How do I start a new lawn using seed?

Till, sow, roll, mulch, water

Till your entire area and remove all of the debris. Sow your seed according to the rate and depth listed on the package. Roll the lawn to ensure good seed contact with the soil. Top the seedbed with a quality straw mulch (not hay). Water the seedbed at least daily--twice daily if necessary--to keep it moist.
