Understanding Canadian lawn needs

Every region in Canada has unique conditions that influence grass growth. Here’s what to consider:

● Climate adaptability: Choose seeds that can withstand Canada’s harsh winters and hot summers.

Planting your grass seed

Proper planting ensures healthy growth. Here’s a quick guide:

● Prepare the soil: Loosen the soil and remove debris for better seed-to-soil contact.

● Spread evenly: Use a spreader for consistent coverage.

● Water daily: Keep the soil moist for optimal germination.

Pro tip: Golfgreen NitroGrow+™ Grass Seed comes pre-mixed with fertilizer, reducing the need for additional products.

Caring for your newly seeded lawn

Follow these maintenance tips to ensure long-term success:

● Water regularly: Light daily watering helps new seeds establish roots.

● Mow carefully: Wait until grass reaches 3–4 inches before mowing.

● Fertilize strategically: Use Golfgreen NitroGrow™ Lawn Fertilizer to provide essential nutrients during the growing season.

Pro tip: Avoid heavy foot traffic on newly seeded areas to give grass time to grow strong and healthy.
