So What Is Overseeding Anyhow?

Overseeding simply means spreading seed into a current lawn to increase the number of grass plants over your turf area. It does not require that we dig up your existing lawn.

We need to or have you mow the current grass very short, I generally suggest 2” or less, the lower the better, once completed we sow the new seed right in amongst the stubble of the existing live grass plants. They act as a mulch to hold the seed in place. As the new seed germinates and grows, sprouts fill in thin spots and bare areas of the lawn, denying weeds an opportunity to return and take over you can generally expect to see the new grass seed within 10 days, ensure that we apply organic fertilizer at the same time.It takes only really takes two days to see the difference.

Optional steps such as Organic aerating product and our Dethatch are important at this step. Follow-up watering is required and ensure you water in the early morning for best results. Overseeding is not an expensive process, it is quick and the results are very noticeable.

Why Overseed?

Overseeding has never been a very common lawn care practice by homeowners, however professional turf managers routinely overseed their athletic fields and golf courses almost every year. Although your lawn may not get the workout that golf courses, parks and athletic fields do, it can benefit enormously from overseeding.

A Few Of The Advantages of overseeding are:

• Overseeded lawns look greener and are denser.
• Thicker turf discourages the germination of weed seeds.
• Modern grass varieties add increased resistance to disease.
• Newly sown grass revives a lawn of tired grass.
• Diversity of grass varieties makes a healthier lawn.
