If you dormant seed this winter, delay your crab-grass-prevention application until after you have mowed your new grass seed at least twice. Of course, follow the directions on the label of your choice of weed control for specific directions. We manage all of that for you if you would rather have us take care of the scheduling!
For best results, we suggest utilizing professional lawn care services in order to ensure the benefits of dormant seeding. Seeding of new lawns should be done into loose, prepared soil, or by renting a power seeder, also known as a vertical seeder or a slit seeder, which cuts grooves in the soil, drops the seed in the loosened soil, and then lightly covers it, all in one pass.
Be sure to make a second pass at a right angle to avoid obvious rows of seedlings. In pre-loosened soil or for small patches, seeding is usually done with a rotary seeder or the usual drop-type seed and fertilizer spreader.
Use six pounds of tall fescue seed or 4 pounds of bluegrass seed per 1, square feet of lawn. Cover the seed by raking lightly or rolling with a water-ballast roller. Mulch the area with clean straw. The mulch covering should be thin enough to expose about 50 percent of the soil surface, which means using about one bale of straw per 1, square feet of area. And with just one of two factors fulfilled, chances of a successful sowing are very low.
So the most favourable times of year for sowing are Spring mid-March until April are usually the best times , and late summer September-October. Read the full guide on when to sow grass seed here.
