Benefits of overseeding your lawn
Overseeding allows new grass varieties to be introduced to a lawn to resist diseases and insect attacks. Similarly, as a lawn thickens with the new seed growth, it will also be better suited to crowd out weeds. Best of all, new plant growth and subsequent thickening of the lawn will provide you with an aesthetically pleasing property.
- Reduce Erosion
Grasses have compact, fibrous root systems that do an exceptional job of binding together. A densely planted, overseeded lawn ensures soil and water stay where you want them to, right at the root zone, reducing run-off and soil loss. This improves the overall health of your lawn because it can hold onto nutrients and moisture needed to thrive. - Improve Appearance
Fill in brown, balding patches and areas damaged by pets and pests by planting a fresh batch of seeds. A densely planted lawn, no matter the size, is immediately more inviting. Not only is it pleasing to the eye, it feels fabulous underfoot. - Increase Thickness
If a thick carpet of lawn is what you’re after, overseeding can do this too. A well-timed dose of seeds and the right amount of water will transform a thinning lawn into a plush stretch of green. It immediately becomes more durable, withstanding foot traffic and playing, as well as holding up to natural stress.
