Overseeding is the action of adding grass to your existing lawn. It involves planting grass seed into the existing lawn without tearing up or turning up the soil.

When is the Best Time to Overseed Your Lawn?
The best time to overseed your lawn will depend on your geographical location and the climate you experience. It will also depend on the type of grass you choose to introduce during the overseeding. In most parts of the northern part of the US, the best time to overseed your lawn is from mid-August to mid-September. During this time, the weather in these parts of the country is still warm. This will help to encourage the growth of the grass. However, the nights are cooler. This gives the seedlings some relief from the heat. You will have better results with reseeding if you do it within this period.
Spring is also a great time to overseed your lawn. The weather is getting warm and the soil is moist. This provides good conditions for the germination and growth of seedlings. The seedlings can grow and become established before the harsh summer heat sets in.

The following are the steps to take in overseeding your lawn.

• Preparation of the lawn

While overseeding does not involve turning of the current turf, you will have to prepare the lawn for introduction of the new seeds. Preparation is done to increase germination and ensure that seedlings can be established successfully. Preparation often includes cutting the grass to the lowest level and bagging the clippings. Removing the clippings after mowing allows for good contact between the seeds and encourages faster germination. You should also get rid of debris and thatch on the lawn by raking it clean.

• Selecting and spreading seed

It is important to choose the right seed for your lawn. Choose seed that will do well in your region and in the conditions in your yard. A professional lawn care company can help you identify the right seed for your lawn. A seed spreader will help to ensure even and faster distribution of the seed on your lawn. If your soil was compacted and you chose to aerate the soil prior to overseeding, you should choose a seed that spreads easily. A good choice for such a lawn would be bluegrass.

• Lawn maintenance

Once the overseeding is completed, you will need to maintain your lawn. The seeds should be watered immediately after spreading. You should water your lawn daily after overseeding until the seeds begin to germinate. This can take up to two weeks. You should then reduce the frequency and intensity of watering. While you were watering heavily in the first two weeks, the watering should become lighter. You can water every few days to keep the grass soaked in water. When the new grass is the same height as your existing lawn, you can proceed to provide care and maintenance suitable for the type of grass and your geographical location.
