Common Questions About Lawn Seeding Maintenance

What is overseeding -- and why and how should I do it?
Overseeding isn’t harmful to your lawn—it’s actually a helpful way to thicken existing grass by spreading new seed over an established yard. It’s commonly used when heat, drought, or other conditions cause the lawn to become thin or weak over time, helping restore a fuller, healthier appearance without starting over. To overseed properly, you typically mow the lawn short, bag the clippings, and rake the surface to loosen the top layer and remove debris so the seed can make better contact with the soil and grow more effectively.

What is reseeding and how is that different from overseeding?
Reseeding is a more intensive process that involves starting over or significantly rebuilding a lawn, often used when large areas are bare, damaged, or in poor condition. Overseeding, on the other hand, is a lighter maintenance method that simply adds new grass seed to an existing lawn to help thicken it and improve overall density and appearance. While reseeding is about restoring a lawn from the ground up, overseeding focuses on enhancing and filling in what is already there to maintain a healthier, fuller look.

How do I get rid of thin or bare spots?
No overseeding is necessary in this case—just a simple repair approach will do the job. Start by removing any dead grass from the bare areas, then loosen the soil so the seed can properly take hold. After that, spread the seedlings evenly over the prepared spots and water them thoroughly to encourage strong, healthy germination and growth.

How long does grass seed last before it goes bad?
Grass seed stored in a cool, dry place can typically remain viable for about two to three years. However, as time passes, its germination rate gradually decreases, meaning fewer seeds will successfully sprout and grow. For the best results, it’s always recommended to use fresher seed when possible to ensure stronger and more consistent lawn growth.
