fescue re-seeding
What is the best time of year to re-seed parts of my fescue lawn? I tried a
few weeks ago and nothing grew. I'm in the San Fernando Valley in LA, and it's been in the low to mid 90's for several weeks. I've had direct sun every day. Thanks |

Thanks Attempting to seed a lawn in high summer is one of the most futile efforts I can imagine . . . grass is normally dormant at that point. The very best time is late winter / early spring; just before the spring thaw, if you have one. That's when grass seed sprouts naturally. Alternatively, you can reseed in the fall and either get good growth established before winter by diligent attention or just let the seed lay until spring when it will cheerfully sprout.

fescue re-seeding
I have overseeded in October, with some light snowfall shortly after.
Fescue does not mind the cooler temperatures, in fact, it helps keep it moist. Right now, the intense sun could easily burn the seedlings. I saw dramatic results in a much thicker lawn by overseeding the previous fall. Definately protect with straw.
