Dr. Trey Rogers has a few tips for establishing a lawn from seed. Trimming is crucial for planting. Plant in late fall or early spring for cool season grasses. Warm season grasses should be planted in late spring or early summer. For new construction homes consider a soil test to determine if the soil is sub-soil instead of topsoil. When adding amendments avoid adding sand if possible because it can have the effect of creating concrete. Choose seed that is of high quality (usually costs a bit more too). Avoid any seed that contains more than .01% of weed seed.
