Have Lowe’s Garden Center hydroturf your yard. Using both applications would probably be necessary in larger yards. You can rake it in by hand or hookup a drag behind a four wheeler or lawn tractor. Raking in the grass seed you just spread, covering it with a little soil. You can do this by hand, but a rotary fertilizer spreader works great to get an even distribution of the seed.

Full Sun/Shady/Sun and Shade/Drought Tolerant. Make sure to get the kind that will work for your yard. Spread grass seed 5-10 lbs per 1,000 sq ft. You could hook up a drag behind a four wheeler or lawn tractor. Do not till any deeper or your lawn will end up very lumpy and difficult to mow. This can be done with a rake (and a lot of elbow grease) or a rototiller, or a soil conditioner attachment on a bobcat. See Hydroturf Care sheet for watering information. For smaller yards it is no big deal and not hard to manage.

We would recommend it, or you must drag a hose around for 3-6 weeks to establish your lawn, watering 4-5 times per day.

Install a Sprinkler System? A sprinkler system can make lawn establishment a breeze. All you need to do is rough it in and get it close to grade. You don’t need to final grade the black dirt just yet. For existing yards, install the black dirt to fill the low areas or the areas where you removed unwanted vegetation and you need to get it up to grade. For new yards, a minimum of 4 inches is required to establish a new lawn. Smaller rocks do not hurt anything and will disappear as they get pressed into the soil and the grass grows around them. Remove rocks larger than 1 ½” in diameter. Spraying may have to be done 2-3 times in order to get a good kill. Remove all existing vegetation (unwanted grasses, weeds, etc.) You can strip out the unwanted vegetation with a bobcat, shovel, or you can spray with round up. The green color is the tint added to the wood mulch to allow the applicator to see where they have sprayed. Lowe's can level the lot or spray directly onto prepared ground.

It germinates faster and retains water next to the seed better than grass seed alone. Hydroturf is a sprayed on mixture of wood mulch pulp, grass seed and fertilizer.

Gourmet Clay and Garden Art Spring 2010.Living Memorials and Memorial Gardens by Lowe's.* We recommend you reapply the liquid lawn aerator after 45 days again for best results, then every 60 days during growing season. Once the grass is established, watering every couple of days will allow the root system to establish. * Water new grass regularly to keep roots moist, but do not overwater. * Water lightly (don’t saturate), and frequently (at least once daily), until new grass is two inches high. * Keep grass seed bed moist to enhance germination. * Cover the grass seed bed with Liquid Lawn Aerator saturating the bed but not to the point it puddles. * Lightly drag the grass seed bed so no more than ¼ inch of soil covers the grass seed. Grass may be weak or thin in these areas. Too many seeds too close together causes seedlings to fight for room and nutrients. * Apply approximately 16 seeds per square inch. * Use a hand or lawn spreader or a mechanical seeder in large areas. * Spread the seed evenly by hand in small areas. After an hour, water enough to saturate the Aerator without puddling the area. Then apply LIQUID AERATOR to saturate the surface. * Apply the Grass Seed working it in evenly. Use existing topsoil added soil may have weed seeds. * Level the areas where excess water collects. * Loosen the top ¼ inch of soil in bare spots. * Do not use weed killers before or after planting seed.

* Level the areas where excess water might collect. * Avoid too fine soil, small clumps are acceptable. * Break up soil clumps larger than a half dollar. * Remove debris (sticks, stones, etc), from the area. To get the best lawn results you need the best grass seed. The price of grass seed is small compared to the time that will be invested in building a great lawn. The NTEP rating on grass seeds means you are purchasing grass seeds that have been specifically bred for superior green grass color, disease and insect resistance and drought tolerance. To find a top quality grass seed, look for an NTEP rated variety, which means it has been independently evaluated and rated by the National Turf Evaluation Program, (NTEP). A great lawn can only be grown from great grass seeds.
