I'm going to pay an unfortunate price next month to have my lawn leveled / trenches and holes filled in. It will be the beginning of the rainy season in Missouri. Should I go ahead and do it, or wait until fall?
I like a oat lawn - for the few months it stays around.I might just mix some oats in with the grass seed in order to hold the soil better. I did that once and it worked pretty good.
Although it's not my lawn I'm sure that what he is doing is having a load of topsoil brought in and spread on parts of his existing lawn. Doing so will give him a nice smooth even surface in which he can plant new seed. Seed companies do give information on planting seed but it's all the same information. Probably the same information all over the world. It's tough though to get real-world advice on the back of a bag of speed.Forgive me please. Here I am in the UK. I have several qualifications under my belt. From 1st class gardening and groundsmanship. To being a Dr. of plant pathology and plant and soil science. Sadly, with due respects. This is perhaps where our understand of each other across the pond falters.
So please. What do you mean by, having your lawn levelled etc. Are you attempting to harness some prarie area? When you purchase seed. Do you not get some constructive notes of when to, and how to sow?
I do apologise and in no way do I wish to offend, but there is a kind of mis-interpretaion at times. Enjoy your gardening.
