Lawn Overseeding:
Overseeding is an overlooked activity in American home lawn care. Homeowners assume, incorrectly, that fertilizer is all that is needed to keep a turf thick and free of weeds.
Grass gets tired. It needs to be revitalized every few years.
Overseeding Keeps Lawn Thick And Weed-Free
Overseeding is one of the most important lawn care tasks, yet few homeowners ever do it. So, you ask, "If I fertilize my lawn properly, why do I need to add new seed, especially if my grass looks pretty good right now?" The answer is that grass is not immortal.
After five or six years, grass plants will slow down their reproduction rates; they get tired just like we do as we age. Thin grass invites weeds.
Overseeding compensates for that natural slow down of the turf's reproduction.
There are two major benefits to overseeding every three or four years. First, you insure your lawn stays thick and dense, or if it has thinned, you will make it thick again.
Thick grass has few if any weeds if it is mowed over 2 inches tall.
The second benefit is disease resistance. The new varieties of seed you sow this year will have better disease resistance than those varieties already in your lawn.
For most, simple de-thatching and overseeding should produce the results you desire.
We are more than willing to give you an assessment and estimate, free of charge, and help your lawn look its absolute best!!
