Preparing A New Lawn To Plant Centipede & Carpet Grass Mix

Preparing To Overseed Or Re-seed Existing Lawns
- 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) When Planting Centipede & Carpet Grass
- New Lawn - 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 Centipede & Carpet Grass Seed
- New Lawn - Spread seed evenly, 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. Use a
spreader for best seed distribution.
- Work seed into soil 1/4” deep.
- Overseeding/Re-seeding - Same as New Lawn above.
Watering Your New Lawn
- 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.
- Overseeding/Re-seeding same as New Lawn above
