If your yard is more mud than grass, it may be time to start from scratch. Planting a lawn from seed is one task that can be a bit intimidating to do on your own. If you’re looking for tips for nurturing a lawn from seed to turf in Cedar Park, our yard care experts have a few tips.
Our Yard Care Guide For Planting Grass Seed
Avoid some common pitfalls by keeping these pointers in mind as you prepare to plant grass seed:
- Aim to plant in the optimal growing period. Different types of grasses have different growing periods. If, like most homeowners in Cedar Park, you opt to plant warm season grass, the best time is when the daily temperature hovers at around 80 degrees. Cool season grasses, in contrast, thrive in the cooler weather of early spring or fall.
- Ensure the soil is well prepared. Preparing your soil includes removing obstacles like stones and fallen tree branches as well as dirt mounds and dents that could eventually make mowing difficult. We also highly recommend testing the pH of your soil to make sure it offers the right environment for growth. Our soil pH balancing service can be a huge help with this task.
- Keep seed and soil moist through germination. After you’ve spread the seed and covered it with top soil, the final step is to maintain proper moisture levels as the seed matures. Water often, using a light spray, but avoid allowing the soil to become soggy or develop puddles.
