There are three most common ways to seed a lawn.  Withall of these, ASI recommends starting with at least 3 inches of amended topsoil.  We also beleive it is important to make sure that your soil contains the proper ph levels. 

The three ways of seeding consisits of the following :

·        Broadcasting – This consists of the distribution of seed through a broadcast seeder on top of the topsoil covered by a straw based material.  A starter fertilizer is always recommend.

·        Slit Seeding – This process is done by seed dropping into a small trench created by a disk distributing the seed approximately one inch below the surface.  A starter fertilizer is always recommend as well.

·        Hydro-Seeding – This process is done by mixing water, seed, fertilizer and a bonding agent into a large tank and distributed onto the topsoil by spraying.

                                            Sod
