Plant Grass Seed Now for Lush Lawns
Now is the optimal time to plant grass seed for the thickest, healthiest lawn [https://southernliving.com/when-to-plant-grass-seed-11923553].
The ideal time for planting grass seed varies by grass type and region. Cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and fescue are best planted in the early fall or spring. For warm-season grasses such as Bermuda, St. Augustine, and Zoysia, late spring or early summer is the optimal time. Soil temperatures should consistently be above 65°F (18°C) before planting warm-season grasses. Proper soil preparation is key to successful grass seed germination. This includes removing debris, loosening the soil, and adding compost or other organic matter.
