If you want a thick, lush lawn, then part of your lawn care routine should be seeding. This is especially true for an older lawn. As your grass ages, it breaks down and thins out. Fresh seed, on the other hand, reinvigorates it with healthy new growth. But with many different methods to choose from, which is right for your lawn? Lawn Doctor of Chattanooga breaks down several common lawn seeding techniques for you below.
Overseeding. Overseeding is simply the process of planting new seed over existing turf. Typically, a spreader is used during the process. It’s a good strategy to use if your lawn is thinning out, or if you have bare spots in areas of your existing turf. However, it’s not the best approach for establishing a new lawn.
Power Seeding. Power seeding uses a machine to perform the lawn seeding process. With it, seeds are planted right into the soil in either small or large areas. As a result, seeds make direct contact with the soil and are better able to germinate and develop into new growth. This technique can be used whether you’re trying to thicken up an established lawn, or to plant a new one.
Aeration Seeding. If you park vehicles on your lawn regularly, or if your yard sees heavy foot traffic, the soil will become compressed over time and actually suffocate grass roots. The good news is that you can open up your lawn by aerating it. This process involves removing small plugs of soil and grass from throughout the lawn, so that more air, nutrients and fertilizer can reach roots. When lawn seeding is performed right after, this approach provides more favorable conditions for new grass seed to take root and get established.
