Spring Lawn Care: When to Seed
Now's the time to plant grass seed for a thick lawn, but choose the right type and timing [https://southernliving.com/when-to-plant-grass-seed-11923553].
Cool-season grasses like fescue and ryegrass thrive when planted in early spring, as the soil is warming but the air isn't too hot. This gives them a head start before summer heat arrives. Warm-season grasses such as Bermuda, St. Augustine, and Zoysia should be planted in late spring or early summer. The soil needs to be consistently warm for these varieties to germinate and grow well. Consider a soil test before planting any grass seed. This will reveal any nutrient deficiencies or pH imbalances that need correcting for optimal growth.
