Lawn seeding might sound complex. But it’s simply the practice of spreading grass seed over your lawn. That said, as local Brentwood area lawn care experts, Lawn Doctor of SE New Hampshire knows there are many different techniques that can be used in the process. Which one is right for your lawn? Here are a few options to consider:
Overseeding. Overseeding is the most basic approach to lawn seeding for homeowners in the Brentwood area. With it, a lawn spreader distributes grass seed into your existing turf. If you have areas that need spot seeding, or you want to thicken up your lawn in general, this is the simplest way to do it. However, this method is not recommended to plant a new lawn, only for established lawns.
Power Seeding. Power seeding is the next level of lawn seeding. With it, a machine actually cultivates, or prepares the soil first, with the seed mixed right into the soil. This provides better seed-to-soil contact, which means new seeds have a higher rate of germination. In addition, you can use this method on existing lawns, as well as to plant a new lawn. When performed properly – such as with Lawn Doctor of SE New Hampshire’s exclusive Turf Tamer® equipment – your existing turf isn’t damaged during the process.
Aeration Seeding. Aeration seeding adds one step to the power seeding process – aerating the soil first. If your soil is compacted, or if you have a heavy layer of thatch on the surface, then this is the recommended method. Aeration simply cores out plugs of soil and thatch from around your lawn, breaking up compaction and thatch build up. When new seed is planted, it’s into more favorable conditions as a result.
