Using with Other Products

Do not apply weed control products until the grass is well established (mowed at least 4 times). Additionally, if you recently used a weed control product, refer to those product instructions to determine how soon you can plant grass seed.

Watering Tips

For best results, water twice daily for at least 3 weeks. Automatic timers can help ensure no essential waterings are missed.

What to Expect

Weeks 1-2
You should see little sprouts and tiny green leaves (but not on every seed). Be patient and keep the area moist by watering often.

Week 3-4
Seedlings have germinated and tender little grass plants are counting on you to keep them hydrated. 

Weeks 5-6
Congratulations! This is what you, a little consistent effort, and a quality seed product can do.
