Q: Will this produce a thicker blade of grass

9 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hi Jeff- This mix is a combination of Tall Fescue, Perennial Ryegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass and Fine Fescue. This will create a thick, full lawn because the different grasses fill in gaps and spread. However, it won’t be as uniformly thick bladed as a 100% Tall Fescue lawn, which has consistently wide blades. If you have any questions, please give us a call at 1-800-285-7333. Thank you!

Q: I have bare spots in my front yard (sun) - want to know if you need to cover the seed with a good grade of top soil or compost? I have prepared my lawn with soil enhancer, root hume and fertilizer. Do I need to go 1/4 inch into soil before planting seed?

5 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Thank you for your question! Below is planting information from the manufacture. Planting & Growing Instructions Step 1: Prepare For Bare Spots/New Lawns: Remove debris, then rake the soil to loosen and smooth the top layer. For Overseeding/Thin Areas: Start by mowing existing grass as short as possible followed by removing debris. Then rake the soil to loosen and smooth the top layer. Step 2: Apply Spread the seed evenly using a drop, rotary or hand-held spreader according to the recommended spreader settings. Rake gently to work your seed & fertilizer in through the soil. Step 3: Water Keep the soil moist by watering daily as needed until grass sprouts and reaches about 3" tall.
