It’s October in Texas which means we see temperatures slowly drop and watch rain storms roll in through the rainy season. While fall on the Gulf Coast doesn’t always offer a full seasonal change, there is one item that should be on your to do list. October means it’s time to plant Ryegrass in Texas.

If you’re looking to maintain a lush, green lawn all year long, look no further than Ryegrass.

Why Ryegrass?

Ryegrass actually grows very well in Southeast Texas so it’s a local favorite for those who are looking to keep their lawns healthy and thriving all year.

Experienced homeowners, farmers, and even landscapers know that planting Ryegrass in colder months will protect their other grasses such as Bermuda which can be costly to replace or reseed in warmer months. With deep roots, Ryegrass offers superior nutrition to your lawn and will protect it against freeze. Come spring, your Texas lawn will thank you.

When Should I Plant Ryegrass?

In order to best protect your existing turf, you should overseed your lawn  sometime between October-November, or after the first frost.

Where Should I Plant Ryegrass?

Ryegrass is an adaptable grass and can be planted in your yard, pastures, or pens. Simply plant it wherever you’d like to protect your existing turf.

How Much Rye Grass Seed Should I Use?

If you are overseeding an existing lawn, the typical application of Rye Grass Seed is about 40 pounds to one acre.
