Why not go DIY with seeding your lawn?
It’s a fair question. And a tempting idea.
After all, it seems simple: toss some seed across your yard and let nature take care of the rest. We get the appeal.
But here’s the truth—it’s not quite that easy.
You need to consider aeration
You need proper seed-to-soil contact for germination
And getting your hands on high-quality seed isn’t always easy—or cheap
And let’s be real—if terms like aeration and germination aren’t in your daily vocabulary, you might end up with seed that just… sits there. Until the birds get to it.
Then you’re right back where you started.
Long story short? Professionals handle lawn seeding best.
They’ve got the equipment to properly aerate your soil, ensuring nutrients get where they need to go—and your grass grows as thick, lush, and green as possible.
Which means it’s time to….
Why should I overseed my lawn? Is it good idea?
It might sound like overseeding is bad for your lawn—but in reality, it’s not.
Overseeding simply means spreading grass seed over an existing lawn with one clear goal: to thicken your turf.
Why thicken it?
Because even the healthiest lawns can thin out over time—thanks to heat, drought, foot traffic, and other environmental stressors.
When that happens, overseeding gives your lawn a boost. New blades grow in between the older, weaker ones, helping restore a fuller, greener look. It’s a quick, affordable way to revive your yard—without tearing it up and starting over.
So how do you overseed a lawn?
Start by mowing your lawn short, then bag the clippings
Rake the area to loosen the top layer of soil and remove any debris or dead grass
This gives your seed direct access to the soil so it can germinate effectively
Done right, overseeding helps you maintain a lush, vibrant lawn year after year.
What is reseeding? How is overseeding different?
Reseeding is a complete lawn renovation whereas overseeding is simply thickening up your lawn with added grass.
Is there a way to fix thin or bare spots?
No need to overseed here! Just remove the dead grass in bare spots, loosen up the soil, liberally apply seedlings, and water deeply.
How long does it take grass seed to go bad?
Grass seed stores in a cool, dry place will last for two to three years. But the longer it sits, the less seedlings will grow!
