Lawn Overseeding Services

Annual Overseeding services involves closed-hollow tines that penetrate the soil and remove the soil core at the turf surface. Is it the single most important management tool for controlling soil compaction and thatch, allowing for increased root growth within holes, and shoot growth atop holes. It also improves the lawn’s response to fertilizer and decreases the risk of turf disease. We offer this service in late summer and fall.

Mechanical aeration is the best option for the management of thatch. Thatch is a layer of dead and living plant tissue lying between the grass and the root system and the soil below. Thatch accumulation blocks air, water, and nutrients from seeping into the root system. A thick layer of thatch also decreases the lawn’s response to fertilizer and promotes disease and insect infestation in the lawn. The formation of thatch over time is inevitable. Be sure to rake leaves in the fall to prevent further thatch build-up and again in the spring.

 

This service also plays a significant role in managing soil compaction. Soil Compaction occurs when soil particles are pressed together, reducing pore space between them. Compacted soil has a reduced rate of both water infiltration and drainage, creating a decline in root growth and shoot growth in the turf, and often leaves the lawn with bare areas. This may occur as a result of a high-traffic area on the lawn, such as children and dogs playing, from workers on your property for home improvement, etc.

 

Caring for New Seed:

  • Water 10 min. per zone, 2X per day.
  • Do not allow the soil to dry while the seed is germinating.
  • Do not overwater during the 3-week germination period. This wastes water and creates unfavorable soil conditions.
  • Keep traffic, including children and pets, off the lawn as much as possible until the new grass begins to mature.
  • In bare areas, begin mowing the new grass when it reaches 3“ tall. Always mow at a height of 3”.
  • Allow a minimum of 21 days for the seed to develop.
  • Our fertilization applications will also aid with the grass development during this time.
