When is the best time to plant?

• <div><p>The best time to plant is between spring and autumn. Springtime weather is typically mild and is when nurseries start to bloom. When the summer weather arrives and it’s hot out, it’s best to avoid planting bare-root plants, but you can still plant many in-container varieties. The first sign of fall is another great opportunity to plant biennials if you live in southern states, or a lovely vegetable garden up north.</p></div>

Can you seed existing grass?

• <div><p>Adding seed to existing grass is often <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/overseed-lawn-guide.htm">known as overseeding</a>, as opposed to reseeding. Reseeding refers to the process of filling in bare or dying patches of lawn—or in some cases, full lawns—whereas reseeding supports existing lawns to prevent thinning. Overseeding is an ideal annual lawn care practice for grass fighting drought, disease, weeds, or pest issues.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for no-mow grass to germinate?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/grass-seed-germination-guide.htm#how-types-of-grass-germinate">Fine fescue grass can germinate</a> within 12 to 22 days. Of course, factors such as soil and climate can determine how long it will take for your no-mow grass to sprout. New grass seed needs adequate sunshine, oxygen, moisture, and healthy soil for successful germination. The best time to plant fescue grass is early spring or early fall. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to aerate my lawn before seeding?

• <div><p>Aerating a lawn before seeding it or adding new grass seed is a smart decision. By loosening up compact soil and allowing it to take in more air and water, your seeds will have an easier time establishing roots and growing. Aerating beforehand also means your seeds will have better contact with the soil, so more of your seeds have a chance to germinate. If you do plan to aerate your lawn before seeding, aerate about two days before you plan to start seeding.</p></div>

Q: Why should you overseed your lawn?

• <div><p>Along with helping your grass grow in thicker and healthier, overseeding better equips it against hungry insects, common lawn diseases, drought, heavy foot traffic, and other foes that can weaken or kill the grass over time. By investing the extra time and money into overseeding, you&rsquo;re lowering potential costs of fertilizer, pesticides, or possibly reseeding the lawn in the future.</p></div>
