How to Plant Perennial Rye Grass Seed

Planting your Perennial Ryegrass seed will require the same preparation as sodding a lawn. First, remove what is on the property (i.e., existing sod). Then rototill the area and clean out the soil. Next, apply fresh topsoil; we recommend 1 yard for every 200 sq ft. Finally, spread the grass seed along with starter fertilizer. Be sure to tuck the seed in a little bit to avoid birds or other animals from eating the seed.  

Watering Your Perennial Rye Grass Seed Lawn

Keep the soil moist for the first few weeks to allow the seed to germinate and root properly. Once the seed has germinated, follow regular watering instructions for your sod lawn. 

Mowing Your Perennial Rye Grass Lawn

Your first mowing can be done approximately 6 weeks after seeding your lawn. The height of the sod blades will likely be uneven, so set the lawn mower to the highest setting and slowly work your way down to the recommended mowing height. DO NOT mow a wet lawn.
