When is the best time to sow your lawn?
Generally, the ideal times in Quebec for sowing grass or laying sod are in spring or late summer, when temperatures are milder and there are more rainy days. In spring, it is recommended to sow your lawn from mid-May to mid-June, when there is no longer any frost on the ground. In fact, do not sow your lawn if the temperature does not reach at least 8°C. In summer, this period moves from mid-August to mid-September. However, it should be noted that these periods may vary depending on the region where you live.
To enjoy your lawn for a long time, you must take care of it regularly from the first days of seeding. Using a seeding technique rather than laying sod requires more patience, as the results depend on the surrounding conditions. Here are the ideal conditions that promote the healthy growth of your lawn:
- A flat, fertile land rich in organic compounds;
- A soil with a slightly acidic pH, i.e. 6 to 6.5;
- Have at least 6 hours of sunshine per day on your land;
- Wait until the room temperature is around 15°C to 22°C;
- Water the lawn regularly.
