Time to seed your lawn!

Fall's the perfect time.

Fall is the perfect time to seed or reseed a lawn. There are two key elements to help ensure a lush, green lawn: selecting the correct seed mixture for your climate and location on your property; and adding rich, crumbly soil for a nutritional foundation upon which the seeds can germinate and grass can thrive.
TO RESEED SOME AREAS:

> Dig up existing vegetation or kill it off with a herbicide.
> Briskly rake up any dead vegetation.
> Lay down ~ inch of crumbly top soil and level off with a rake.
> Hand-spread grass seed, then lightly rake it in.
> Water daily until seed has germinated and filled in.
