Another consideration is whether you are planting your lawn on virgin land or replenishing an existing patch. If the ground has never been planted then it must be thoroughly cleared to make sure nothing competes with your lawn as it grows. Uproot as much of everything as is possible. Most plants can grow just from the roots that are left behind when clearing so you want to make sure that this does not happen
When planting your seeds you need to make sure that you plant them evenly about the place so that there are no patches when your lawn does grow. The soil should be loose and the seeds be covered by another layer of this soil.
The early stages of growth are important as once it is established it will require little attention apart from the occasional trimming down. When watering your lawn make sure it has enough water but is shall not clogged. You can use fertilizer but weed killer only after you are sure that it is now strong.
