Coverage & Rates

How to Use For New Lawns
  1. Rake the area to loosen ~2 in (5 cm) of topsoil; remove debris.
  2. Apply using a Scotts spreader (instructions vary by spreader type).
  3. Lightly rake seed into soil so it's just beneath the surface.
  4. Water daily to keep soil surface moist until grass seedlings reach ~2 in tall.
How to Use For Overseeding Existing Lawns
  1. Mow existing lawn to ~2 in or use the lowest mower setting.
  2. Rake lightly to loosen topsoil and remove dead grass or debris.
  3. Apply seed with appropriate spreader settings.
