How WeedPro Handles Overseeding

At Weed Pro, we do more than just spread the seed. We prep your lawn with core aeration or dethatch it if needed to ensure your grass seed makes proper seed to soil contact. Then, we use the right type of grass seed—like tall fescue or Kentucky bluegrass—depending on your yard and climate. Finally, we guide you through watering, mowing, and fertilizer schedules to make sure that new seed doesn’t just sprout—it thrives.
We even encourage customers to get a soil test because knowing your soil test results helps us choose the best lawn products, whether it’s a starter fertilizer, organic compost, or simply adjusting the pH. The goal? To get new grass growing strong, healthy, and ready to stand up to kids, pets, and even that neighbor with lawn envy.

Signs You Need to Overseed Your Lawn

If your lawn is thinning, fading, or filled with patchy areas, it might be time to overseed your lawn. Warm-season lawns like Bermuda or Zoysia slow down in cooler months, while cool-season grasses like fescue may suffer in the heat—either way, a refresh helps. Overseeding also makes sense after drought, insect damage, or heavy summer wear and tear. When your grass starts looking tired, overseeding gives it the boost it needs.

FAQ – Lawn Overseeding Services

The best time to overseed is in early fall or late summer, when soil temperatures are still warm, but the air is cooling down. This gives your new seed the perfect chance to germinate and establish before winter sets in.
You'll want to mow your lawn short, rake to remove any debris or thatch, and possibly aerate or dethatch for better access to the soil. We also recommend doing a soil test so we can customize your fertilizer and seeding plan.
Absolutely! When done properly, you can seed over an existing lawn and still keep the existing grass intact. The key is to work the seed into the top layer of soil using a lawn spreader and keep the soil moist for strong germination.
You'll want to water lightly twice a day to keep the soil moist during the seed germination phase. Once your new lawn starts to emerge, reduce watering frequency but increase the depth to encourage deeper roots.
Yes, timing is everything! Wait until your new grass reaches about 3 inches before you cut your grass, and always use a sharp blade. Don't bag your clippings right away—let them fertilize naturally and return nutrients to the lawn.
Definitely, a quality starter fertilizer provides the boost your grass seed needs during germination. It delivers essential nutrients without overwhelming the tender new grass seed.
Hold off! Wait at least 4–6 weeks—or until you've mowed the overseeded area a couple of times—before applying any herbicide. Otherwise, you risk killing your tender new grass before it has a chance to take hold.
The right grass species depends on your current lawn, sunlight exposure, and climate. We often recommend tall fescue seed for Georgia lawns due to its durability and heat tolerance, but Kentucky bluegrass is a great choice for northern zones or shady spots.
That depends on your lawn's size and how thin the turf is. Our technicians calculate the appropriate amount of grass seed product per square foot, ensuring you don't under—or over—put down seed.
It's best to keep foot traffic to a minimum for the first couple of weeks after overseeding. Walking on freshly seeded areas can disrupt seed to soil contact and slow down germination. If you must walk across, use stepping stones or boards to minimize pressure.
Most grass seeds begin to germinate within 7 to 14 days, but full coverage can take 6 to 10 weeks, depending on the grass species, weather, and care. Consistent watering and proper mowing will help your new lawn fill in faster.
Yes, adding a thin layer of compost or soil helps retain moisture and protects the new seed. It also improves soil moisture levels and provides extra nutrients for stronger grass development. Just make sure not to smother the seed.
They might snack on a few, but a properly raked and moist surface discourages most birds from feasting. Using a top dress or lightly pressing the seed into the soil with a roller can also help prevent seed loss.
Skipping overseeding allows your lawn to thin out over time, opening the door for weeds, bare spots, and dead grass patches. Regular overseeding keeps your turf dense, competitive, and vibrant year after year. It's a low-effort, high-impact part of good lawn maintenance.
A lawn spreader ensures that your grass seed is applied evenly across the yard. Spreading by hand often leads to patchy growth or over-seeding of some areas. Using the right tool helps maximize coverage and ensures consistent germination.
Yes, overseeding can indirectly reduce lawn diseases and pests by promoting a thicker, more resilient turf. A dense lawn leaves less room for weeds and pests to invade, and newer grass varieties are often more disease-resistant than older ones.
