If the seeds are perfect, the foundation is great and that implies that later, you would not have to work on the lawn to repair it. To help the seeds have enough air and water, loosen the soil. This will help the seeds make contact with the soil and grow the roots efficiently. Before growing new seeds, you should remove all the dead grass and rake your lawn. Along with the seeds, add soil as well as starter fertilizer. A thin layer of soil should be used on the top after seeding.

After you have mowed your lawn for about 4 times, then you should feed your lawn with fertilizers. The clipping of the grass after mowing should not be bagged and thrown away. Instead, you should use the clipping on the lawn itself. Leave the grass clipping in the garden or meadow and save your time and effort. Because the grass clipping return essential nutrients to the ground, the lawn is green and lavish again. But make sure the clippings are disease free. If the grass getting clipped out from mowing is not healthy, then bag them; otherwise spread them on the ground. Do not mow the grass when it is wet. Start by mowing at a raised height and keep the blades sharp. Then gain mow from the opposite direction with a normal cutting height.
