How it works
Seeding rates vary by grass type and whether you are starting a new lawn or overseeding an existing one.
Pounds = (Area ÷ 1000) × Seeding rate
New lawn vs. overseeding
A new lawn usually needs more seed than overseeding an established lawn. Check the bag for the recommended rate for your grass type.
Timing matters
Cool-season grasses grow best when seeded in early fall or spring. Warm-season grasses prefer late spring to early summer.
