How To Plant Grass Seeds

Hi, I'm Mike, and this is Ben, and we're from the Lawn Company. We have a wealth of experience in looking after lawns, large and small. We're going to show you some handy tips on how to care for your lawn.

I'm going to show you how to plant grass seeds. We're going to show you some grass seed, it's important to apply the seed around the edges of the lawn first. Not too heavily, but not too sparsely.

Be careful not to get it into the flower borders, and choose a non-windy day ideally. Once you've done the edges of the lawn, the fairest methods of application to help you do the job a bit quicker is follow your mowing lines. You could use this handy little spreader.

Make sure you get it at the right setting. Just walk up and down the lawn, applying the lawn seed evenly. For a slightly larger area, there is no harm in getting out your trusty fertilizer spreader.

Walk up and down your lawn following your mowing lines until you get to the edges, close the hopper off. Then without overlapping too much, make the return pass. Once the lawn seeds have been applied, we need some foot pressing material.

Gently broadcast this over where the grass seeds have been applied. Work it into the surface with the back of a garden rake. Now, this material which is a soil based material, will just cover up those new grass seeds that you just applied.

Keep them nicely protected from the birds. Once you've applied the grass seed, it's important to water it, or just rely on natural rain. And that's how you plant grass seed. .
