I am building a new home on one acre that has previously been a hayfield for years. It will be graded and topsoil spread. I am in charge of seeding it.

Southeast PA
No trees on the lot. It will be wide open sun other than the house shadow.

I do not care about pristine grass whatsoever. I just need something that will take root and not be too finicky or expensive to buy or plant/start.

Build is estimated to finish mid February.

What would the best type of grass be?
How much seed for one acre wide open ?
Who are some reputable vendors/best time to buy?
Best time to plant?

We have 4wheelers and ATVs that we can hook seed spreaders up to. And straw to spread.

Yes I could Google or AI it but I don’t trust that.

Thanks for any opinions!!

if you have a local cooperative use their brand of 30-0-4 and save money over LCN double dark and milorganite. this is 2 weeks application and no rain since application [it rained the next day after applying which is why I did it then.]

This is native to my wooded area but I like it's softness and want to get seed to cover some barren areas. But I don't want to introduce something invasive. Thanks.

Hi all,

I have an issue with grass growth under children's swing and hope, that you have some ideas for solutions.

I have grass in shade, between high fence and north side of house under 100yo tree. Middle Europe.

Since this is not bad enough, because grass mixture for shade grows beautifully, i hung a swing on the branch, and children have obliterated the grass under it. I kind of expected it, but hoped for the best

Is there any grass type, that loves to be trampled to death once or twice a week?

Maybe anything else, that is suitable for walking on barefoot?

Thanks for any and all help!

Our back yard used to be plush and amazing but is currently struggling. I plan on picking out the weeds that have taken over the brown patches but am having trouble getting the grass to grow back.
I believe it may have been over fertilized earlier this spring, I tried raking it out and giving it extra water after the fact.
Looking for help figuring out the next step!
