The success of your effort to reseed portions of your lawn depend, to a great extent, on what type of grass seeds you choose and how it suits the environment of your yard. For example, the label on your grass seeds may state that the grass requires full sun, meaning at least 8 hours of sun. If your lawn is situated in a shaded area, then this type of seed will probably not do well in your yard not matter how well you treat it. Re-seeding grass isn’t a hard thing to do at all.It simply requires matching the right seeds with the right environment.
If you’re not in the lawn maintenance field, you might be shocked to find out how many different kinds of grass seeds there are. You can buy reseeding grasses for almost any need. You can get them for shady or sunny areas. You’ll find specialised grass blended to kill and obliterate all weeds in their path. In addition, you’ll find grasses that come in a variety of shades – from dark green to light green, and you’ll want to choose a shade to match close to what you already have.
You should reseed your lawn in the Fall, if at all possible. Seeds don’t do well in either intense heat or intense cold. This eliminates both summer and winter as the perfect planting season. But, once the warmer months of summer have gone by, the air and soil temperatures will have cooled down to the ideal range that seedlings thrive in. They’ll have until frost hits to start their growth spurt and become accustomed to the soil and environment in your yard. The second best time to plant seeds is in the Spring. Spring is also a good time because in addition to the cool weather, in most places, Spring tends to be a raining season which cuts down on the amount of watering you’ll have to do.
Although reseeding the lawn is a task that many home owners will have to occasionally do, after you do it the first time and after you obtain the right yard tools, you’ll likely discover that maintenance is just about no trouble at all.
