Often areas under trees or in between a property's fence line and walls are too shady to support warm season grasses such as bermuda grass, common to Oklahoma. If turf is what is desired for these locations, we recommend seeding annually with a Fescue grass blend.
For best results, any leaf matter, twigs or debris should be removed from the area to ensure good contact with the soil is achieved. Soil surface should be disturbed by either aeration, raking or top dressing the area.
AgriLawn will broadcast a high quality certified seed and leave you proper post seeding instructions. We recommend that this be done annually.
Watering is a very important part of the germination process and patience and attention after planting are important. Soil moisture levels must be maintained to ensure uniform germination. Newly seeded areas should be watered a minimum of once per day with a mist or light spray of water. On days with higher winds, additional watering may be required to prevent the soil surface from drying out. The soil surface should be kept moist until seedlings are approximately 1" in height. At that time, watering should become deeper and less frequent (.25" to .5" every other day). It is important not to mow until new plants have reached at least 3" of height.
