Are patchy and barren spots on your lawn causing frustration? Many homeowners share the struggle of dealing with unsightly patches, disrupting the overall beauty of their outdoor spaces. At Jamison Pest and Lawn, we understand this, and that's why our Fescue Seeding Program in Tennessee is designed to address this exact challenge.
The tall fescue grass seed will grow well in the shade of your trees and can eliminate those "undesirable bare ground areas" under the trees.
It is better to water less frequently (once or twice a week) for a longer period than to water every day for a short time. Infrequent, deep watering promotes greater root development in tall fescue grass seed.
Wait until the soil becomes dry before watering. One of the biggest mistake you can make is watering too often. It is better to wait until the soil is dry to a depth of 3" to 4". This will promote deeper root growth and a stronger root system. A good goal for watering your lawn is to apply 1 to 1 ½ inch of water per week during the summer growing season. Exact amounts will vary due to soil types, soil compaction, etc.
Slope and soil compaction can affect the amount and duration of watering the seeds. If your turf does not want to accept water and the water begins to run off quickly, you should consider aeration for your lawn.
We should all remember that water is our most precious resource and a lot of the water we use to irrigate our lawns and shrubs is often wasted. The helpful watering tips above will help ensure the health and beauty of your landscaping and prevent our most precious resources from being destroyed!
For optimal results, it is recommended to conduct fescue seeding between mid September to the end of October. During this period, fescue grass seed can germinate and grow in the waning warm weeks of Fall. This timing allows the seedlings to mature, establishing a robust root system that can better endure the challenges of the upcoming cold winter months and the subsequent summer heat. Given the limited time for seedlings to develop an adequate root system and the higher mortality rate associated with spring planting, our policy dictates that we do not perform fescue seeding in the spring.
