Seeding / Sodding

March is the second best time of year to seed a new evergreen lawn. Begin seeding when soil temperatures rise to at least 55" and the danger of hard freezes has passed. This is usually when the Bradford Pear trees are in full bloom. Cultivate prior to seeding and keep the soil moist for two weeks to ensure even germination.

March is also a good time to lay fescue sod. Fescue roots grow best when soil temperatures are 50-65". With proper care, fescue sod laid this month will become established before the heat of summer arrives.
