BRIGHTEN YOUR LAWN WITH OVERSEEDING

Overseeding is the process of seeding an established or partially established turf. Over time, grass can become tired and worn out. The best way to perk up your lawn is by adding some new seed. To do this, Natural Beauty Lawn Care provides overseeding services. 

Why Overseed Your Lawn?

To determine if your lawn should be overseeded there are a couple of factors to consider. How is the overall health of the lawn? Does your lawn have a lot of bare spots? Is your lawn sparse in sections? These are all good reasons to overseed.

Additionally, there are many benefits to overseeding, including:
  • Increased water uptake by the soil
  • Improved fertilizer uptake
  • Decreased water runoff & puddling
  • Oxygenated root zone
  • Stronger root systems
  • Brighter/greener lawn
  • Increased drought and heat stress
  • Improved resiliency and cushioning

Overseeding Lawn Process

The best way to overseed your lawn is broadcast seeding after core lawn aeration. When the seed is spread after aeration, it falls into the holes and germinates. Natural Beauty Lawn Care offers both slit seeding and broadcast spreading after lawn aeration. We can determine which process will be best for your lawn.

When is the Best Time to Overseed?

The best time to overseed, hands down, is in late summer or early fall. At this time of the year, we are starting to see more rain, and temperatures are becoming cooler and better for grass to grow. Looking ahead, the grass will be entering a period of dormancy in the winter months, which is less stressful for the grass than the heat and drought of summer. Additionally, no weed-preventing Pre-Emergent products are being applied at this time of the year, allowing for better grass germination and growth.

Overseeding After Lawn Aeration

Overseeding immediately after core aeration dramatically increases the germination rate of the seed. So instead of broadcasting seed on an established turf and hoping the seed will germinate, carrying out this process after aeration will cause the seed to fall into the holes in the turf where it will have adequate seed to soil contact for germination.

Seeding after aeration is another reason to aerate in the fall. Seed has a much better chance of becoming established at this time of year and In the fall, it will germinate, mature and then become dormant - compared to seeding in the spring when the seed will germinate, mature and then will endure the heat and drought stress of the summer causing the new growth to die.
