Can I seed my lawn in the spring?

Great question! Complex answer..

Yes, of course you can seed and should get it down soon. Depending on your region, etc. a tall fescue blend will get moving quickly and require less water over the summer, and will have fewer disease issues. Any Bluegrass blend will work too...if you live in zone 6 or cooler(3-6).

The downside of spring seeding is that you can't put down a pre-emergent to hold back crabgrass. You will also have other weeds that you will need to deal with for a while. By this summer you can put down some Scotts Plus 2 to fertilize and kill off any broadleaf weeds. There are post-emergent crabgrass killers available, but I would hold off because your new grass will still be tender. Use Scotts Plus Halts next Spring and enjoy an amazing yard. Good Luck!

Can I seed my lawn in the spring?

My husband and I moved to our new home in June 2006. The front yard was sodded but the back yard was left for us to get going. They took all the top soil, so what was left has alot of rocks and the soil has alot of clay.

Last fall, we had a landscaper come out and aerate and seed the yard. It made...

If the top soil is gone you need to buy peat moss. If you could till it in 4 inches it would be the best. But with rocks it would be a little hard to till. I think I would just throw out more peat moss and maybe a little sand. Then plant the grass. It's still a good time to plant the grass. But don't put it off because summer is to hot.

what time of year did the landscaper seed your yard the last time you said it was in the fall.check with your local nursery see if it is ok or call up the landscaper you used and ask him if it is ok for you too start seeding the lawn this time of year he will tell you.

As long as the temp is above 32, now is the time to seed.

Your location is important for when to seed. Go to a web site for help like
