When planting grass in North Carolina, there are a few tips you should keep in mind to ensure success:

• Prepare the soil: Before planting, make sure to prepare the soil by removing any weeds, rocks, or debris. You can also amend the soil with compost or other organic matter to improve its fertility and texture.
• Choose the right grass: Choose a grass type that is well-suited for the conditions in your yard. Factors to consider include the amount of sunlight, soil type, and moisture levels.
• Plant at the right time: As discussed above, make sure to plant warm-season grasses in late spring or early summer and cool-season grasses in the fall.
• Water regularly: After planting, make sure to water your grass regularly to keep the soil moist and help the seeds germinate. Once the grass is established, you can reduce watering to once or twice a week.
• Mow at the right height: Once your grass is established, make sure to mow it at the right height for the specific grass type. Mowing too low can stress the grass and make it more susceptible to pests and diseases..
