Overseeding – also known as reseeding – is the application of new seed to your existing lawn, replenishing the old grass and filling in bare patches to produce a thicker, healthier lawn.

 

Not only does it improve the appearance of your lawn, it also improves the quality with more attractive seed varieties that can help reduce the severity of both disease and moss infestation as well as offering protection against hard wear and tear.

 

For best results, you would normally overseed in conjunction with either scarification or aeration during the spring or early autumn months when there is still enough moisture in the ground. Following these processes, the lawn will be at its thinnest, but the well-ventilated soil will be accompanied by a nutrient-rich layer of top dressing to encourage better seed germination for a greener, lusher lawn.
