Get the Lawn of Your Dreams with Merriam Feed + Seed

Tired of side-eyeing your neighbor’s perfectly green lawn while yours looks like it’s going through a rough patch? We’ve got good news. With the right seed, prep, and a little persistence, your dream lawn is totally within reach. Merriam Feed + Seed has everything you need to make it happen.

Let’s grow something great.

Choose the Right Grass for Your Lawn

Every great lawn starts with the right seed. The kind that doesn’t just survive your climate but thrives in it.

Whether you’re after a cool-season blend like Tri-Star Turf Fescue or Revolution Fescue, or you’re curious about Rye or Clover options, we’ve got grass seed by the pound or in bulk (20–50 lb bags). We’ll help you choose what works best for your yard and your patience level.

Prepare Your Soil

Great grass won’t grow in compacted, weedy, sad soil.

Give it a fresh start:
• Clear out weeds and debris
• Aerate or till the soil to loosen things up
• Add fertilizer or compost to boost nutrients
• Consider a starter fertilizer to give your seed the best shot

If your yard’s been through some things (looking at you, summer heat and dogs), this step makes all the difference.

Plant, Water and Wait (The Hardest Part)

Once your soil’s ready, it’s go time. Spread a light layer of topsoil, then seed evenly across your lawn. Follow the instructions on your seed bag and we promise it’s worth reading. Keep it watered, especially during dry spells. You want the soil to stay consistently moist until the seed germinates and establishes roots. And no, this is not the time to forget to turn off the sprinkler.

Lawns don’t magically happen. They’re grown with the right seed, good prep, and a little patience. But once it all fills in, you’ll have the kind of lawn that makes people slow down when they walk past.
