Recommended rate: 7 lb per 1,000 sq ft for a new lawn.
The math:
Seed (lb) = (Area ÷ 1,000) × Rate per 1,000 sq ft
50 lb Bags = Seed (lb) ÷ 50, rounded up
Rate per Acre = Rate per 1,000 sq ft × 43.56
You need approximately
35
lb of tall fescue seed
That’s about
1 bag
(50 lb bags)
For 5,000 sq ft
Rate per 1,000 sq ft / per acre
7 lb per 1,000 sq ft
≈ 304.9 lb/acre (~6.1 bags of 50 lb per acre)
Buy a little extra for edges and touch-ups. Seed keeps if stored cool and dry.
