Possibly, but germination is unlikely. While growing grass isn’t complicated, you need to take the proper steps to ensure it grows as planned. Prepping the soil with amendments, fertilizer, and lawn aeration is an excellent first step. You’ll want to topdress the area and water it diligently to maintain moist — but not wet — soil. Watering two to three times a day for about 10 to 15 minutes each time for the first few weeks will help ensure your grass grows thick and healthy. Limit foot traffic on your lawn once the grass seed is down until you mow.
