Overseed Your Lawn mid-August

It is the perfect fourth dimension to overseed your lawn!

Our grass seed experts recommend overseeding August 15th to September 15th in the Chicagoland area.

When seeding lawns, utilize grass seed appropriate to your site. The best choice for about lawns in northern Illinois is a mix of Kentucky blue grass, perennial rye, and fescue seeds (Platt Hill Nursery Landscape Mix/Full Sun). If seeding in a shaded area, buy a shade-tolerant mix. Cultivate soil down to a few inches and broadcast grass seed and starter fertilizer according to package directions. Encompass with loose straw to prevent wind or bird harm to seeds. Go on soil moist until seed germinates.

Grubs

Annual white chow damage will brainstorm to prove up this calendar month as browned-out areas of turf that pull back hands, like a carpet. Grubs chew grass roots, resulting in turf that lifts up. Small damage is usually not cause for treatment. Pull back turf and count grubs (white C-shaped larvae with black heads); x to 12 per foursquare foot is considered enough to treat.

Homeowners might notice a chewed-up appearance to their lawns if grubs are numerous. Skunks, raccoons, and birds volition tear up grass searching for grubs, specially at night, sometimes doing more than damage than the grubs themselves.
