Question: Some of my lawn died this season from the dry, hot weather. Do I still have time to seed in the dead areas or do I have to wait until spring?
Answer: Lawns have once again started to green up due to recent rains. With this, dead and insect damaged areas have also once again become noticeable. The month of September and the early portion of October are the BEST times for starting a new lawn or renovating an old one. Cooler temperatures, more reliable rain patterns and our lawn’s propensity to establish strong root systems in the fall are the reasons we strongly recommend fall lawn renovation. Remember that for proper germination grass seed must be in good contact with the soil, not be buried too deeply in the soil as light is also required for proper germination and it must remain moist. Good luck with your project & let us know if we could be of assistance!
