Seeding & Scalping
Unlike seeding, which occurs when grass seed is laid on a properly prepared, bare soil surface, over-seeding is applying grass seeds to an existing lawn. Over-seeding helps to revive a worn or thin lawn as well as fill in bare spots. Over-seeding is also known to crowd-out weeds by thickening the lawn, therefore giving the lawn a greener, lusher and more weed-free appearance. Lastly, enhancing your lawn through over-seeding also helps it to tolerate and resist heat and drought in the dryer seasons.
THE 3 IMPORTANT STEPS TO SUCCESSFUL OVER-SEEDING
1) Preparation
2) Seed
3) Water
SCALPING
As in all good things, preparation is key. Before over-seeding your lawn, you should mow your lawn at the lowest setting and bag the clippings. This process, known as ‘scalping’, will allow the seed to come into direct contact with the soil when you spread the seed. Having the lawn mowed as short as possible, then bagged and hauled away also allows for the new seed to get better contact with the ground and receive more sunglight to help it germinate. This is a time-intensive process as the proper removal of the grass clippings is crucial to the regrowth process.
