When your lawn gets sick, it isn’t pretty. While issues such as bald spots and yellowing grass can have a range of causes, there is one solution that can help to combat each one: overseeding. But if you’re like most Wayne area homeowners, you might not even know what overseeding is, let alone how it can benefit your lawn. At Lawn Doctor of Wayne and Northern New Jersey, we have the answers – and break them down for you below.
Overseeding Defined
If you live in an older home, with an older lawn, then the grass types established there are likely more susceptible to insect infestations and disease. This, in turn, requires more fertilization and water. Yet, over time, patches of your lawn can still grow thin or spotty despite your best efforts. That’s where overseeding comes in. It’s simply the process of planting new seeds to fill in areas where the grass is weak or the growth inconsistent.
However, if your lawn is also suffering from soil compaction, thatch build-up, and nutrient deficiencies, then Lawn Doctor of Wayne and Northern New Jersey knows it’s important to combine overseeding with additional solutions, such as aeration and fertilization. No matter how much grass seed is applied, if your lawn isn’t getting the oxygen or nutrients it needs, it’s not going to thrive.
How Overseeding Can Improve Your Lawn
Overseeding from Lawn Doctor of Wayne and Northern New Jersey is an easy way to:
- Fill in spots that look bare
- Boost turf density
- Establish higher quality varieties of grass in your lawn
- Improve your lawn’s overall color and appearance
So if your lawn is looking ragged, worn, weak and thin – regardless of how much water or fertilizer you apply – then overseeding can certainly be part of the solution. Likewise, if weeds are taking over, or if you’ve noticed insect infestations, then overseeding can help there, too.
