Had the driveway lifted in spring, had to start from scratch. Initial seed planted last week in May, got me to June 11 (pic one). Aug 11 is pic two.
Scott's Quick and Thick + Scott's Lawn Food + a whole lot of weed picking. (Almost weed free now).

Is Quick n thick the name of the seed? What varieties were they
Looks great, but these things are also a lot easier when your lawn is 100 sqft.
You always could, but takes more care and attention with the heat and typical dormancy for some grasses. Golf courses seem to get growth in the summer, right? Then again they’re tended by folks who do it for a living.
How do you water that lawn? Just wondering because it’s oddly shaped. Is it one go or do you need to move the sprinkler?
No one says that. It’s just a lot more effort.
Just need a lot of water. I did my yard years ago, started the project on July 4th…lol
The seed you selected is why got weeds…but, it looks good, which all that matters.
People say a lot of things.
No one says that
It’s possible to do so, yes, but especially with larger areas most people aren’t willing to pay the water bill necessary to keep seed alive and germinating in august
I don’t believe anyone says you can’t.
Advice here is understandably given in general terms.
I guess the real question is why are you too dumb to understand that, Show Pony? I guess one answer would be head injury, but this seems more like something you were born with.
I’ve read on here that grass grows better when it’s hotter. It’s just harder to keep the seeds moist for germination in hotter weather.
OP didnt mention theyre in North Dakota
OP says that but his yard is 1/50 the size of most people who require a lot more coverage and water in general.
Of course it’s possible to grow seed during summer you just need to water like crazy though lol
The difference is, most aren’t referring to a postage stamp patch of grass when talking about a lawn.
Also, what’s your location? Big difference between Pacific Northwest and Northeast for example.
Never heard you can’t. It’s just not the optimal time.
No one. It’s less optimal due to the heat. So there’s more risk of it not surviving and you’ll need to use more water. It’s just not the optimal time to grow.
Zone matters too. Where I live in Zone 4 i could have grown a whole golf course this summer
As long as you can keep up with the watering, it’s no problem. Another issue is that most people put down pre emergent in the spring for weed and crabgrass control. You would have to skip that.
I’d be so worried about hitting those rocks with the mower. Or the kids throwing the rocks onto the lawn.
Still looks to be mowed too low IMO. Whats the HOC here?
Which seeds?
my neighbor recently tilled his entire front lawn and is replanting. it was 90 last week and 92 this week, my husband and I are taking bets on the outcome. yours looks amazing but I fear my neighbors will not
I’ve tried multiple times and failed. When it’s 100 degrees new grass doesn’t care how much water you give it.
It’s been a very wet summer, you are lucky for that!
People that are seeding more the 25 square foot at a time.
My son grew from seed all through the summer and more. He was born in February
Did you start picking weeds as the grass gets more established or as soon as you saw them during the early stages? Looks great. I started mine mid July and it has grown a lot but a lot of damn weeds that iv been picking.

What’s the grass types?!
