Step By Step How To Plant Pensacola Bahia Grass Seed
Planting Pensacola Bahia Grass Seed In A
New Lawn
- Conduct a soil test.**
- Till to a depth of 4”-6”.
- Rake to smooth and remove debris from seed bed.
Overseeding/Re-seeding An Existing Lawn With Pensacola
Bahia Seed
- Conduct a
soil test.**
- Mow or clip grass as closely as possible.
- Remove clippings and rake
- Aerate soil (rake or harrow lightly) where existing grass is to allow new seed
to make contact with the soil. (Existing grass will not be affected.)
**A soil test is recommended to determine the pH. Lawns
prefer a pH between 6.0 - 7.0.
Fertilize & Add Lime (If Needed) After Soil Test
- Fertilize (add lime if indicated from soil test) – not necessary to work into
the soil.
- Overseeding/Re-seeding Fertilize (add lime if indicated from soil test) – not necessary to work into
the soil.
How To Spread Pensacola Bahia Grass Seed
- Spread seed evenly with a
spreader, applying 1/2 of the recommended amount in one direction
and the remaining 1/2 in the opposite direction to avoid skips and misses on
your lawn. Work seed into soil 1/4” deep.
NOTE: Overseeding/Re-seeding instructions same as above #3.
Watering Your New Lawn
- Water daily to maintain a constant source of moisture for the seed. Do not
allow the top 1/2” of soil to become dry.
- Once grass begins to grow and establishes a lawn, reduce watering to twice a
week, 1/2” of water per application.
NOTE: Overseeding/Re-seeding
same as instructions #4 above
