Planting Instructions

New Seeding

  1. Prepare the soil by tilling to a depth of 4-6 inches.
  2. Conduct a soil test to be sure your soil has the proper nutrients it needs for a healthy lawn.
  3. Sow the grass seed by evenly spreading according to the recommended seeding rates.
  4. Rake, harrow, or otherwise work the seed into the soil 1/8″ deep.
  5. Keep the area well watered until the seeds germinate and the seedlings have grown sufficiently to establish a lawn, then water as needed.

Overseeding or Re-Seeding

  1. Before overseeding, it is important to prepare the soil.
  2. Conduct a soil test to be sure your lawn has the proper balance of nutrients.
  3. Mow or clip the existing grass as closely as possible.
  4. Remove clippings and rake, harrow lightly, or aerate the soil where there is existing lawn. This will allow the new seed to make contact with the soil.
  5. Sow the seed and gently rake to cover.
  6. Keep the lawn moist until seedlings are established, then water as needed.
