Seeded area refusing to grow? I had both sod and grass seed installed about a year ago. You can clearly see the difference between the two areas—just ignore the left side, that’s my neighbor’s lawn. My question is: after a full year, should the seeded section be looking nearly the same as the sodded area? Right now, the seed area still looks darker and not as thick. I’m currently on a 9-step fertilizer and weed control program with a local lawn care company. What do I need to do to make the seeded area look as lush and full as the sod? Or is it simply a matter of needing more time, growth, and water? I’m located in Minnesota. Originally by u/iiWrecky on Reddit: https://tinyurl.com/yqb94cms
