Is It Possible to Seed Grass in Winter?

Seeding grass in the winter can be done and is known as dormant seeding.
The grass seed will lay dormant through the winter months until it thaws and sprouts as the temperature rises.

Preparing your lawn and soil for the seed you want to sow will just take some preparation work.
The most important thing for dormant seeding to work is moisture.
Another concern may be protecting the seeded area if it is not covered by snow.

Snow coverage protects the seed from being eaten by wildlife and blown away by the wind.
This method can have its positives and negatives.
