Lawn Seed

There are lots of variables when choosing a lawn seed.  Let us help you out!
On average, figure 5# of seed per 1000 square feet of bare ground to seed. Overseeding a lawn is about 2# per 1000 square feet.
We stock Marsh Hay bales to spread over newly planted lawns. 1 bale covers about 500 sq feet.
Bluemound for full-sun lawns.
Landscaper great for sun to shady areas.
Rainbo Elite Shade grows well in shade.
Carefree Turf Mix where low maintenance is a must.
We also carry Brome, Timothy, Rye, and will special order other types, when available to us.
