When your grass gets patchy, discolored, or uneven, it can be pretty dispiriting—but it’s often an inevitable consequence of time. Over the seasons, you can expect grass plants to break down and get weaker, at which point you’ll need to reseed your lawn. For properties in Huntsville, our yard care team can help you prepare your turf for new growth.
Growing new grass from seed can be easier and more cost-effective—and with the right approach, it’s not too difficult. Let’s review some top recommendations for growing grass from seed.
How To Grow Grass From Seed
Reseeding your lawn can seem daunting from the outset, but strong planning and preparation can help to reduce those nerves. Here’s what you can do to set yourself up for success:
Speak to the experts. Expert input from your trusted yard care company can prevent a lot of headaches. You’ll want to make sure other treatments, like pre-emergent weed control, are implemented well in advance of reseeding. A team that knows your lawn can also offer expert advice for cultivating new grass.
Prepare your yard. You want a smooth, even yard for reseeding. This will help you ensure even coverage during the seeding process, and will allow grass plants to grow more easily. Clear out sticks, branches, stones, and other obstacles. Use a garden rake to even out any pits or bumps, too.
Test and boost your soil. To give new grass a good shot at growing, you need soil in excellent health. Test your soil to ensure pH levels and nutrient levels are appropriate. You may need to replenish soil quality with fertilization or other methods. Our team can help with that, too.
Choose hardy grass. For Huntsville yards, you’ll always want to choose a hardy, warm-weather grass variety. Ideal grass types include bermudagrass, tall fescue, and Bahia grass. These varieties should be planted during the warm months, giving them ample time to flourish before the cooler season.
