Why This Seed?

The perfect combination of two high level grass types. Kentucky Bluegrass provides it's superior spreading ability, excellent winter hardiness and dormancy function, while Perennial Ryegrass protects against weed growth with fast germination, insects with endophytes, and works better slightly shady areas. Together you get an amazing mixture of seeds that will make your lawn dreams come true.

Technical Details

Kentucky bluegrass + perennial ryegrass mixtures are widely used in cool-season turf systems because the species complement each other biologically: ryegrass offers quick germination and early canopy closure, while bluegrass provides long-term sod strength through rhizomatous spread and recuperation. The Guelph Turfgrass Institute explicitly describes this functional pairing, noting ryegrass germinates quickly and is often mixed with hardier Kentucky bluegrass to provide immediate coverage while bluegrass becomes established. This same establishment reality is echoed broadly in extension guidance, where KBG is described as slower to germinate (often requiring multiple weeks), while ryegrass appears sooner—important for building a predictable renovation timeline in Canadian spring/fall seeding windows.

Technically, this blend uses improved cultivars from both species groups to drive density, genetic colour, and functional durability. On the KBG side, Blue Note and Legend are documented in cultivar performance discussions associated with trial-based screening frameworks, reflecting modern breeding objectives like turf quality and drought tolerance evaluation through standardized testing. On the ryegrass side, the species’ value in wear tolerance and rapid establishment is well-established in turf literature and is enhanced in modern cultivars that may include endophytes that contribute to insect deterrence and stress tolerance. The net technical goal is a lawn stand that looks good quickly (ryegrass-driven early cover) and improves over time (bluegrass-driven lateral recovery), which is exactly the “fast results + long-term performance” profile many Canadian homeowners want but rarely get from commodity seed.

"I used seed and fertilizer from The Lawn Medic in the Spring. The transformation over about 5 weeks was incredible. The pictures tell the story. The new lawn came in thick and green and it has stayed that way all year. No weeds. Strong growth."

Step-by-step Seeding Guide

A quick version of our seeding guide

ONE

Cut Your Lawn

The first step to seeding is cutting your existing lawn. The goal is to cut it shorter than usual, shocking your grass to top it from growing and making it easier for your new seed to filter through the blades and touch soil.

TWO

Dethatch your lawn

If you are overseeding, dethatching (with a rake or powered) is a suggested step as it helps to remove thatch and debris from your lawn, helping seeds to find soil, but also allowing water to find the seeds more easily.

THREE

Aerate your lawn

Areation is optional when seeding, but if your soil is compacted or you were planning to aerate, this is a great time to do iit.

FOUR

Topdress your lawn

Topdressing is another optional step. If your lawn is bumpy, and you want to level it, now is a great time. However topdressing is not required for seeding. One of the most important aspects of seeding is seed-to-soil-contact. If your seed is able to properly touch soil in your lawn, then topdressing is not required.

FIVE

Seed your lawn

It is finally time to seed your lawn. Pick the right seed for your yard and spread it using a push or hand held spreader. We recommend applying your seed in multiple directions as this helps to ensure an even spread.

SIX

Roll Your Lawn

In order to ensure as much seed-to-soil-contact as possible we recommend rolling your lawn after seeding. This helps to push the seed down into your lawn and onto the soil. Your seed must touch soil in order to properly germinate.

SEVEN

Cover Your Lawn

We highly recommend covering your newly seeded lawn with peat moss (or similar) if possible. Peat moss acts like a sponge, holding moisture on your seeds and cutting down on water requiements. It also helps. to protect your seed from un-off and birds.

EIGHT

Water your lawn

Keeping your newly seeded lawn watered is the most important step. We recommend watering 3-5 times a day for 4-10 minutes. This depends greatly only your sprinkler setup, the amount of sun, temperature and a number of other variables. Do not let your seeds dry out.

NINE

Wait for your lawn

And now you wait. Depending on the soil temperature and the seed you are using germination could happen in less than a week, or up to three weeks. Keep watering properly and be patient.

TEN

Cut your lawn

Once your new lawn is 2-3" in height your can cut it for the first time. We recommend sharpening your blade before cutting, and limiting turns as much as possible. You want to be gentle with your new lawn.

ELEVEN

Fertilizer your Lawn

We recommend waiting until you cut your newly seeded lawn 1-2 times before fertilizing. Using a fertilizer that is high in Phosphorus, like our starter fertilizers, helps to promote root development and create a stronger, healthier lawn.
