Spring/Summer Overseeding Service
At JC Lawnscaping LLC, we offer a variety of lawn maintenance services to keep your grass healthy and looking great all season long. One of our most popular services is Spring/Summer Overseeding Service, which is designed to help fill in thin or patchy areas of your lawn, resulting in a thicker, healthier lawn.
What is overseeding?
Overseeding is the process of adding new grass seed to an existing lawn to improve its thickness and overall health. This service is especially beneficial for lawns that have thin or patchy areas, as it helps to fill in those areas and create a lush, green lawn.
When is the best time to have overseeding done?
The best time to have overseeding done is typically in the spring or fall when the weather is mild, and there is adequate moisture for the grass seed to germinate. At JC Lawnscaping LLC, we recommend having overseeding done in conjunction with our core aeration service for the best results. This allows the grass seed to have direct contact with the soil and promotes healthy root growth.
Over time, lawns can become thin or patchy due to a variety of factors such as heavy foot traffic, disease, pests, or drought. Overseeding helps to improve the density of your lawn, making it more resistant to weeds, pests, and disease. Additionally, a thicker lawn helps to prevent soil erosion and improves the overall aesthetic of your property.
How is overseeding completed?
First, we will assess the condition of your lawn and determine the appropriate seed blend to use based on factors such as soil type, sunlight exposure, and foot traffic. Then, we will prepare the lawn by mowing it to a short height and removing any debris. Next, we will use a specialized machine to evenly distribute the grass seed over the lawn. After the seed has been applied, we will water the lawn to promote germination and growth.
Equipment used for overseeding:
- Lawn mower
- Slit seeder
- Fertilizer spreader
