3. Choose a color that coordinates your homeâs exterior colors. I personally like homes that use three paint colors. Usually one color is used for the exterior sides of the house, the second color is for the trim, and a third color accents the architecture, shutters, or some other detail. If a fourth color is used, stick to just the front door.
This should be on the grass seed bag or can be obtained from the dealer. Each mix differs in the recommended rate. Most seed mixes call for around 4 to 5 pounds of seed per 1,000 square feet of land. For this example, the rate used is 5 pounds per 1,000 square feet.
Determine the correct seeding rate for the type of grass you are planting. A pre-calculated rate will be in pounds per 1,000 square feet. Divide the number of pounds specified by 1,000 and multiply the new figure by the number of square feet in your planting area for the total amount of seed needed.. Measure out the total amount of grass seed required to cover the planting site and divide it into 2 equal portions. Calibrate the drop spreader to one-half the seeding rate. Pour one portion of grass seed into the drop spreader.
