Seeding a New Lawn


Starting a lawn from seed is the least expensive way to transform your home or garden with a new lawn. The best time to start lawns from seed is just prior to the grass's season of most vigorous growth. First, you need to determine the type of grass that grows best in your climate, whether you need cool-season or warm-season grass. Think of cool-season grass as a clay type soil and for warm-season grasses think of sandy soil. Majority of the Northeast is a cool type grass which has a great seeding time of late summer to early fall. No matter if the weather is hot or average temperatures a watering system must be in place for fullest effect. With spreading the seed to get an even coverage must be done very carefully so no area is missed. This is how to start a new lawn with proper techniques.
