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.

Overseeding Benefits
Overseeding involves spreading additional grass seed over an existing lawn. This process is typically done to improve the density of the grass, enhance its appearance, and address issues such as bare patches or thinning areas.
Improved Grass Density & Appearance
Introducing new seed, filling in thin or bare areas promotes a fuller, denser lawn.
Additional seed contributes to a lush green appearance.
Different grass varieties can be selected for seasonal adaptability, ensuring the lawn remains green and healthy throughout the year.
Resistance & Resilience
A thicker lawn acts as a natural barrier, making weed growth difficult to grow.
Introducing diverse grass varieties aides in the lawn's resilience to diseases.
Overseeding helps lawns recover from environmental stressors, promoting a resilient turf.
An effective way to rejuvenate areas of the lawn that may be worn or damaged, contributing to more consistent and even growth.
Long-Term Savings
Overseeding is a proactive measure to maintain a healthy looking lawn.
Most commonly performed in the fall, as cooler temperatures and consistent moisture create favorable conditions for seeds to grow and make a strong foundation.
Well-maintained lawns may require less maintenance and resources over time, leading to the potential cost savings.
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.
