Q: Can you put too much grass seed down?

• <div><p>You can, like you can put too little down. Sowing too much grass seed can create competition between the seeds for resources (light, water, nutrients) and the seedlings could struggle to grow. When you sow too few, your lawn will come in thin. Your seed product has a recommended seeding rate, so use that as your guide.</p></div>

Q: Will grass seed germinate on top of soil?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re wondering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/will-grass-seed-germinate-on-top-soil.htm">whether grass seed will germinate on top of soil</a>, the answer is yes. In fact, it&rsquo;s the best way to plant your grass seed. Spread seeds in an even layer on top of loose, fertile soil will allow them to germinate and grow strong roots. Topping them with a thin layer of straw will help them retain moisture and stay put, as well as protect them from getting eaten by animals.</p></div>

Q: Should you water after putting down grass seed?

• <div><p>Yes, you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-to-water-grass-after-seeding.htm">water your grass after seeding it</a>. During the first couple of weeks after laying the seed, you should water the lawn two or three times per day for 10 to 15 minutes each session. After that, you can switch to 20- or 30-minute watering sessions every other day.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take the yard to look normal again?

• <div><p>You may need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-lay-sod.htm">lay sod</a> on the areas you dug up once you get the okay from the contractor. It will take about <b>30 to 45 days for the sod to take root</b>. Consult a local sod installer to get an accurate estimate of the timeline of your specific yard-enhancement project.</p></div>

Q: How do you rough up soil for grass seed?

• <div><p>The easiest way to rough up soil to accept grass seed and provide the best opportunity for its growth is to make several passes over the area with a garden tiller and rake away the loosened vegetation and debris. However, in some cases, very hard ground may require using a shovel or pick to break up pieces into smaller chunks that the tiller can handle more easily. </p></div>
