-
Begin by clearing the area of any debris, rocks, or weeds. Till the soil to a depth of 4-6 inches, ensuring it is loose and crumbly. Consider adding organic matter, such as compost, to improve nutrient content and drainage.
-
When it comes to seeding, an even distribution is key. Divide the area into sections and distribute the seed uniformly using a spreader. Follow the recommended seeding rate for optimal coverage.
-
Adequate moisture is vital for seed germination. Ensure the seeded area is kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Begin with frequent light watering, gradually reducing the frequency as the grass establishes. Avoid excessive watering, as it may encourage shallow root growth and weaken the turf.
-
Seeding is best done in early spring or early fall when the temperatures are mild. Be patient! Germination can take several weeks, but with proper care and maintenance, your lawn will flourish in due time.
-
Once your new lawn has sprouted, it requires continued care and attention. Gradually reduce watering frequency and increase the amount of water applied, encouraging deep root growth. Mow the grass when it reaches the recommended height, typically 3-4 inches, and avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass height at a time.
-
Feed your lawn with a suitable fertilizer to promote healthy growth and vibrant color. Regularly inspect for weeds and implement proper weed control measures to keep your new lawn free from unwanted competition.
