What is Lawn Overseeding?
Overseeding is the process of spreading new grass seed over an existing lawn to improve thickness and fill in weak or bare areas.
This helps:
- Increase lawn density
- Improve color and appearance
- Fill in patchy or thin areas
- Strengthen resistance to weeds
- Promote healthier, more uniform growth
It’s one of the most effective ways to improve a lawn without starting over.
When Your Lawn Needs Overseeding
Overseeding is recommended if your lawn has:
- Thin or sparse grass
- Bare or patchy spots
- Faded or uneven color
- Signs of wear from traffic or weather
- Aging or declining turf
Most Seattle lawns benefit from overseeding once per year, especially in spring or fall.
Our Overseeding Process
We follow a proper process to ensure seed-to-soil contact and successful growth:
- Mow lawn low to prepare surface
- Dethatch if needed to remove buildup
- Core aeration to open soil
- Apply high-quality grass seed evenly
- Light topdressing for protection and moisture retention
We don’t just spread seed—we set it up to grow.
Recommended Add-Ons
For best results, overseeding is often combined with:
- Aeration to improve soil contact
- Compost or topdressing to boost germination
- Fertilization for stronger growth
- Lawn leveling for uneven areas
These additions significantly improve success rates and long-term results.
