Lawn Seeding
FROM $45/ SERVICE VISIT + HST
Is your lawn looking thin and brown? Well, My Lawn Guy can help you get back to the thick, lush, green lawn you’ve always wanted and all you need to do is overseed. If you put down a layer of seed over your lawn in the spring or fall, the thin areas will thicken up, and your lawn will start to look terrific again. (This is different from reseeding, which is when you start over and plant a completely new lawn.)
When to Overseed
In the North, the best time to overseed your lawn is in the fall, when the soil is still warm but the air is cooler, and there are fewer weeds for new grass to compete against. Since your trees are starting to shed their leaves, there’s plenty of sunlight. Also, diseases that attack seedlings are less active. If you live in the North and are unable to overseed in the fall, your next best time is the spring.
Why Overseed?
Over time, grass gets old and needs to be replaced. Worn-out lawns invite weeds. Overseeding is a fast, inexpensive way to help bring your lawn back to its lush, green self without tearing everything out and starting over.
Thicken Your Lawn By Overseeding
Mow low. Before overseeding, you’ll want to cut your grass shorter than normal and bag the clippings. After mowing, rake the lawn to help loosen the top layer of soil and remove any dead grass and debris. This will give the grass seed easy access to the soil so it can root more easily after germinating. After over-seeding you will need to water your lawn on a daily routing, recommend by installer.
