Q: What should I keep in mind when seeding my lawn?

• <div><p>Whether you&rsquo;re putting down fresh seed or reseeding, there are a few things to keep in mind when seeding your lawn.

Generally, Dudley recommends <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/plant-grass-spring.htm">seeding in spring</a> and fall as it is usually cooler and rainier. </p></div>

Q: Can grass grow in 100% shade?

• <div><p>Even the most shade-tolerant turf grass needs at least three or four hours of full sunlight or a good amount of partial sunlight throughout the day.

Q: What are the benefits of sod over seeding for a new lawn?

• <div><p>Instant greenery, erosion control, and no waiting for germination make sod a preferable choice.</p></div>

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Lawn care is tough work—even when you hire pros, there’s no guarantee your grass won’t die (unless, of course, your company offers a guarantee). But lawn care companies don’t control the rain or watering restrictions. Your type of grass also impacts the type of care required to keep a lush lawn—and how much that care costs. Talk to a lawn care pro to determine the best times to treat your lawn based on type of grass and your climate.

Whether you’re putting down fresh seed or reseeding, there are a few things to keep in mind when seeding your lawn. Be sure to choose the correct seed for your climate, seed at the right time of year, and water two to three times a day for the first week. Generally, Dudley recommends seeding in spring and fall as it is usually cooler and rainier.

Even the most shade-tolerant turf grass needs at least three or four hours of full sunlight or a good amount of partial sunlight throughout the day. You might want to look at other gardening options for full shade, like plants that can survive in full shade, hardscaping, or structural architecture, to still get that yard of your dreams without compromising on your landscaping design.

Speeding up grass seed germination is possible, but it requires quite a bit of extra work and commitment. Keeping the soil moist is key, but here are a few other tried-and-true methods for growing your new grass as quickly as possible:

Mist grass up to eight times per day to keep the soil moist.
Purchase a moisture-retaining seed coating for your grass seeds.
Amend soil that is compacted or in the wrong pH range.
Choose the right grass seed for your area’s climate and soil conditions.
Avoid planting on windy days or during periods of extreme rain or drought.

Instant greenery, erosion control, and no waiting for germination make sod a preferable choice.
