It sounds easy enough. However, there are several different lawn seeding techniques you can use. As a result, at Lawn Doctor of Clarksville, we know it can be hard to determine which seeding method is right for you. To help you decide, here&#8217;s a look at some of the\u00a0most common ones.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Aeration and Overseeding<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Overseeding\u00a0is the most common way to plant new seed into your lawn. This technique relies on a lawn spreader to introduce grass seed without penetrating the existing turf. If you only have small problem spots or minor issues, overseeding can\u00a0be used to encourage new grass to grow in your lawn, improving turf density and color in the process. However, it&#8217;s only recommended for established lawns, not to plant a new one.<\/p>\n<p>At\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Clarksville, we know that if you have compacted soil or heavy thatch build-up, then a combination of aeration and lawn seeding is the best solution. This process relies on aerating your lawn first \u2013 before overseeding \u2013 by removing small plugs of soil throughout it. This opens up your lawn so it can breathe and take in more nutrients and water. Seeds therefore have more favorable conditions in which to grow and thrive. The combination of aeration\u00a0and overseeding is the method we recommend for our clients in the Clarksville area.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Slit Seeding\u00a0Lawns<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Slit seeding sounds like what it is. This technique\u00a0uses a machine with vertical blades to slice through thatch and open up furrows into the soil. Grass seed is then planted into these trenches. However, since slit seeding actually cuts into the lawn, it can cause damage to the root system in the process. At\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Clarksville, we do\u00a0not perform this technique\u00a0and we\u00a0don&#8217;t recommend slit seeding to our customers in the Clarksville area.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Power Seeding<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Power seeding relies on specialized equipment to turn up the soil first in order to achieve proper seed-to-soil contact.\u00a0Better seed-to-soil contact means a higher germination rate and more new grass growing in your lawn. Not only that, but power seeding doesn&#8217;t damage existing turf in the process and it eliminates the need to apply straw.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why Lawn Doctor of Clarksville\u00a0for Professional Lawn\u00a0Seeding?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Homeowners\u00a0trust us because we have the in-depth knowledge and specialized equipment to deliver the best lawn seeding results.
