Why to Overseed Lawn?

To achieve even, healthy green grass, you can use a technique called overseeding. Overseeding is an easy way to fill in bare spots, thicken turf, improve your lawn's appearance, and enhance the lawn's ability to fight insects and diseases.

Why is overseeding important?

Overseeding introduces new grass seed to fill-in thin areas and thicken existing turf. Overseeding builds resistance to insect damage and turf disease. Aeration and overseeding reduces weeds which germinate in opportune weak areas so, a thick lawn is the best defense.

Does overseeding your lawn really work?

The experts all agree that regular overseeding is vital to help thicken your lawn and fill in bare spots, which reduces or eliminates competition from weeds. The reasoning is that young grass will produce new growth faster than older grass. After several years, mature plants begin to slow down their reproduction rate.
