Watering, fertilizing and proper mowing are all important aspects of lawn care. But to maintain that healthy, lush lawn you also need to be smart about seeding.

Watering deeply and infrequently is the usual recommendation for an established lawn, but a newly seeded lawn requires more watering than usual because grass seed dies when it dries out.

In order to get the most out of your grass seed, opt for a seed, such as Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed with Water Smart, that allows you to get the lawn you want with less water. The seed is wrapped in a super absorbent coating that actually holds water to keep the seed moist even if you miss a day of watering. The result is a great looking lawn.
