Let the grass seed buyer beware!
Did you know that most off-the-shelf grass seed contains a percentage of weed seed? Or that a grass seed label may list the species of grass seed but not the variety (Variety Not Stated 'VNS'). When purchasing 'VNS' you have no real idea what kind of grass you're getting.

When you buy from Summit Seed, you can have complete confidence that the seed you're getting has the highest purity and variety integrity possible. In fact, our seed is certified by the state of Oregon for purity and quality. Furthermore, your Summit Seed purchase will list the species and the variety of seed, so there won't be any surprises.

How do you choose and care for your grass?
Simply take a moment to read the following steps. We'll take you through the seeding and care process. We'll even share some of our industry secrets -- things that the pros know including overseeding (probably the best tip we can give you) to ensure that your lawn stays lush looking year 'round.

1. Learn what grass is best for your climate type. The climate and region you live in dictates the best grass seed to use. Yet many homeowners aren't even aware that the seed they are using may be completely wrong for their area. Our eight types of grass seed have been specially selected with climate-type in mind. To find out which grass is best for you, visit our climate map and price sheet. Click here to view the Summit Seed Seed Finder.

2. Find out how to care for your lawn. The steps to a beautiful lawn are as simple as 1-2-3. Our Lawn Care Guide tells you how.
