The Grass Doctor

What is the best way to seed a lawn with grass seed?

We have deliberately killed all the weeds and differnt types of grass in our yard with Roundup. We want to plant Argentina Bahaia grass. What is the best way to prep the soil, plant the seeds and keep the critters out?

1. Cultivate the soil to loosen it, correct pH as needed, correct fertility as needed. Rake it level, seed and rake lightly again. Irrigation is important, perhaps several times a day. As for critters, what kind?
2. You asked for the best. After your lawn is prepped, hire a landscaping contractor to come in and Hydroseed. A hydroseeded is a machine that mixes a slush which includes water, grass seed, fertilizer, and bonding mulch. Once this mixture is mixed, the operator sprays this on your lawn. After daily watering, you should start to see grass in a matter of days. Look to spend about twenty cents per square foot for this service. After pricing all the necessary ingredients, and figure anything in for time, you may find this is not too expensive at all. Good Luck
