How to Use

New Lawn

1. PREP

• Rake area to loosen the top layer of soil (approximately 2” deep) and remove any dead grass or debris, ensuring seed-to-soil contact.

2. APPLY

• Apply using a Scotts® spreader.

3. RAKE

• Lightly rake the seed into the soil to ensure seed is covered just beneath the soil surface. For best results, apply Scotts® Turf Builder® Starter® Food for New Grass.

4. WATER

• Water daily to keep the soil surface moist until the seedlings reach at least 2 inches tall.

Overseeding

1. PREP

• Mow lawn at the lowest setting and bag the clippings. Rake to remove debris, dead grass, and loosen the soil, ensuring seed-to-soil contact.

2. APPLY

• Apply using a Scotts® spreader.

3. RAKE

4. WATER

• Water daily to keep the soil surface moist until the seedlings reach at least 2 inches tall.

When to Apply

• Spring and early summer are the best times to plant, because seed germinates best anytime temperatures are between 70°F and 90°F and all danger of frost has passed.

Watering Tips

• For best results, water twice daily for at least 3 weeks.
• Automatic timers can help ensure no essential waterings are missed.

Using with Other Products

• Do not apply weed control products until the grass is well established (mowed at least 4 times).
• Additionally, if you recently used a weed control product, refer to those product instructions to determine how soon you can plant grass seed.

Average Days to Germinate
