The type (i.e. species) of grass seed you select plus how it accommodates the surroundings of your lawn will in large part decide the outcome of your attempt to reseed parts of your lawn. For instance, the tag on your grass seed package may say that it needs full sunlight, which translates to at least 8 hours of sun. If your lawn is situated in a shaded area, then this type of seed will probably not do well in your yard not matter how well you treat it. Reseeding your grass isn’t a hard thing to do at all.It simply requires matching the right seeds with the right environment.
Unless you’re in the lawn care business, you may be surprised to learn how many species of grass seeds there are. You can find grasses for shady or sunny areas. You’ll find specialized grasses that have been blended to kill and suffocate any weeds in their path. You’ll also find them in a variety of shades – from dark green to light green, and you’ll want to choose a shade to match close to what you already have.

You should reseed your lawn in the Fall, if at all possible. Seeds don’t do well in either intense heat or intense cold. This eliminates both summer and winter as the perfect planting season. But, once the warmer months of summer have gone by, the air and soil temperatures will have cooled down to the ideal range that seedlings thrive in. They’ll have until frost hits to start their growth spurt and become accustomed to the soil and environment in your yard. The second best time to plant seeds is in the Spring. Spring is also a good time because in addition to the cool weather, in most places, Spring tends to be a raining season which cuts down on the amount of watering you’ll have to do.
Even though reseeding is something that most homeowners will need to do periodically, after the first time and after obtaining the right yard tools, you’ll find maintenance almost no trouble at all.
