Q: What should I put down before grass seed?

• <div><p>Before you put down grass seed, you should cultivate your soil or add two inches of topsoil. You should also put down fertilizer at the same time as your seed to prompt healthy growth. Be sure to water after you put down grass seed, especially for the first two weeks.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is needed after lawn dethatching?

• <div><p>Post-dethatching, lawn recovery includes watering, fertilizing, and reseeding as necessary to restore health and promote growth.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take grass to germinate and start growing?

• <div><p>The amount of time it takes for grass to germinate varies depending on the grass species. Even after germination, it&rsquo;s going to take a while to see grass blades start emerging from soil. Some grasses germinate quickly and emerge after several days of growth (and healthy watering). Others may take up to three weeks to show themselves. Cool-season grasses tend to take the longest to germinate at one month.</p></div>

Q: Can I put down grass seed and fertilizer at the same time?

• <div><p>Provided you're using an appropriate starter fertilizer for grass seed, you can put down seeds and fertilizer at the same time. However, putting them down separately, one after the other, on the same day will help to avoid over- or under-applying the lawn food. Avoid using a fertilizer with weed control elements, as these will likely keep the grass seeds from starting. </p></div>

Q: Will grass seed grow if I throw it on the ground?

• <div><p>Technically, yes, at least some of the grass seed you throw on the ground will germinate. If the area doesn&rsquo;t have good drainage, rain or overwatering can move seeds before they have germinated, leaving your patches still patchy. What does grow won&rsquo;t have strong roots if there isn&rsquo;t proper aeration.</p></div>
