Select File and then Print from your browser's menu Seeding Your Lawn Lawn grasses are usually established in our area by either seeding or sodding. Sodding is expensive but offers an instant carpet of grass that can be used within weeks, can be installed in difficult places such as areas that are steep or heavily trafficked and can be layed almost any time during the growing season.
Seed is the most economical and common way to start a lawn.
Overseeding provides a quick, easy way to thicken and rejuvenate grassy areas. In nature, grass seed ripens and falls to the ground in late summer and germinates as the nights get cooler and the soil is still warm. In our area, the best time for seeding grass is between August 20 and September 20. May. Grass can be seeded during the summer, but it requires more careful watering. Choosing the right variety of grass for your lawn is very important.
