Planting Instructions
New Seeding
- Prepare the soil by tilling to a depth of 4-6 inches.
- Conduct a soil test to be sure your soil has the proper nutrients it needs for a healthy lawn.
- Sow the grass seed by evenly spreading according to the recommended seeding rates.
- Rake, harrow, or otherwise work the seed into the soil 1/4″ deep.
- 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
- Before overseeding, it is important to prepare the soil.
- Conduct a soil test to be sure your lawn has the proper balance of nutrients.
- Mow or clip the existing grass as closely as possible.
- 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.
- Sow the seed and gently rake to cover.
- Keep the lawn moist until seedlings are established, then water as needed.
Undesirable Lawns
Rid your lawn of undesirable grasses following the steps below so that you can establish a desirable lawn:
- During any growing season, spray the established undesirable turf with a non-selective herbicide labeled for lawn use. Follow the directions on the label.
- After the lawn turns brown, continue with your seeding program as outlined above. Be sure to start with a soil test or a complete lawn fertilizer.
Improving Bare Spots
Mow your lawn closely, then remove leaves, dead grass, etc. Rake, harrow lightly, or aerate the bare spots to prepare the seedbed. Conduct a soil test to be sure the soil has the proper balance of nutrients. Fertilize and lime if needed.
