Our Overseeding Plan
When overseeding, Lawn Buddies uses a premium three-way tall fescue blend applied at a rate of 7-8 pounds per thousand square feet. While the aeration service will loosen up your soil, this heavy application of premium turf seed will germinate into new healthy turf over the course of several weeks. This process helps suppress weeds and summer grass types like nutsedge and dallisgrass! This service comes with a Lawn Buddies guarantee!
What is lawn overseeding, and why is it important?
Lawn overseeding is the process of spreading grass seed over an existing lawn to improve its density, fill in bare spots, and enhance overall grass health. It’s especially important for lawns that have thin or patchy areas due to wear and tear, pests, or disease. Overseeding helps rejuvenate your lawn by introducing new, healthier grass varieties, making it more resilient to weather conditions, foot traffic, and other environmental stressors. It also improves the aesthetic of your yard, making it look fuller and more vibrant.
When is the best time to overseed my lawn?
The ideal time for overseeding depends on the type of grass you have. For cool-season grasses like fescue, ryegrass, or bluegrass, fall (early to mid-autumn) is the best time to overseed, as the soil is still warm enough for seed germination, and cooler temperatures promote healthy growth. For warm-season grasses like Bermuda or zoysia, late spring to early summer is the best time, when the soil has warmed up, allowing the seeds to establish and thrive. Overseeding at the right time ensures optimal growth and coverage.
How do I prepare my lawn for overseeding?
Preparing your lawn for overseeding involves a few key steps to ensure the seeds can establish properly. Start by mowing your lawn shorter than usual to allow better seed-to-soil contact. You may also want to aerate your lawn, which involves creating small holes in the soil to allow water, nutrients, and air to reach the roots and improve seed germination. If your lawn has a lot of thatch (a layer of dead grass and roots), you should dethatch it to create an environment that supports healthy seed growth. After aerating and dethatching, spread the grass seed evenly across the lawn, ensuring good coverage.
Can overseeding fix a lawn with severe weed problems?
While overseeding can improve the overall health and appearance of your lawn, it is not a cure for severe weed infestations. If your lawn has a significant weed problem, it’s best to address that first by using weed control treatments or manually removing weeds before overseeding. This will give your new grass the best chance to grow without competition from weeds. After addressing the weeds, overseeding can help thicken the grass and create a more robust lawn that is better equipped to resist future weed growth.
