What is the best time and proper method to plant grass seed?
Fall is the best time to plant grass seed whether you are planning a total lawn renovation or fixing up a few problem areas. The soil temperatures are warmer and more frequent rainfall accelerates germination. There is also much less competition with annual weeds and grasses when seeding is done in the fall. The most important thing to remember for a successful seeding project is the seed to soil contact. This means that the soil must first be loosened and the seed then incorporated into it. Spreading grass seed onto hard compacted soil will result in poor, if any seed germination.
