The best time to do it is between late summer and mid-autumn. There's a few reasons for this: firstly, the soil is warm and damp from rain, which provides the ideal environment for your seed to germinate. Another advantage is there's less competition from weeds around this time of year.The main reason grass seed doesn't germinate quickly during the spring months is cool and wet weather. Grass seed that is planted in soil temperatures below 50°F often will not grow. For the soil temperatures to reach 50°F you need 7-10 days of air temperatures to reach over 60°F.
