Hello Randy, Depending on weather and temperature, not just of the air but also the soil, grass seed can be up and showing in 14 days. During dry periods the seed can just sit there until conditions improve. What helps is getting good contact of the seed with the soil. Large areas contractors would use a tractor and roller, with a small domestic lawn tamping with the back of the rake after sowing is ok. Best time is autmn and spring. Regards, Phil
