What do customers ask about Lawn Overseeding?
Common questions and tips from our work with Washington customers.
What should I avoid after overseeding my lawn?
After overseeding, three habits decide how well new grass fills in. Keep the top quarter inch of soil moist through germination, keep people and pets off the seeded patches while seedlings establish, and hold off on any weed treatment until the young grass has matured, because herbicides that harm weeds can also injure tender seedlings. We set the first watering schedule with you before we leave.
When can I mow after overseeding?
Wait until the new grass stands about 3 inches tall before the first cut, which is usually three to four weeks after seeding. Use a sharp blade and never remove more than a third of the grass blade in one pass. Hold off on heavy foot traffic until the lawn has filled in.
What seed grows best in southern Utah lawns?
Tall fescue dominates yards in Washington, UT because its deep roots shrug off desert heat better than bluegrass, which struggles here without constant watering. Blends that pair several fescue varieties with a little ryegrass germinate quickly and fill in evenly. Matching new seed to what is already growing keeps color and texture consistent across the lawn.
How soon will my lawn look thicker after overseeding?
Germination shows within 7 to 14 days, but a lawn reads as noticeably thicker nearer four to six weeks, once new blades mature and begin tillering. Mild southern Utah falls help here, because seedlings keep growing into winter instead of stalling the way they would in a colder climate.
How much seed do I need for my yard?
The amount depends on your lawn's square footage, how thin the turf is, and the grass type. As a general rule, overseeding tall fescue takes about 5 to 8 pounds of seed per 1,000 square feet, and repairing bare ground runs heavier.
