- What Is Overseeding? Overseeding is the process of putting grass seed over an existing lawn to improve density, color, and health. Unlike starting from scratch, this method works with your existing grass to fill in gaps and fortify it against weeds, pests, and disease.
- What Are the Benefits of Overseeding? Overseeding can improve the appearance of your lawn by creating a consistent and brilliant green color. It also offers weed control, as dense grass prevents weed development by limiting the space accessible to growth. Also, introducing a new grass species can boost your lawn’s tolerance to drought, disease, and high foot traffic.
- What Time of Year Is Best for Overseeding? Overseeing success requires precise timing. Our team will assess your lawn to determine the best plan, then provide you with options, ensuring you have the details needed to make an informed decision.
- What Is the Overseeding Process? There are several steps to the overseeding process, from mowing to aerating the lawn to spreading the seed. Speaking of that, choosing the right variety of seed is essential to ensure the best results. Additionally, proper care is needed after the process is completed, such as avoiding traffic on the lawn for a few days.
