  • We overseeded our patchy front yard in September and by mid October it had filled in thick and even. The seed came up fast, even in the shady corner by the porch, and the dog has been running all over it.

    How it Works

    Sow in early autumn or spring when temperatures are mild. Clear weeds and debris, then rake the soil into a fine, even bed. Broadcast seed evenly and press it lightly into the soil, no deeper than 1/4 inch. Water gently and keep the soil moist. Begin mowing once the grass reaches about 3 inches, cutting no more than one-third of the blade.

    What's Included?

    1 x Greenhaven Cold-Hardy Fall Grass Seed bag. A perennial, cool-season mix of several cold-tolerant grass varieties, untreated and USDA Organic / Non-GMO Project labeled per the packaging.

      FAQs

      When is the best time to sow?

      Early autumn is ideal, when soil is still warm and nights are cool. Spring also works once temperatures are mild. Avoid sowing during extreme heat or frost.

      How fast will it grow?

      Seeds typically sprout in 5 to 7 days and grow into a full lawn in about 30 days with steady watering.

      Does it grow in shade?

      Yes. The blend does well in full sun and moderate shade. Very dense shade may need extra care or more frequent overseeding.

      Is it safe for kids and pets?

      Yes. The seed is untreated and contains no harmful substances, so kids and pets can play on the lawn once it is established.

      How much area does one bag cover?

      Coverage depends on the bag size you choose and whether you are overseeding or starting a new lawn. Check the size listed on the packaging for the recommended rate.

      What if I'm not happy with it after ordering?

      Contact us within 30 days of delivery and we will arrange a replacement or refund.

      • Better than my old seed

        Thicker coverage than the cheap seed I used last year, and it handled the cooler nights fine.

      • Great for shady yards

        My backyard gets morning sun only and this still came in nicely. Will reorder in spring.

        Nice to know the seed is untreated. Our dog is on the lawn every day and no issues.
