(August) We are moving into a new house and we want to plant grass seed. Could
you tell me when is the best time to plant the seed and what kind of seed to
plant for Fairfield Bay, AR. The grass will be in full sun.
The best grass for this situation is Bermuda grass, however it is too late to seed for this year. There is a possibility that the seed would germinate with our warm soil, and it would look like a lawn, but it is highly improbable that it would survive the winter. A better option would be to plant ryegrass seed in mid September to give you a green temporary lawn, and seed with the common Bermuda in mid April through early June next spring.
