💡 Pro Tip
Avoid seeding in summer heat or winter cold. The germination window is narrow. Test your soil pH before seeding — most grass types prefer 6.0–7.0 pH for optimal nutrient uptake.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much grass seed do I need per square foot?
New lawn seeding: Fescue needs 6–8 lbs per 1,000 sq ft. Kentucky Bluegrass needs 2–3 lbs. Bermuda needs 1–2 lbs. Overseeding requires half these rates.
Q: When is the best time to seed a lawn?
Cool-season grasses (fescue, bluegrass): seed in fall (September–October). Warm-season grasses (Bermuda, Zoysia): seed in late spring (May–June) after soil warms to 65°F+.
