What is Overseeding?

Overseeding is the practice of spreading grass seed directly over your existing lawn. Unlike reseeding (which involves starting from scratch), overseeding enhances your current turf by adding new grass plants among the established ones.

Lawns naturally thin over time due to foot traffic, disease, insects, drought, and normal aging. Overseeding replenishes your lawn with fresh, vigorous grass that fills gaps, thickens turf density, and introduces newer varieties with improved drought tolerance and disease resistance.

For best results, we strongly recommend combining overseeding with aeration. The holes created by aeration provide ideal conditions for seed germination, dramatically improving success rates compared to overseeding alone.

The Power Combo: Aeration + Overseeding

Our most popular service combines core aeration with overseeding for maximum lawn improvement. Aeration creates thousands of small holes that become perfect germination pockets for seed, while also improving soil conditions for both new and existing grass.

Better Seed Contact

Seeds fall into aeration holes where they have direct contact with soil - not just sitting on thatch.

Protection from Birds

Seeds in aeration holes are protected from birds and less likely to wash away with watering.

Improved Germination

The combination of seed-to-soil contact and improved soil conditions dramatically increases success rates.

Overseeding FAQs

Overseeding is the process of spreading grass seed over an existing lawn to fill in bare or thin areas, improve lawn density, and introduce newer, more disease-resistant grass varieties. It's one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate a tired lawn without starting over.
We exclusively use premium tier grass seed that is 100% weed seed-free and filler-free. Unlike big-box store seed that contains fillers and weed seeds, our seed is specifically selected for your lawn's existing grass species and growing conditions. This means better germination, more consistent color, and no unwanted weeds being introduced to your lawn.
1-Pass Overseeding is a single application at the optimal seeding rate - ideal for routine lawn thickening and maintenance. 2-Pass Overseeding provides double the seed coverage by making two complete passes, which is best for thin or damaged lawns that need maximum restoration.
The ideal time to overseed in Michigan is late summer to early fall (mid-August through mid-October). Soil temperatures are warm enough for germination, but air temperatures are cooling down, reducing stress on seedlings. There's also less weed competition in fall.
Yes! Aeration before overseeding significantly improves seed-to-soil contact, which is critical for germination. The holes created by aeration give seeds a protected place to germinate, and the improved soil conditions help new grass establish quickly. We recommend combining aeration with overseeding for the best results.
Grass seed typically germinates in 7-21 days depending on the variety. Kentucky bluegrass takes longer (14-21 days) while perennial ryegrass is faster (7-10 days). You'll see a noticeable improvement in lawn thickness within 4-6 weeks.
Keep the seeded areas consistently moist (not soaked) for the first 2-3 weeks. Water lightly 2-3 times per day if needed. Once grass is established (about 2 inches tall), gradually reduce watering frequency. Avoid mowing until new grass reaches 3-4 inches.
