If your lawn in Colorado looks sparse and lackluster, overseeding is the best way to revitalize its appearance and thicken it up. This service involves spreading grass seeds on your existing lawn to fill in bare or patchy areas with new grass growth. When determining how much grass seed to use for overseeding, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. The amount of grass seeds to use when overseeding depends on various factors, like the size of your lawn and the type of grass. It's also important to remember that you must only use half the normal seeding rate. To ensure overseeding is done right for your turf, hire professionals to handle the job!

The amount of grass seed you should use when overseeding depends on your lawn's size and grass type.

Grass seeds on a patchy area of a lawn in Grand Junction, CO.

The size of your lawn is one of the most important factors to consider when determining how much grass seed you should use when overseeding. Larger lawns will need more grass seeds, while smaller ones won't need as much. More grass seeds will also be used in large areas that are thin and patchy. Using the right amount of grass seeds according to your lawn's size ensures even growth, creating a more pleasing and lush appearance.

Not only that, but different grass types require different seeding rates, too. For instance, tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass have different seeding requirements, so you'll need to know which one you're using to ensure you provide enough to cover the entire area.

The seeding rate when overseeding should be half of what it normally is when starting a new lawn.

When overseeding your lawn, the seeding rate should be half of what it normally is when starting a new lawn. After all, you're not trying to establish a brand new lawn from scratch but rather filling in bare and patchy areas. This means you won't need as many grass seeds. Using too many grass seeds can result in overcrowding. Plus, a lighter seeding rate also ensures the grass seeds can get proper contact with the soil, boosting their chances of germinating properly.

Make sure you provide the right amount of grass seed when overseeding your lawn, as too much or too little can hinder the results.
