The majority of grass seed will germinate within 10 to 14 days, but occasionally it might take up to 30 days. When you put new grass seed in your yard, it might appear to take an eternity for it to sprout.

How Long Does Grass Seed Take to Germinate? (7-21 days)

Even if you cannot see them, foot and car traffic can harm or kill them. Young grass sprouts are also highly sensitive to injury or uprooting when walked on or mowed.
