Straight Varieties of Grass Seed

Straight varieties of grass seed, or blends of multiple varieties of the same grass type, are used when homeowners want a consistent appearance, growth habit, and performance. Begin by preparing the soil by removing debris, loosening the top layer, and leveling the area for good seed-to-soil contact. Spread the seed evenly at the recommended rate using a hand-held spreader or a broadcast spreader. Lightly rake to cover the seed and apply a starter fertilizer. Water lightly and frequently to keep the soil moist until germination. These seeds establish uniform color and texture, making them ideal for overseeding or creating a refined, consistent lawn.
