Seeding Tips


Timing: Plant your grass seed in the spring (May to mid June) or fall (September to early October). Seed germinates best when soil temperatures are above 16-18° C.

Proper Soil: Over-seeding is the best way to fight weeds in your lawn, and ensuring you purchase the best soil give you a great foundation for seeds to germinate.

Application: Proper soil preparation and having seed to soil contact is necessary for germination. Once you have applied the seed over the soil, lightly rake the surface and focus on covering the seed no more then 2mm.

Watering: Do not let the seeded area dry out, but avoid puddles. The best time to water is the early morning.

Monitoring and Maintenance: Expect initial growth to begin in 10-14 days. You should expect to over-seed twice per season.
