Frequently Asked Questions

• How much area does a 25 lb bag cover? A 25 lb bag covers up to 4,685 square feet for a brand-new lawn seeding project, or up to 9,375 square feet when used for overseeding existing, established turf.

• When is the best time of year to plant this grass seed? The ideal planting windows are early fall (mid-August to mid-October) or spring (mid-March to mid-May), when warm soil temperatures and moderate air moisture support optimal seed germination.

• How deep should the seeds be raked into the soil? Rake or lightly cover the seeds to a shallow depth of approximately one-quarter inch to ensure proper soil contact while allowing adequate sunlight penetration for sprouting.

Pro Contractor Tip

For maximum seed-to-soil contact, core aerate your existing lawn or lightly scarify bare soil before broadcasting seed. Roll the seedbed gently with a weighted lawn roller after sowing to press the seeds firmly into the earth, and keep the top-soil damp with light, frequent misting until germination is fully established.
