Improve Lawn Quality with Overseeding Services
Preparing the existing lawn by aerating and mowing low creates optimal conditions for seed germination and growth.
Seed is evenly distributed across the lawn, ensuring consistent coverage and reducing bare spots.
Watering and maintenance help establish the new grass and promote healthy growth.
Statistics indicate that overseeding can increase a lawn’s density by up to 30-50%, significantly reducing weed invasion and enhancing resistance to pests. The process typically takes between two to four hours for a professional, depending on the size and condition of the lawn. Proper timing, usually during cooler months or early spring, ensures optimal seed germination and growth. Using high-quality seed varieties suited to local conditions can further improve results.
The Overseeding Process
The overseeding process begins with lawn preparation, including aeration to loosen compacted soil and mowing to a shorter height. This allows seeds to reach the soil surface more effectively. Next, the seed is evenly spread using specialized equipment, followed by light raking to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Consistent watering is critical during the germination phase, typically lasting several weeks. Additional fertilization and weed control may be recommended to support healthy turf development.
