Q:  Can I over-seed it into my existing lawn and weeds?

Q: Will Pearl's Premium spread into my garden or neighbor’s lawn?
A: No, Pearl's Premium stays where you put it. To keep rain from moving the seeds down a slope before they become established, roll the seeds into the soil with an empty roller, lightly rake them into the soil or hydro-seed to stick the seeds in place.

Q: What are the best times to plant Pearl's Premium?
A: The spring and fall are the best times to plant Pearl's Premium. If you plant in the spring, research shows that grass seed sprouts best when the ground temperature is between 60°- 70° F. This varies by location but is usually from the 4th week in April up until the second or third week in May in the Northeast.  Fall is ideal because the heat and weeds of summer are past.

Q: Will Pearl's Premium grow under maple and other large trees?
A: Yes. The “Shady” mix will, but it needs to be watered for a longer period during the establishing period and summer of the first year, because the grass has to compete with the tree leaves and the tree roots for water in order to get established. By the next summer, a Pearl's Premium lawn will be fine under the tree.

Q:  Can Pearl's Premium grass seed stand up to heavy traffic, children or dogs? Can I use it on playing fields?

Q: Does Pearl's Premium Grass Seed grow on pure sand or in new construction?
A: It grows in partially sandy soil, but if it is either all sand or the soil has been stripped away, as is sometimes the case with new construction, or your soil is junk fill, you need to put in 2 to 3+ inches of new soil over the sand, sub soil or fill soil, before putting down seed.

Q:  My lawn has different sun conditions.  I think most of my lawn would work with the 'Sunny' mix.  However, part of it definitely would require the 'Shady' version.  How noticeable will it be where these two sections meet?  Is the color different?
A: The color is subtly different, but you can overlap the seeds a little to make the transition quite smooth. Some people mix the two Pearl's Premium grass seeds together and spread everywhere and the appropiate seed will prosper for the right light level.
