Application Instructions

Bare soil vs. overseeding matters — but both are possible.

All Earthwise native lawn mixes can be planted into prepared bare soil or overseeded into an existing lawn. The best approach depends on your current lawn conditions, timeline, and long-term goals.

Bare Soil Planting

• Provides the fastest and most uniform lawn establishment
• Ideal for new lawns, lawn replacements, and renovation projects
• Remove existing vegetation and loosen the top 1–2 inches of soil
• Broadcast seed evenly and lightly press into the soil surface

Overseeding

• Allows your lawn to transition naturally over time
• Best suited for thinning lawns or areas with existing grass
• Mow low or rake lightly before seeding to improve seed-to-soil contact
• Establishment may be slower but integrates well with existing turf

Timing & Establishment

• Plant during warm soil conditions, typically late spring through early summer
• Germination may take 2–5 weeks, depending on soil temperature and moisture
• Keep soil consistently moist during early establishment, then reduce watering gradually

What to Expect

• Growth is gradual as native grasses prioritize deep root development
• Mowing needs are minimal once established
• Drought tolerance improves significantly after the first growing season

Seeding Rate

• Recommended seeding rate is 1 lb per 500 sq ft for new lawns, or 1 lb per 1,000 sq ft for overseeding existing areas.
• The germination period can be 2-5 weeks.
