Planting Instructions:

Soil Preparation:

Start by clearing the area of any debris, rocks, or old vegetation, then loosen the top 2–3 inches of soil with a rake or tiller to create a soft, workable surface. Mix in compost or topsoil to improve nutrient content and drainage, and break up any large clumps to ensure even seed-to-soil contact. Grade the area so water flows away from buildings, then lightly tamp the soil to create a firm but not compacted seedbed. Finish by raking the surface smooth, ensuring it’s level and ready for even seed distribution.

Planting:

Ideally, plant tall fescue seeds in late summer to early fall to allow roots to establish and overwinter, at least 6 weeks before the first frost (August-September). If spring planting, plant in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked (March-May). Broadcast the seeds evenly across the surface at the seeding rate of 8-10 pounds per 1000 square feet for new lawns, or 6-8 pounds per 1,000 square feet for overseeding existing lawns (240-320 lbs per acre or 120-160 lbs per acre for overseeding). Because grass seeds are small, gently rake or drag the soil so the seeds are covered no deeper than 1/4 inch, ensuring good seed-to-soil contact without burying them too deeply. Lightly firm the area with a roller or by walking over it to secure the seeds in place and ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Water lightly but consistently to keep the soil moist until germination, then gradually reduce watering as the seedlings establish. Once the grass reaches about 3 inches tall, begin mowing and continue to provide regular care to encourage strong, dense growth.

Planting Depth:	1/8-1/4 inch
Spacing:	Broadcast
Seeding Rate:	8-10 lbs/1000 sqft, or 6-8 lbs/1000 sqft for overseeding

Care During the Season:

Maintain consistent moisture, especially during hot or dry periods, while avoiding excessive watering that can lead to shallow roots. Mow regularly at a height of 3–4 inches to encourage deep rooting and a dense, weed-resistant lawn, and never remove more than one-third of the blade at a time. Apply a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer in spring and fall to support healthy color and growth, and aerate compacted areas to improve airflow and water penetration. Remove weeds as they appear, monitor for pests or disease, and overseed thin spots as needed to maintain a thick, vibrant, durable turf all season long.
