Overseeding Tips & Best Practices

• When is the Best Time to Overseed?
  • Early fall is the most effective time due to ideal soil temperatures and increased moisture.
  • Spring is also an option, but may require more frequent watering and care.
• How to Prepare for Overseeding
  • Mow your existing lawn short and remove any debris or dead grass.
  • Aerate the soil to allow better seed-to-soil contact and improve root penetration.
  • Choose the right seed mix based on sun/shade conditions and soil type.
• How to Apply Overseeding
  • Spread seed evenly across the lawn using a broadcast or drop spreader.
  • Rake lightly to ensure seeds settle into the soil surface.
  • Apply a starter fertilizer to encourage quick germination and root growth.
  • Water consistently – keep the soil moist until the new grass is established.
• Aftercare and Maintenance
  • Avoid heavy foot traffic on newly overseeded areas.
  • Gradually reduce watering once seedlings mature.
