Step 3: Plant

Scatter the seeds by hand evenly over the area you’ve chosen and prepared. Then, rake them into the soil. 

The unusual size and shape of this water-wise grass seed makes it difficult for the seeds to pass through a traditional seeder. Spreading the seed by hand is more effective. 

The seeding rate for this mix is 3 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Your pre-portioned bag of seed mix from Denver Water is 1.5 pounds and should be sufficient for a 500-square-foot area. 

Once you have spread the seeds evenly over the area, rake them to help the seeds settle into the soil for optimal growth.
