Product Information

If it's your first time using grass seed, it's handy to know whether or not grass seed will work on top of the soil. As grass seed is usually small, a layer of topsoil will reduce its chances of growing. Bermudagrass is a very popular lawn grass in the south, thanks to its heat resistance and drought resistance, fast growth, and ability to tolerate even heavy foot traffic. Other warm season grasses require higher humidity. Zoysia grass is a low-maintenance grass that produces a dense growth, making it popular for golf courses and homeowners who prefer a lawns that requires a minimum of care. Planting in mid-to-late spring allows these seedlings the most hospitable environment that encourages growth prior to any of these environmental stresses.’

By comparison, warm season grasses do very well in the worst heat of summer and tend to be very drought resistant. If you have extended periods when your lawn is brown and dry during the summer, you may want to consider seeding with a warm season grass.If you’re having issues getting a lawn developed, try this product from Empathy which can be sowed for an entirely new lawn, overseeded or used as a patch repair. St. Augustine is one of the few lawn grasses that can grow even in sandy soil. It’s also drought- and heat-tolerant. If you’ve gotten a good soil test, it will include how much of which fertilizer and how much lime you’ll need to put down to amend the soil perfectly. How much sun does your yard get? Look for a seed variety or mix that is full-sun tolerant if your yard gets six hours or more of direct sunlight each day.

High clay soils often benefit from having compost turned in, which adds nutritional and water holding capabilities to the soil. Do not make the mistake of adding sand and straw for drainage; there’s a reason they’re combined with clay to make adobe! Bluegrass, as the name implies, has a bluish-green color when established, and it is a soft, fine-bladed lawn that withstands cold and foot traffic.If you’ve had problems in the past with fruit or vegetables developing blossom end rot, basically brown rotted spots on the flower end of the fruit, you have a calcium deficiency in your soil. For the very few soils that are naturally alkaline, applying sulfur will help lower the pH to a more tolerable level. Should I use weed killers? Though you’ve probably seen newly planted grass with straw on top of it, straw can sometimes blow away in high winds and poor-quality straw can contain weed seed, which is the last thing you want mixed with your new seed. By starting from when your grass is growing rather than when it was planted, slower-sprouting varieties also get the opportunity to become well established before adding fertilizer. After much to-ing and sowing, we've come to the final decision on the best grass seed... Of course, it had to go to Miracle-Gro EverGreen Complete 4in1. The value for money, phenomenal results, and the variety of what this product does make it go to the top of our list. When to sow grass seed:

Wait to mow your new grass until it’s at least 3 inches tall. Mowing too soon can pull the delicate new grass right out of the soil. Applying too much water can prevent the seed from germinating, as it rots in the wet conditions. Too much water can also cause problems with gas exchange, keeping the seed from getting the air it needs to grow well. Prepare the ground to be planted by removing stones and debris, and raking over the area to ensure it is as even and finely textured as possible.Though St. Augustine grass is not as wear-tolerant as other warm season grasses, it has heat resistant qualities in humid parts of the South and Gulf states that is second to none, though it does not tolerate cool temperatures well. Expect to see new growth appearing between 5-30 days after planting. It should take around 30 days to get established and two months to be ready for mowing,’ says Witz.

While technically you can plant grass seed in the winter, it’s best to wait until the spring for warm-season grasses. Overseeding involves planting both a cool season and a warm season grass in your lawn. When your lawn begins to brown due to heat or cold, it’s a good time to plant the other grass type. This allows the new seed to compete with weeds effectively without choking out your established lawn. Overseeding is a very popular option for a year-round green lawn. There are many types of grass commonly grown for lawns, but they generally fall into two categories: warm season grasses and cool season grasses. Cool season grass seeds Warm-season grasses, which include Bermudagrass, centipede grass, zoysia, and St. Augustine, do best in the hot summer/mild winter areas of the southern U.S. These grasses go dormant over the winter, but they look good spring through fall. For these grasses, Brian Feldman recommends planting in late spring or early summer, when temperatures average about 80 degrees.Cool season grasses prefer the milder summer temperatures of northern climes, and they tend to turn brown if temperatures get too hot. They also go dormant during the coldest stretch of winter. Plant cool season grass seeds in the late summer through early fall. Cool-season grasses develop deep root systems that can allow them to survive the cold winter months,’ says Erinn Witz, co-founder of Seeds & Spades. A starter fertilizer provides the necessary nutrients to help the new grass seedlings grow, develop a strong root system and become well established.
