For most cool season grasses and for folks living in northern climates, the best time to plant grass is in late August, early September. Depending on exactly the climate you have and the type of grass seed you're planting.
In Michigan, late August to mid-September is the ideal time to seed all grass types. The soil is warm yet the air has cooled down from summer temperatures. However, most homeowners donât want to go through the summer with a spotty lawn. Mid to late spring can be a suitable time to reseed bare patches in the lawn, after frost warnings are lifted. The soil temperature needs to be at least 50 degrees for grass to germinate at a normal rate.
