    Low Maintenance. High Coverage. Naturally Resilient.

    Looking for a low-maintenance, dense turfgrass that thrives in the warm, humid South? Premium Grade Coated Carpetgrass Seeds are the ideal solution for creating a lush, weed-resistant lawn with minimal input. Native to the Gulf Coast region—from East Texas to Florida and as far north as Virginia—Carpetgrass is a creeping, warm-season perennial that forms a thick, weed-suppressing mat with rich green blades and signature two-branched seedstalks.

    Whether you're seeding a home lawn, roadside, pasture, park, or golf course rough, Carpetgrass offers exceptional ground coverage on acidic, sandy, or poorly fertilized soils. Its adaptability, shade tolerance, and affordability make it a go-to choice for homeowners, landscapers, and land managers across the southern U.S.

    How to Plant Carpetgrass Seeds:

    1. Prepare the Soil: Create a loose, smooth, and firm seedbed. Disk, till, and roll if needed.
    2. Seeding: Broadcast or drill 2 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft. Lightly rake to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
    3. Timing: Plant after the last spring frost, ideally April to early May. Avoid seeding after September 15.
    4. Watering: Keep soil moist (not soggy) for 2–3 weeks. Once established (8–10 weeks), water only during drought.
    5. Mowing: Mow every 5–7 days during the growing season. Maintain at ¾–2 inches, depending on use.
