  • Time for grass seeding

    I have been getting a lot of questions about sowing grass seed, so I thought I should let everyone know what the ideal lawn sowing times are and what should be done. Beginning mid to late February through the first of April is the second best time to sow grass. Generally, September is the best time but with the extreme heat and drought last year most turf grasses didn’t get off to a good start.
