   • Soil Preparation: Clear the area of debris, weeds, and existing grass. Loosen the soil to a depth of about 6 inches.
2. Seeding:
   • Timing: Plant in late spring or early summer when soil temperatures are consistently warm (70°F to 95°F).
   • Seeding Rate: Follow the package instructions for the recommended seeding rate, typically around 1 to 2 pounds per 1000 square feet.
   • Spreading Seeds: Use a broadcast spreader for even distribution. Lightly rake the soil to cover the seeds about 1/4 inch deep.
3. Watering:
   • Initial Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist until the grass is established.
   • Ongoing Watering: Once established, it requires about 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week.

Maintenance:

• Mowing: Mow when the grass reaches about 1.5 to 2 inches tall, maintaining a height of 1 to 1.5 inches for regular lawns.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in late spring and again in mid-summer. Scotts offers specific fertilizers designed to complement their grass seed products.
• Aeration: Aerate the lawn annually to reduce soil compaction and promote root growth.
• Pest and Weed Control: Monitor for pests and weeds, applying appropriate treatments as needed. The dense growth habit of Bermuda grass helps naturally suppress weeds.
