Tips to overseed a lawn
If the weather, pets, or other factors make your lawn looking sad, it is time to reinvigorate it by overseeding. Some tips for success:
- the best overseeding time is spring or fall, as cool temperature and rains help you
- before overseeding, mow your lawn shorter than usually and remove the clippings to allow the seeds get on the soil
- rake the bare or thin areas vigorously to loosen the soil and to remove debris
- for thickening up purposes, apply at half the recommended rate
- for patching up purposes, apply at the full the recommended rate
- apply a thin layer of topsoil on patched up areas
- keep the area moist by frequent light watering until the seed is established
- depending on the grass species, under ideal growing conditions, some seeds will germinate one week, while others will take four weeks
