Lawn Seeding Services
A beautiful lawn starts with healthy grass, and healthy grass starts with high quality grass seed. Lawns Care Guide uses our own premium seed blends developed through university partners to be genetically more resistant to insects and disease. And our advanced seeding techniques and specialized machinery help our quality seed flourish where it’s planted.
Lawns Care Guide lawn specialists will evaluate the current conditions of your lawn, learn what’s important to you in the enjoyment of your property, and recommend a seeding program customized for your needs.
Not All Grass Seed is Created Equal
Lawns Care Guide’s premium grass seed blends include the top-rated varieties from the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP).) NTEP is a widely-respected research program that tests turfgrass species in forty U.S. states and six Canadian provinces. Our blends, which include mostly Kentucky Bluegrass, Perennial Ryegrass and Tall Fescue varieties, are some of the most disease-resistant (especially against Dollar Spot, Red Thread, Leaf Spot, and Patch diseases); pest-resistant (such as endophyte-enhanced varieties that repel sucking and chewing insects like Chinch bugs); and drought-tolerant available. The grass varieties included in our premium blends were also chosen for their strong aesthetic qualities, such as dense turf, with good color, that greens up early in the spring.
Lawn Seeding Considerations
Some of the most common questions we get about seeding from clients are:
When is the ideal time for lawn seeding?
How long does grass seed take to germinate?
What are the specific maintenance requirements following lawn seeding?
The short answer for each of them? It depends on your property conditions.
A lawn care professional can guide you through all of these variables and provide tips to help restore your existing lawn or establish a new lawn.
Our lawn care team will perform a soil analysis, select the best seed for your landscape conditions and develop a comprehensive lawn care maintenance plan customized for your property’s needs. We also have optional natural lawn care programs available to fit your preferences.
Select the Best Seed for Your Property and Soil Conditions
Whether you’re looking to fill in bare spots, or establish a new lawn, the key to success is to choose high-quality grass seed, and seeding methods, that are well-matched to your soil and property conditions. Sandy soil? Lots of shade, or sun? Wet, poorly-drained areas? The presence of weeds or insects?
The ability of your turfgrass to thrive depends on the condition of the soil it grows in. So as a first step in creating an optimal seeding plan, your Lawns Care Guide arborist will perform a professional laboratory analysis of soil samples from your property to reveal nutrient content, the percentage of organic matter present, pH levels, soil compaction, and other characteristics. Combined with a careful visual inspection of your property, this information will help them identify the most appropriate seed varieties, and seeding methods, for your lawn.
