When seeding during the fall make sure you leave enough time for the grass seed to fully germinate before the freezing temperatures arrive.
1. To begin remove sticks, stones, leaves and other debris and loosen up the top 2-3 inches of soil. Leave the loosened soil in small clumps and apply a starter fertilizer.
2. When seeding large areas use a spreader or a mechanical seeder, smaller areas can be seeded evenly by hand. Check out Greenview Fairway Formula Grass Seed.

Most people use a mechanical spreader to distribute lawn treatments to their property. These come in two sorts – a Drop Spreader and a Rotary Spreader. Both of these models require that you fill a hopper with material and push the spreader over the lawn. For most homeowners, the biggest problem is knowing how far the spreader is depositing the nutrients.

One of the most important factors in selecting grass seed for your lawn is to decide which species (or mix of species) best fits your climate, site use, and intended maintenance level This is important whether you are deciding on the initial selection for new home lawns, atheletic fields or commercial sites; or for overseeding or renovating your existing turf to add newer improved varieties to the turfgrass population.
Turfgrass breeders make improvements in varieties every year, some also do research and try to find the newest, most cutting edge varieties available. The cost of the seed is a very small portion of the total cost of any seeding job, so choose the best seed varieties available that fit your site requirements. You have to live with the turfgrass variety decision for years, so it makes sense to buy the best varieties available.
