We’ll help you achieve the lush and vibrant lawn you’ve been dreaming of.
Overseeding services involve spreading grass seed over your existing lawn to promote new growth and fill in thin or bare areas. We’ll help you select the appropriate type of grass seed for the existing lawn and climate conditions and aerate the soil to allow for better seed germination. Next, we’ll carefully spread the seed evenly over the entire lawn to improve its overall health and appearance. This is also a great service for those looking to sell their home as it boosts curb appeal and can increase the value of your home.
Overseeding goes hand-in-hand with our other lawn care services such as:
We’ll start by mowing it short and removing any thatch or debris. This allows the seeds to come into direct contact with the soil, which is crucial for germination. After the lawn is prepared, the seeds are evenly spread over the entire area using a spreader or by hand.
Once the seeds are spread, it’s important to water the lawn daily to keep the soil moist and encourage germination. We may also recommend applying a light layer of mulch or straw to help retain moisture and protect the seeds from birds and other pests. Depending on the type of grass, it may take several weeks for the new grass to fully establish and fill in the lawn.
Once the new grass has established itself, it’s important to continue regular maintenance including mowing, fertilizing, and watering. This will help ensure a healthy and lush lawn throughout the growing season.
Overseeding your lawn has numerous benefits that can improve the overall health and appearance of your grass. One of the main advantages is that overseeding promotes thick and lush growth, which helps to fill in bare spots and prevent weeds from taking over. It can improve the density of your grass, making it more resistant to extreme weather conditions and pests. By introducing new grass varieties through overseeding, you can also enhance the overall aesthetic of your lawn with vibrant and diverse shades of green.
In Ontario, overseeding is typically recommended in early spring when the temperatures start to warm up and the ground is no longer frozen. This allows the new seed to germinate and establish itself before the heat of summer. Overseeding can also be done in the fall, but spring is often the preferred time as it gives the new grass more time to grow strong before winter. It’s also incredibly important to choose the right type of grass seed for your lawn and to properly prepare the soil before overseeding to ensure the best results.
