Get the Lawn of Your Dreams with Merriam Feed + Seed

Tired of pretending you don’t see your neighbor’s perfectly green yard while yours looks like it’s going through something?

We get it.

But good news: that dream lawn you’ve been hoping for? Totally doable. With the right prep and quality grass seed from Merriam Feed + Seed, you can turn patchy and sad into lush and brag-worthy. Here's how to get growing.

Step 1

Pick the Right Grass Seed

Not all grass seed is created equal. Choosing the right variety for your climate, soil, and lawn goals is where it all begins. We carry trusted local blends like Revolution Fescue, Tri-Star Turf Fescue, and more—available by the pound, 25 lb, or 50 lb bag. Not sure what you need? We’ll help you match your yard with the best seed for long-term success (and fewer future meltdowns at the hose).


Step 2

Prep Like a Pro

Want your grass to grow? You’ve got to give it a good home.

• Clear out weeds and debris
• Loosen up compacted soil with tilling or aeration
• Mix in compost or starter fertilizer if your soil needs a boost

This is the part where lazy lawns go to thrive. Trust us. Prepping right makes everything easier later.


Step 3

Plant It. Water It. Watch It Happen.

Time to get that seed in the ground. Spread a thin layer of topsoil if needed, sow your seed evenly, and follow the directions on the bag (we know, instructions aren’t fun—but this part matters).

Then? Water. Often. Especially during dry spells. Your new grass needs consistent moisture to sprout, establish roots, and eventually become the yard of your Pinterest dreams.


Great lawns aren’t magic. They’re the result of good seed, solid prep, and a little patience. Merriam Feed + Seed has the grass seed, fertilizers, lawn tools, and guidance to get your yard from “meh” to “please don’t walk on it.” So what are you waiting for? Let’s turn your lawn into the one everyone else low-key wishes they had.
