Q: What grass is best for transitional zones?

• <div><p>Those who live in between zones may have summers too warm for many cool-season grasses and winters too cold for warm-season grasses. Grasses selected for these climates must be well adapted to both conditions, so opt for tall fescue if your area is more prone to very cold temperatures or kikuyu grass if your home has notably hot summers.</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: How long does lawn seeding take?

• <div><p>Seeding typically takes 1-2 days, with growth visible within 2-3 weeks under proper conditions.</p></div>

Q: What should I put on my lawn in the spring?

• <div><p>You should put pre-emergent herbicide and fertilizer on your lawn in the spring. Pre-emergent herbicide keeps weeds from taking root. Fertilizer helps your grass to grow lush and dense and blocks future weeds from growing. You can also add amendments, such as sulfur and lime, to enhance your soil quality. </p></div>

Q: How long before a new lawn can handle heavy traffic?

• <div><p>Planting grass from seed requires time to grow before it can handle even light foot traffic. Most varieties require a minimum of<b> three months</b> before you can walk on them regularly. You can expect to wait at least one year before your lawn can hold up to heavy use. Because sod is already established, it can be walked on more quickly than grass planted from seed.</p></div>

"It was okay. They were kind of messy. I had to do a lot of cleaning up after them. They were doing a lot of patching so they did a good job matching the existing texture and so on. I think there were 2 guys who came and they got to work and did the work."
