5. Topdressing: Apply a thin layer of compost or topsoil over the newly seeded areas to enhance seed-to-soil contact and provide nutrients as the grass begins to grow.

6. Watering: Establish a consistent watering schedule. Newly seeded lawns require frequent, light watering until the grass is well-established.

7. Fertilization: After the grass germinates, apply a starter fertilizer to provide essential nutrients that will aid in establishing strong root systems.

8. Weed Control: Be vigilant about weed growth, especially in the early stages of establishment. Apply pre-emergent herbicides if necessary, following the appropriate timing to avoid harming your new grass.

9. Mowing: Once the grass reaches the recommended height for mowing, ensure to cut it at the right height for the specific grass type you have. Regular mowing helps encourage thick grass growth.
