Looking for good grass seed advice

Sacramento weather is finally cooling off, so I’m planning to reseed in a couple of weeks. I’ve lived in this neighborhood for over 20 years and never reseeded before. Recently cut the grass low and sprayed tenacity a month ago, followed by weed killer two weeks ago.

Where can I find the best info on the right seed variety for my area?

Hey, don’t forget! The 2024 Lawn of the Year contest is happening. You have until the end of September to enter your lawn if you’re proud of it!

Twin City Seed has a cool seed quiz. Just search for ‘Twin City Seed Quiz’ online. Based on your answers, it’ll suggest which seeds are right for you. From what I’ve read here, Twin City seeds are high quality with no weed seeds mixed in.

Great, I didn’t notice that feature when I looked at their site before. I’ll check again.

Yeah, it’s kind of hidden. I usually find it by searching for it directly.

If there’s no weed seed in the mix, is it still a good idea to use starter fertilizer with mesotrione?

I use it.

Good to know! I’m really excited to finally have a nice green lawn next week. I tried the quiz again and adjusted a few answers, but got the same suggestions. Thanks to both u/MickFlaherty and u/Wild-Principle-2729 for their help too.
