Overseeding is the process of spreading grass seed over an existing lawn without turning over the soil.
Overseeding is important to maintain a healthy lawn. Some of the key benefits of overseeding include:
1. Maintains turf density and enhances grass density by preventing weeds and improving overall appearance.
2. Overseeding fills in any bare spots in your lawn which enhances the uniformity and color.
3. Overseeding improves disease resistance of your lawn.
4. When overseeding, the soil stays in tact so there is no damage to the existing grass.
In Ohio, the best time to overseed is in the fall, between September and October. This allows the new grass seed to germinate and mature before temperatures get too cold.
