Prepare
Remove debris, then rake the soil to loosen and smooth the top layer.

Apply
For optimal results: Spread seeding mix approximately 1 cup/sq.ft. everywhere healthy beautiful grass is desired.
For extended results for grass up to 25% damage: Spread seeding mix approximately 1 cup/15 sq.ft. everywhere healthy beautiful grass is desired.

Water
Keep the soil moist by watering daily (twice a day, if needed) until grass sprouts and reaches about 3” tall. The wood mulch turns a darker color when properly watered. Once it turns a lighter color, it’s time to water again.
