Find the Best Grass Seed for Your Lawn
Whether you’re planting a brand-new lawn or trying to rehabilitate one that looks worse for wear, Lowe’s has seed, sod, fertilizer and tools to bring beautiful grass to life. Browse the products you need to keep your lawn looking fresh and manicured and to keep weeds at bay.
Instantly Upgrade Your Lawn With Sod
If you’re on a tight timeline and have the budget, the quickest way to a gorgeous lawn is to use sod. Sod pieces or pallets are ideal for larger areas where you need instant grass and, since your lawn will be in place immediately, you’ll have fewer weeds to worry about. If you have a longer timeline, consider sod plugs — smaller pieces of grass with soil around the roots. You can plant them throughout an area, and they’ll eventually spread.
Choosing the Right Grass Seed
For a more budget-friendly lawn option, plant the best grass seed for the climate you live in. Lowe’s offers a variety of primary grass seed types, including fescue grass, perennial ryegrass and grass seed blends from popular brands like Scotts, Pennington and Sta-Green.
You’ll want to consider several factors when choosing grass seed, such as the amount of sunlight your lawn area receives and how much foot traffic you expect. If you’re not sure which is the best grass seed for you, check out our guide — Choosing the Right Type of Lawn Grass.
Use our Grass Seed Calculator to accurately determine how much grass seed you need for your lawn. In areas where there are heavy rains or other strong weather, seed blankets will keep seeds in place. This will prevent them from washing away and ensure that your grass doesn’t grow in clumps. The blankets also protect your seeds and new blades of grass from animals.
Fertilizing Your Lawn
Once you choose the best grass seed for your land, set your new lawn up for success with the ideal lawn fertilizer. Most fertilizers come in a slow-release granular form which will feed your lawn throughout the season. Liquid fertilizers are fast-acting and offer more control over the areas you choose to fertilize. Choose a winter guard fertilizer to help protect your lawn from the elements, especially in northern climates. Consider a weed-and-feed or crabgrass-preventing fertilizer to keep intrusive plants at bay. If your lawn is brand new, lawn starter fertilizer will help your new grass build roots and turf.
Sprinklers and Tools for Easy Upkeep
Keep your lawn lush and your yard neat with tools from Lowe’s. Determine which sprinkler system will work best for you depending on the square footage of your lawn and your typical climate. An in-ground system will conserve water, but the installation process can be time consuming. Lowe’s also offers moveable lawn sprinklers, spike sprinklers, sled sprinklers, tripods and clamps. When your lawn grows long, keep it well-groomed with our selection of lawnmowers and string trimmers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the basics of lawn care?
A: The basics of lawn care include preparing the soil; adding fertilizer and weed control; seeding with a proper grass type for your location; adequately watering your lawn; and mowing properly. Light, air and moisture are the key components for a healthy, green lawn.
Q: How can I make my lawn green again?
A: Brown grass is a sign that your lawn is under stress. Heat and drought conditions, especially in the summer, will impact your lawn. To help revive your grass, there are several steps you can take. First, make sure to sufficiently water the soil. Water early in the morning to prevent fast evaporation. Second, mow your grass at a high level or mow less frequently to limit the stress on your grass. Third, remove weeds that can have a negative effect on your lawn. Try to remove as many as possible by hand to reduce further impact.
Q: How do you keep your lawn healthy?
A: Keeping your lawn at its best means watering properly, mowing at a height that will not cut the grass too short, keeping your soil healthy and controlling weed growth. Taking all of these steps should help your lawn be the envy of the neighborhood.
