Company Overview

Pro Time Lawn Seed was founded in 1979 in Portland, Oregon, and is one of North America’s pioneering seed companies specializing in low-input, low-maintenance ecological lawn mixes. Working closely with landscape architects, designers, and seed scientists, the company hand-selects the latest turfgrass varieties and combines them into mixes for residential, commercial, and public greenspaces. Pro Time holds Oregon WBE (Women Business Enterprise) and SBE (Small Business Enterprise) certifications, and every product is non-GMO and neonicotinoid-free.

Product Lines and Signature Mixes

The catalog spans seven categories: Eco-lawns & Meadows, Conventional Lawns, Pollinator, Habitat & Wildflowers, Natives – Pacific Northwest, Cover Crops & Pastures, Contractor Applications, and Tools & Extras. Signature blends include PT 301 Water Smarter (deep-rooted tall fescue for drought tolerance), PT 705 No Mow (low-grow meadow mix), PT 755 Fleur de Lawn (English daisies plus microclover), PT 767 Dog Park (wear-tolerant pet-friendly mix), PT 769 Rough & Ready (microclover all-purpose mix), and PT 313 Super Shade Supplement for heavily shaded sites.

Eco-Lawn Philosophy and Sustainability

An eco-lawn (ecology lawn) intentionally includes species beyond turfgrass, such as clovers, wildflowers, and other forbs. Clovers fix atmospheric nitrogen, feeding themselves and neighboring plants and removing the need for ongoing fertilizer applications. Once established, eco-lawns stay green through extended dry periods and outperform conventional turf on drought tolerance and disease resistance. Through yearly turf trials, Pro Time selects for drought tolerance, performance, compatibility, and aesthetics, supporting biodiversity via pollinator habitat and Pacific Northwest native seed lines.

Planting Guidance and Shipping

Both spring and fall are recommended planting windows; in much of California, November through January is ideal. During the 2-3 week germination period, keep the soil surface consistently moist, then shift to deep, infrequent watering (twice weekly or less, soaking at least 4 inches deep) to drive roots downward. Pro Time ships within the United States and Canada only and does not offer international shipping. Orders for the same mix are automatically consolidated into a single bag to minimize packaging unless noted at checkout, and tracking information is emailed once orders leave the warehouse.
