Overseeding
What is Overseeding?
At its core, overseeding is the process of adding new grass seed to an existing lawn. Unlike starting a new lawn from scratch, overseeding works with your current grass, introducing new growth that fills in bare spots and strengthens the existing turf. Think of it as a boost for your lawn, revitalizing it and making it more resilient.
Want a Lush, Weed-Free Lawn? Full Overseeding is Key!
When it comes to overseeding your lawn, don't settle for spot treatments or sparse seed coverage. At Simply Grounds, we believe in the power of full-lawn overseeding because that's what it takes to make a real difference. We use a generous amount of uncoated seed, which means you get twice the actual seed count compared to coated varieties that are often padded with unnecessary weight and fillers. Coatings don't help where it matters – germination. Our program already provides the essential nutrients, so all you need is water to see great results.
By fully overseeding, you're creating a thicker, denser lawn that naturally resists weeds and crabgrass. We use certified seed with stronger cultivars of grass that are biologically enhanced with endophytes and boast improved growth characteristics suited for our climate. This results in a lawn that is not only greener and more vibrant but also more resistant to insects and disease. Overseeding also helps repair ‘small’ bare spots and reduces the impact of previous damage. With Simply Grounds full-lawn overseeding, you'll enjoy a healthier, thicker lawn with fewer weeds, sooner!
Overseeding effectively addresses these common lawn issues:
Revives Worn and Thin Lawns:
Over time, grass can become thin and patchy due to wear and tear. Overseeding introduces new, strong grass plants, creating a more full and dense lawn.
Fills in Bare Spots:
Unsightly bare areas not only spoil the aesthetics of your lawn but also become breeding grounds for weeds. Overseeding helps establish grass in these gaps.
Crowds Out Weeds:
By thickening your existing lawn, you make it more difficult for weeds to take hold, reducing your reliance on herbicides.
Improves Heat and Drought Tolerance:
Introducing newer, improved grass varieties through overseeding can enhance your lawn's ability to withstand harsh weather conditions.
Strengthens Your Lawn for Heavy Usage:
A thicker, stronger lawn can better tolerate the wear and tear from pets, children, and everyday activities.
Don't settle for a lackluster lawn. Overseeding offers a practical and effective solution to upgrade your outdoor space.
Want to level up your results? Don't forget the magic of aeration! Doing it at the same times is a game-changer.
How Often Should You Aerate?
Clay Soil:
Aerate at least once a year due to its tendency to compact more easily.
Sandy Soil:
Aerate once a year or every other year, as this soil type tends to be less prone to compaction.
All Other Soil Types:
Aerate once a year, or alternate years, to maintain optimal lawn health.
Dry Climates:
Consider aerating twice a year to enhance lawn performance and combat the effects of dry conditions.
