Late summer and early fall is the best time to establish a lawn in Maine. The soil is still warm, so seeds have time to germinate before the cold winter weather comes, and weed competition is far less severe than in the spring.

With that in mind, here are a few tips for getting the most out of your lawn this season...

Instant Lawn with Sod

Strips of sod are the fastest way to install a new lawn for your home

Skip the seed and start enjoying a new lawn right away with sod from Estabrook's.

Fresh sod has just arrived at our Yarmouth store and we can also deliver pallets of sod right to your home. Order online today!
