Overseed/Dethatch

Why Overseed?

Overseeding when needed will improve a lawn significantly and make it much harder for weeds to become established. Grass needs to be revitalized every few years or when there has been a drought situation in the area. Overseeding compensates for that natural slow down of the turf’s reproduction. There are two major benefits to overseeding: (1) you ensure your lawn stays thick and dense (2) it helps create disease resistance.

Why Dethatch?

Direct Benefits of Overseeding

Overseeding is an easy way to:

Fill in bare spots
Improve the density & color of turf
Establish improved grass varieties
Help the lawn stand up to tough conditions
Reduce the amount of fertilizer, water and pesticides required

Thatch can keep water and air from reaching the soil. If left untreated, it can create an environment that borbors pests and diseases. Dethatching however, removes those layers of dead grass, roots and debris matted between the soil and growing grass. It helps keep grass greener and healthier while minimizing the chance of disease.
