What is the best month to plant grass?
In Marietta, the ideal time for planting grass is early fall (September through October) when warm soil temperatures promote quick germination while cooler air reduces stress. Spring planting (late March through May) is also effective. We'll recommend the optimal timing based on your specific grass variety and project scope.
