It&#8217;s one small step that\u00a0can help you achieve a thicker, healthier lawn with stronger natural resistance to weeds, insects, diseases, and extreme weather conditions. But how can you tell your lawn needs overseeding? Look for these signs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You have an older home \u2013 with an older lawn that hasn&#8217;t ever been aerated or re-seeded.<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;re seeing brown patches scattered\u00a0around your yard.<\/li>\n<li>Grass is looking weak, limp, and ragged.<\/li>\n<li>Areas are starting to thin out, or you&#8217;re noticing bald spots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>When to Overseed<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Generally speaking, it&#8217;s best to perform overseeding in the Brentwood area\u00a0in the late summer or in early fall. When you do, you&#8217;re not exposing new seed to harsh summer temperatures and also giving new grass time to get established before winter\u00a0rolls around. Just make sure that, about a month before overseeding, you don&#8217;t\u00a0fertilize\u00a0your lawn. Fertilization can produce vigorous growth of your existing grass, which will\u00a0limit the ability for\u00a0new seeds to get established and thrive.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Consider Aeration First<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Overseeding can produce healthy, new growth. However, if your lawn experiences heavy foot traffic, or if you have clay soils, consider core aeration first. This not only breaks up soil compaction and thatch build-up, but also provides for better seed-to-soil contact. In addition, it enables more water, oxygen, nutrients, and sunlight to penetrate deep\u00a0into the root zone of older grasses, as well as new seedlings.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Learn More from the Brentwood\u00a0Area&#8217;s Experts in Overseeding<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At Lawn Doctor of SE New Hampshire, we&#8217;re the Brentwood area&#8217;s experts in overseeding\u00a0for a reason.
