  • Fall is the optimum time to rejuvenate lawns in our area by the addition of grass seed. 
  • Spring is a distant second option for lawn seeding (spring is less desirable unless you have dense shade).
  • Power seeder injects seed at precise depth for optimum germination
  • Thatch removed during planting process
  • Usually requires at least two distinct types seed mixes to match specific growing conditions (ranging from full sun to dense shade)
  • Begins to germinate in 7 to 10 days (when new plantings kept moist)
