Even well-maintained lawns develop thin patches over time — from heavy traffic, drought, disease, or just the natural aging of older grass varieties. Overseeding introduces fresh, improved seed varieties into your existing lawn without tearing it up. When done correctly in combination with aeration, it is the single most cost-effective way to transform a thin lawn into a thick, resilient one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Late August to mid-September is ideal. Cool temperatures and consistent moisture help germination while summer weeds slow down.
New grass germinates in 7–21 days depending on seed type and weather. You'll see a visibly thicker lawn within 4–6 weeks.
Not required, but strongly recommended. Aeration dramatically improves seed-to-soil contact, increasing germination rates significantly.
Keep the seeded area lightly moist for the first 3 weeks — 2 light waterings per day if there's no rain. Avoid heavy watering that washes seed away.
