Whether your lawn has bare patches or just could use a little thickening up, fall is the time to plant new turf.
Fall seeding will take advantage of the warm soil to sprout and the cooling fall temperatures to grow enough, which allows several mowings this season. Throughout the autumn, your new turf will have an opportunity to develop deep, viable root systems. With robust and healthy roots heading into the dormant season, your new grass will be more than ready to thrive come next spring.
In addition to being most plants’ (including turf) main period of root development, fall makes sense for planting because it is NOT summer or spring. The vigorous top growth of spring is not sustainable if turf is too young and not yet established. The wet conditions of spring often make planting difficult. Along those same lines, summer heat and possible drought make it very hard for turf to establish itself during the hottest months.
Fall is a favorite season for many people and also for new grass. If your lawn could use some reinforcements, Munie is ready to help!
