Enhanced Lawn Density
Say goodbye to sparse patches and hello to a thick, luxurious lawn.
Improved Resistance
Dense grass naturally fights weeds and withstands pests and diseases better.
Seasonal Recovery
Helps your lawn recover quickly from heat, drought, and heavy foot traffic.
All Lawns Need New Seed
Many homeowners don’t realize that the grass in our lawns rarely has the chance to complete its natural lifecycle. Frequent mowing prevents grass from maturing and naturally reseeding itself, causing lawns to gradually thin out over time. Without regular overseeding, you’re relying on older grass plants to keep performing year after year—something they’re simply not designed to do.
Regular overseeding replenishes the lawn by introducing fresh, vigorous grass plants that restore density, improve durability, and maintain vibrant color. Think of overseeding as routine maintenance, like changing the oil in your car: it’s an essential step to keep your lawn running at peak performance season after season.
What Type of Grass Seed Do You Need?
Sunny Lawns
Kentucky Bluegrass is ideal for full sun areas. It forms a dense, carpet-like lawn with rich green color and excellent durability, making it perfect for high-traffic yards that get 6+ hours of sunlight daily.
Partial Shade
Perennial Ryegrass thrives in mixed light conditions—morning sun with afternoon shade or dappled light. It germinates quickly and handles foot traffic well, making it great for versatile, everyday use lawns.
Shady Lawns
Fine Fescue performs best in low-light conditions under trees or on the north side of homes. Its fine blades, drought tolerance, and low nutrient needs make it ideal for hard-to-grow shady spots.
How Much Grass Seed Do You Need?
Annual Maintenance
3 lbs per 1,000 sq ft
Grass can't reseed itself under normal mowing, so it's up to you to replenish it. Annual overseeding maintains thickness, color, and weed resistance by adding fresh seed each year.
The Sweet Spot
5 lbs per 1,000 sq ft
Perennial Ryegrass thrives in mixed light conditions—morning sun with afternoon shade or dappled light. It germinates quickly and handles foot traffic well, making it great for versatile, everyday use lawns.
Lawn Revival
7 lbs per 1,000 sq ft
When your lawn is struggling or looks beyond help, this is the solution. A full-volume overseed brings tired turf back to life by filling in bare spots, restoring coverage, and giving your yard a fresh start.
Maximize Your Overseeding Service:
Mow Low
Cut your lawn shorter than usual (around 2 inches) to help seeds reach the soil more easily. Bag clippings to keep the surface clean.
Aeration
Aeration creates small holes in the soil, allowing grass seed to settle in and root deeply—making your overseed far more effective.
Water Beforehand
Lightly water the lawn for 2–3 days before your scheduled service. This softens the soil and sets up ideal conditions for germination.
