DORMANT LAWN SEEDING

Soil conditions are ideal for dormant lawn seeding from February to March.  If soil temperatures remain 50 degrees Fahrenheit or less, seed will stay dormant until temperatures rise in spring.

BENEFITS

» Dormant seeding provides a longer window of time for seed to germinate and establish, which is especially beneficial if you plan to apply a spring lawn fertilizer and weed killer.

» Winter seeding gives you a head start on lawn repair. Schedules tend to fill up once the weather breaks in spring, so you’re less likely to miss the optimal window for spring lawn renovation.

» Soils tend to stay moist in winter due to snow and rainfall.  Additional watering is usually not necessary.

HOW

Remove debris and apply seed over thin or bare spots in your lawn. As your lawn freezes and thaws seeds will bury into the soil and germinate when it’s time to sprout. Wait until seeds germinate and grow a full 2 inches before applying weed killers.
