Professional Slit Seeding Services for a Full and Thick Lawn

You May Not Need Expensive Sod

Slit seeding may be a more affordable and simpler solution to problematic bare patches.

Faster Results

We can create the perfect environment for seeds to thrive. Amazing results in only a few weeks.

Perfect Distribution

Our machine-guided process ensures a precise distribution of seeds across your lawn, which ensures thick and even turf.

Higher Germination

Slit seeding gives you far more seed-to-soil contact than traditional overseeding.

Seed Protection

Sowing seeds below the surface protects them from being eaten by birds or being displaced by wind or rain.

Help Your Lawn Breathe

Our seeder's vertical blades help to break up the thatch layer, which is the buildup of dead grass that can suffocate your lawn.

What is Slit Seeding?

Slit seeding is a professional lawn service performed using special bladed machinery to create shallow, vertical slits in your lawn. These openings allow grass seed to:

  • Drop below the ground's surface
  • Maximize seed-to-soil contact
  • Improve germination

This can help fill in bare spots on your lawn, quickly and effectively.

How Can Slit Seeding Help My Lawn?

There are a number of benefits to investing in slit seeding:

  1. The process naturally fills in thin or bare patches at a fraction of the cost of laying sod.
  2. It rejuvenates your lawn the natural way, with no gimmicks or harsh products.
  3. A thick and healthy lawn today helps you fend off pests and diseases down the road.
How is Slit Seeding Different from Overseeding?

Overseeding simply spreads seed on top of the lawn, while slit seeding places seed directly into the soil. This contact helps improve germination rates, reduces seed loss, and creates more uniform results, especially on thin or compacted lawns.

How Long Does It Take to See Results?

You’ll start to see new grass within 10–14 days under good conditions. Full thickening usually takes several weeks, depending on watering, weather, and follow-up care.

Do I Need to Water After Slit Seeding?

Yes! Consistent watering is critical for germination. Weed Man provides post-service watering guidelines to help ensure your new seedlings grow strong and healthy.

If you have bare patches that you want to fill with thick, green, and healthy turf, you can start by finding the local Weed Man in your area today!

I've been with Weed Man for 2 years or more and man they have been very helpful. Being a working mom and having 50 million things to do and one of them is not having to worry about my lawn because I know Weed Man will take care of it. I was always trying to find new ingredients to help with the weeds in my lawn and how time consuming it was, now I just wait for Weed Man to put me on their schedule. The price to me is reasonable for the service they provide.

Weed Man Billings, MT

The Weed Man has successfully eradicated an enormous number of weeds in my backyard with their initial treatment. I have found the Weed Man to be exceptionally responsive to any requests that I have made. The service is competent and very friendly. I highly recommend this company! Post Season follow-up: Throughout the season (It is now mid-September), the Weed Man technician, Damien, provided excellent service and was immediately responsive to all of my requests. If there were a couple of instances of a weed or two reappearing, he gladly stopped by to treat it. It has been a pleasure using Weed Man, and I absolutely recommend its services to anyone with a weed issue. I will continue to use Weed Man on an annual basis.
