Growing grass from seeds seems to be difficult but can be rewarding. The key to successfully growing grass from seed is selecting the proper variety of seed that will adapt most effectively to your lawn. Here are some vital steps you need to follow to successfully achieve a well grown grass lawn.

Remove the old grass or sod from your lawn. You may need a tool called a leveler which can be rented from Equipment Rental companies which can assist you in removing the old grass where you want to plant some new grass. Leveling the area after having removed most of the old grass is vital to growing absolutely fresh nice grass and this will ensure that the lawn will be weed free.

Edging the corners and ends of the lawn will be the next step which can be done by using a garden edging available from your local hardware store to make the lawn look neat and tidy.

The next step is tilling the soil before and after fertilizing to loosen the soil and to allow the fertilizer to spread into the layers of the soil. Soil conditioner and compost should also be incorporated in the soil as well as phosphorus which you can easily get from your local hardware store. Once these nutrients had been incorporated fully to the soil then final tilling should be done and now you are ready to broadcast (spread) the seeds.

Rake the soil before broadcasting the seed . You can use a spreader to broadcast the seeds or you can spread the seeds by hand but using a spreader will allow the seeds to be broadcast evenly around your lawn

After completely spreading the seeds on the lawn, Rake the soil again to achieve best soil and seed contact

Using a sprinkler, water the lawn and make sure to use a fine mist so that the seeds are not drown and the lawn is watered evenly.

Water the lawn regularly until all the seeds have sprouted evenly. After 60 to 90 days you should have a thick lush lawn provided regular watering and fertilizing is followed in the growing period since freshly seeded lawns require more frequent watering (usually daily).

With the simple instruction outlined above you should have a nice fresh lawn in few months and requires a moderate amount of grass care, maintenance and moving. The secret to having a green lawn is regularly applying lawn fertilizers, watering and mowing. So give our tutorial on how to grow grass a try, and by the envy of your neighborhood.
