Overseeding Your Lawn Can Help You Avoid Costly Lawn Renovation
Is the grass legitimately greener on your neighbour's side? The solution to a thick, lush, green lawn might be overseeding.
Lawn health isn't just about colour and appearance – it's about thickness and durability.
A healthy and full lawn naturally crowds out potential weeds by stealing their light, water, and nutrients.
Thick and healthy turf is always the best defence against lawn diseases and unwanted pests.
Overseeding can help you create a lawn that can stand up to drought conditions, extreme heat, and even foot traffic.
Lawn seeding is also a great way to prevent soil erosion by keeping your existing soil covered in healthy grass.
Overseeding is the process of spreading new grass seed across your existing lawn to fill in bare or thin areas. It introduces newer, stronger seed varieties that improve your lawn’s colour, thickness, and resistance to disease, drought, and pests.
The process often introduces newer, superior grass varieties, leading to a lawn that is more resistant to:
Overseeding grass is something you can attempt on your own. However, it can be labour-intensive, and DIYers often struggle to achieve the results they’re looking for. For the best results (without the headaches or frustration), consider bringing in the professionals!
At Weed Man, we like to overseed grass in combination with our aeration service, which allows the seed to fall into the aeration holes and germinate, resulting in a thicker, healthier lawn.
With proper watering and care, you’ll typically notice germination within 1-2 weeks. Full results can be seen in 4-8 weeks, depending on grass type and weather conditions.
Yes, but combining overseeding with aeration delivers much better results. Aeration opens the soil, allowing seed-to-soil contact, better germination, and deeper root growth.
Overseeding is a cost-effective way to repair and thicken your lawn without the expense of sod. While sod gives instant coverage, overseeding gradually rejuvenates your turf at a fraction of the cost.
Yes. A thicker, denser lawn naturally crowds out weeds by blocking the sunlight, water, and nutrients they need to grow. Overseeding is one of the best natural weed prevention strategies.
Most lawns benefit from overseeding every year. The right schedule depends on your lawn’s condition, soil health, and overall maintenance program.
The best time to overseed is in the spring or fall when temperatures are cool, rainfall is more frequent, and the soil is moist. Soil temperatures must be above 13 ̊C in order for the seed to germinate.
You will also want to prepare the soil. This is crucial for seed germination:
This is my first year using a lawn service company for my weeds. I was skeptical at first but whatever they did to my lawn worked. The advice they gave me about what I could do to help keep the lawn looking great from watering to length of cut really helped. I had several people comment on how great it looked. I called in a few times with questions about my lawn care. By far the best customer service people I've dealt with in a long time. Great people. Highly recommend.

This team is great. What appears to be a quick come and gone application, is from experience and a good eye. The moss control and fertilizer application has greatly improved the rich green colour. The aeration and overseeding has filled in those mole hills from last year's damage. Tegjot has requested a second weed control spray to get that pesky buttercup under control. Nearly 20 year of neglect is a work in progress, but already looks so much better.. Thank you.

They provide timely updates on upcoming and completed services. A great company for lawn care.
