Planting Guide & Best Practices

Choose a time in early spring or early fall when soil is workable and daytime temperatures are moderate. Prepare the seedbed by removing debris and lightly raking to create a smooth, firm surface. Seed evenly and lightly cover with a shallow layer of soil or mulch. Maintain consistent moisture during germination to support uniform emergence.

• Plant in 4–8 hours of daily sun for best results.
• Keep soil evenly moist while seeds germinate and establish.
• Aim for gradual, sustained growth rather than rapid lawn filling.
• Once established, mowing at a consistent height helps promote dense growth.
