Lawn Overseeding

Overseeding Lawn Services in Alberta: Vitality for Your Lawn

It takes work to create a thick and healthy lawn all season long, many people don’t know that overseeding a lawn is a part of that process. It is natural that grass thins out over time, with bare patches appearing and weeds showing up as an indication of age. Reseeding a grass lawn or overseeding a lawn becomes necessary to reinstate its healthy appearance. At Dr. Green, we provide expert overseeding services to much of Alberta, reseeding grass lawns that are tired to revive their lush and vital forms.

Overseeding a lawn is an effective and simple way to get the most out of your lawn and refresh its appearance. By spreading new seeds over existing grass that has become patchy or stressed, you provide the lawn with a fresh boost through minimal effort and expense compared to installing entirely new turf. Overseeding the grass can provide thicker coverage, stronger roots, and a lawn that is more likely to resist weeds, drought, and disease. More often than not, overseeding grass or reseeding a lawn will transform a struggling lawn into a picture perfect one that you are certain to be proud of.

The Benefits of Professional Overseeding

Professional overseeding is a worthy investment in your lawn that pays off in multiple ways. A denser lawn goes a long way in solving other problems, including naturally shading the soil thereby reducing weed growth and naturally retaining moisture. Thicker grass is also an indicator of stronger roots, allowing your lawn to recover more quickly from environmental factors like drought, heavy foot traffic, heat, and unpredictable seasonal changes. Strong roots also help to ensure that you won’t need an entire reseeding of your lawn in the future. Most importantly, your lawn simply looks fuller, more vibrant, and healthier, the way you want it to be. Trust our reseeding lawn service to save time and get results. With Dr. Green, you know the job has been done right by reseeding lawn experts.

FAQs

What is the difference between overseeding and reseeding?

Overseeding is a process that involves spreading grass seed over an existing lawn to thicken and strengthen it. Reseeding usually refers to starting fresh in bare or heavily damaged areas and is often used in spot treatments where the grass has been killed dead. Top soil overseeding combines overseeding with a top dressing of soil for better chance of success and long term growth. Each of these methods are designed to improve density and overall lawn health.

When should I overseed my lawn in Alberta?

The best time for overseeding grass in Alberta is mid May to late June, as this will be outside the window of any frost that would kill seedlings. June is also typically the wettest month of the season, so overseeding around this time will allow mother nature to help out in the watering. Late summer to early fall is a beneficial time for filling in any bare spots from summer drought or chinch bug damage. Warm soil and cooler air temperatures are ideal conditions for germination, giving any grass reseeding a solid chance of success.

Do I need to add topsoil before overseeding?

Top soil overseeding can be helpful, but not always necessary. Adding topsoil can help in thin or bare areas by providing new seeds with a nutrient-rich base. For many lawns, pairing grass reseeding and overseeding with liquid aeration can help to achieve the best results by creating better seed-to-soil contact.

Why use a professional overseeding company instead of doing it myself?

A professional overseeding service takes out much of the guess work in lawn care by ensuring the right seed mix, even distribution, and proper care instructions. Many DIY attempts struggle to take root because of uneven coverage or poor seed-to-soil contact. Hiring a professional overseeding company means getting the right tools and expertise to maximize germination and ensure your investment pays off with a healthier lawn.
