A thick, lush lawn takes more than regular mowing and watering. That’s because as your grass ages, it begins to break down and wear out. But at Lawn Doctor of South Bend-Granger-Mishawaka-Elkhart, we know with lawn seeding, you can build up turf density and boost your lawn’s natural resistance to weeds and insects. That being said, there are a variety of lawn seeding techniques to choose from in the South Bend area. Here’s a look at the most common ones, so you can choose the method that’s right for your lawn:
Overseeding. The process of overseeding simply involves planting grass seed directly into your existi
ng turf – typically with a lawn spreader – all without damaging the turf or soil. Overseeding can be an easy way to revive a damaged lawn or one that’s wearing out or thinning. However, this technique is best used in established lawns, not when trying to plant a new one.
Power Seeding. Lawn seeding with a machine is called power seeding. This approach introduces new grass seed quickly into both big and small areas of your lawn. It can be used whether you’re looking to plant a new lawn, or whether you want to bu
ild up the density of your existing turf. Either way, this approach generally cultivates the soil first, leading to good seed-to-soil contact and higher rates of germination.
Aeration Seeding. If your lawn experiences heavy foot traffic, or if you’re noticing standing puddles of water that aren’t getting absorbed, your soil may be compressed. That’s where aeration comes in. It’s simply the process of removing small plugs of soil to cut down on compaction. This opens up your lawn to more oxygen, nutrients and water – and provides more favorable conditions in which to plant fresh seed.
