Grass Seeding in St. Charles, St. Louis, and Lincoln Counties
Grass seeding is the process of adding seeds to the lawn to grow grass. Landscaping companies use seeding to develop a new lawn, thicken an existing lawn, or fill in patches. This inexpensive process helps build a lush, vibrant lawn with a stronger root system.
Seeding offers property owners a wide variety of seeds from which to choose. However, the process must be done correctly and carefully to enjoy the best results. Seeking professional assistance for lawn seeding is the best way to ensure quality results.
Seeding the right way is key for superb results. Professionals use various methods to seed a lawn, including overseeding, power seeding, slit seeding, and aeration seeding, depending on the specific lawn requirement. They use high quality grass seed to ensure adequate coverage to achieve a healthy, rich lawn. Professionals also take measures to prevent weed growth to ensure the lawn receives the necessary nutrients. Professionals can suggest the best grass seed variety for the lawn based on the soil type.
Different Types of Grass Seed
Kentucky Bluegrass seed:
A perennial, cold-season lawn grass, Kentucky bluegrass is among the well-known grass seed varieties. Its beautiful, lush appearance makes it popular among property owners. Kentucky bluegrass is grown in areas with cold winters and warm summers which suit its developmental cycle. Although it is slow to grow and has higher maintenance requirements, the rich color, texture, and ability to provide a dense lawn make it ideal for lawns.
Tall fescue seed:
Tall fescue has a deep root system and wide, thick leaf blades. It is best grown from seeds and is more tolerant of heat and drought. Planting tall fescue seeds in spring, with temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit, is advisable. Tall fescue grass is disease resistant and adaptable and can maintain a durable and thick lawn while withstanding various environmental factors.
Fine fescue seed:
Fine fescue is another commonly used lawn grass. It comprises a blend of multiple fescue seeds (sheep fescue, hard fescue, chewing’s fescue, and creeping red fescue) and is characterized by its soft texture and unique foliage. Fine fescue gives a lawn a pleasing, aesthetic appearance and is environmentally sustainable. It remains green throughout the year and has low watering, fertilizing, and sunlight requirements.
Perennial ryegrass seed:
Perennial ryegrass seed is a cool-season grass and is the quickest germinating. Growing into a lawn from scattered seeds takes as little as 21 days for perennial ryegrass. While seed can be used for an entire lawn, its short lifespan makes it more suitable as a filler to patch damaged lawns. Property owners use perennial ryegrass to seed over dormant warm-season grass to make the lawn look green during winters. It requires low maintenance and is pest resistant but fails to provide an aesthetically pleasing lawn.
Bermuda grass seed:
Bermuda is a warm-season grass seed ideal for residential and recreational lawns. Its high heat and drought resistance properties make it suitable for regions with low rainfall or prone to drought conditions. Bermuda grass remains healthy with about an inch of water per week. Its high tolerance to repeated use makes it an excellent option for high-traffic lawns and sports fields. Bermuda grass seeds require full sunlight and a little acidic soil with a pH between 6 and 7.
Zoysia grass seed:
Zoysia is another warm-season grass preferred by property owners seeking a low-maintenance grass option with higher resistance to cooler temperatures. Zoysia grass seeds do not require regular watering or fertilizing and have a better shade tolerance. Zoysia grows slowly, hits peak growth from late spring to early summer, and becomes dormant in winter. Zoysia stays green around the year in tropical climates and has a fine texture and soft feel.
Bahia grass seed:
Bahia is a warm-season grass with a coarse texture. The seeds germinate slowly initially and grow faster once they are ingrained. Bahia grass seeds can grow in sandy and poor-nutrient soils with little maintenance. Bahia lawns do not require fertilization and have lower water needs. They can endure high traffic but lack the aesthetics of a well-kept lawn. Bahia grass tends to develop a V-shaped seed head due to improper maintenance.
