It is almost October. You should be safe sowing grass seeds now. Grass will germinate quickly and rains will help water it.
Hi Traci. You can put down a winterizer fertilizer now, and then in spring you will need to use a crab grass preventor. Crab grass is a annual and reseeds itself. This has a preemergent in it that does not allow the crab grass seeds to germinate. Then in summer I use a fertilizer with weed and feed in it. Make sure to read the instructions on the bag. It is important to get these out at the right time. I am not a big fan of using chemicals but our lawn was the same way. Once you have it under control you can use a organic fertilizer. In WI we have one made here called milorganite. Good Luck!
