place, while also maintaining access to vital sunlight.
Water the Growing Grass. Seeds need to be watered in stages. For the first phase, lightly water the seeds two or three times every day. After germination, switch to a heavier, but less frequent watering schedule. Once they reach maturity, you can water freely as you would a typical lawn.
