Overseeding Services for Bloomington, IN

A lush, green lawn starts with healthy, dense grass.

Over time, lawns can experience wear and tear from foot traffic, weather events, and even pet activity. This can lead to thin areas, bare patches, and an overall less attractive appearance.

Overseeding is the process of spreading additional grass seed over your existing lawn to address these concerns and achieve a thicker, healthier, and more resilient green haven.

Our Overseeding Options

When we aerate your lawn in the fall, we also overseed the grass. Regularly spreading new grass seed is key to maintaining a lawn that looks its best.

We have a few options available for seeding, they are the following:



Slit-Seeding

This machine method uses special equipment with rows of blades that go into the soil, making openings to make sure seeds touch the soil just right.

Besides helping seeds grow better, this way of planting is great for lawns that don’t have much grass or have uneven spots.



Broadcast Overseeding

After we aerate the lawn, we use special spreaders to evenly spread grass seeds in the aerated area. Rain or watering helps break up the soil plugs, making sure the seeds touch the soil well.

This type of overseeding is good for lawns that already have a lot of grass and are thick. Doing this every year helps keep the lawn lively and strong.



Dormant Seeding

Wells Lawn Care also offers the option of dormant seeding. This method, we spread grass seeds on lawns that are resting during the winter. The seeds settle into the soil as it thaws in the spring.

Dormant seeding is a smart way to get your lawn ready for the next growing season. It helps the seeds start growing early and encourages the lawn to bloom in the spring.
