When to Seed
Fall is the best time to plant tall fescue. Cooler temperatures and warm soil give new grass time to establish a strong root system before the following summer.
Spring seeding can also be successful, but the lawn will require consistent watering and will have less time to mature before summer heat arrives.
How to Establish
-
Prepare the lawn. Mow existing grass short and remove excessive debris or dead material.
-
Create seed-to-soil contact. Core aerate, dethatch, or lightly loosen bare soil before spreading seed.
-
Spread the seed evenly. Apply at the recommended rate for overseeding or new lawn establishment.
-
Keep the seed moist. Water lightly and frequently so the seedbed does not dry out during germination.
-
Protect the seedbed. A light layer of peat moss or SeedAide can help hold moisture around the seed.
-
Feed the new lawn. Apply a quality starter fertilizer at seeding to support early root development.
