Just like people, lawns age. That means, over time, the grass deteriorates and starts to break down. If your lawn is starting to look sparse or thin in areas, or you have bald patches, it may be time for seeding. But with so many techniques to choose from, how can you determine which is right for you? As local Wayne area lawn seeding experts, Lawn Doctor of Havertown, Lansdale, Boyertown, Tredyffrin breaks a few of them down for you below.
Different Lawn Seeding Options
Overseeding. Overseeding is just what it sounds like. It’s the process of planting new seeds into an existing lawn. Typically, with this method, you use a lawn spreader throughout your lawn to distribute seeds. It is best suited for established lawns, not if you’re trying to plant a new lawn or overseeding a thin lawn in bad shape.
Power Seeding. This method of seeding adds some power to the seeding process. Using our specialized equipment, power seeding cultivates the soil first and then ensures the right amount of seed is evenly distributed. You could say it’s overseeding 2.0. This technique can be used with existing lawns, as well as if you’re trying to establish a new one. As local Wayne area lawn seeding experts, we know from experience it’s the best method for achieving a thick, healthy lawn.
Aeration and Overseeding. Aeration and overseeding is important if your soil is compacted and has a heavy layer of thatch over it. The aeration process actually cores out small plugs of soil and grass. This breaks down both compaction and thatch and causes more nutrients, oxygen and water to penetrate the soil. It also creates more favorable conditions in which new seed can germinate and grow. Seed is then put down with a spreader.
