What’s the best grass seed for Omaha lawns?

In Omaha, Heat Wave tall fescue has deep roots, drought resistance, and it’s tough enough for dogs and kids. Need a softer feel? Try our Blue Wave bluegrass for its rich color and dense growth, but know it needs more care. Got shade? Our Premium Shade Mix blends fine fescue with turf-type rye for better coverage under trees. We pick every grass seed at our lawn and garden center in Omaha for its compatibility with Midwest soil.

Can I seed and fertilize on the same day?

Yes, you should apply Renovator and grass seed on the same day. And then it’s all about watering. When you stop by and visit, you’ll get clear answers and leave Grass Pad with a plan, not just a bag of product.

How do I know if I need sod or seed?

Depends on your timeline, budget, and patience. Sod gives you instant green and works great to patch in smaller areas quick, but can cost more upfront. Grass seed is budget-friendly and works great if you’ve got time or a large area where you need grass. Think about foot traffic, season, and how quickly you need coverage. We’ll walk you through all your options at our lawn and garden center in Omaha.

Help Me With My Lawn

This Ain’t Your Big Box Store

Loveland Grass Pad didn’t start in a warehouse. It started in a garage.

On F Street. In a little green house, with two people who had a passion for green grass and weren’t afraid to get dirt on their boots. That was over 60 years ago. Since then, we’ve grown from seed sellers to turf legends. Today, our lawn and garden center in Omaha still runs on that same pride, offering premium seed, sod, straw bales, and advice worth taking home.

Learn a Bit About Our History

Grass Pad began on a 700-acre sod farm with no frills—just great grass and a simple plan. Uncle’s Idiot Proof Lawn Care Program turned heads, and word spread fast. Decades later (60+ years), we’re still growing strong with 6 locations, dirty shoes, and grass always on our minds.
