Tips for Reseeding &
Starting a New Lawn
- Choose the right grass seed. Not all grass seed is the same. At Polillio's we carry a custom blend of seed specifically produced for the New England region.
- Prepare the area. Cultivate the soil to ensure good seed to soil contact. This can be done with a dethatcher or an iron rake.
- Fertilize and lime. Add a starter fertilizer that is high in phosphorus to promote rooting.
- Seed. In order to ensure uniform coverage, apply the seed in two different directions.
- Rake lightly or roll the lawn to ensure good seed to soil contact.
Other Helpful Lawn Products
Bayleton-a lawn fungicide that helps cure and prevent red thread, dollar spot, and brown patch.
Fast Acting Lime- a concentrated pelletized lime that covers 5,000 s.f. and gives quicker results than traditional pelletized lime.
Merit- a grub preventer that can be applied in late June/early July. In our experience, not as effective as Dylox.
Moss Out- granulated iron that will kill moss in 48 hrs and also green up your lawn. Should be used in combination with lime to prevent moss from returning.
Tupersan- the only crabgrass preventer that does not kill new grass seed. It is combined with a starter fertilizer.
Trimec- a straight granular weed killer that will take care of dandelions and other broadleaf weeds.
