Great info! Wish I saw this earlier!
1. Choose the Right Time to Plant
Timing is everything when it comes to planting grass seed. Depending on where you live and the type of grass you’re planting, the best time to sow seed can vary.
Cool-Season Grasses
Cool-season grasses, such as Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and ryegrass, thrive in cooler temperatures. The best time to plant these is in early fall, when the soil is still warm, and the air temperatures are cooler, reducing the risk of drought stress and promoting germination. Spring is also an option, but fall planting generally leads to better results.
Warm-Season Grasses
Warm-season grasses, such as Bermuda, zoysia, and St. Augustine, are best planted in late spring or early summer when the soil has warmed up sufficiently. These grasses prefer higher temperatures and will establish more quickly when planted in the right conditions.
