Premium Lawns Overseeding
Tall fescue is a cool-season grass that performs well in semi-shaded or sunny areas. However, with the hot, dry Oklahoma summers and turf diseases like brown patch, fescue can thin out or even die during the summer. To maintain a thick, healthy lawn, fall overseeding is necessary to introduce new grass plants and keep your turf looking its best.
Because fescue is a bunch-type grass, it does not spread through runners or underground roots like bermudagrass and zoysiagrass. Once fescue is lost, new seedlings must be introduced. Overseeding is a cost-effective alternative to sodding, but it requires proper watering and care to ensure seed germination and healthy growth.
At Premium Lawns, we believe that properly executed overseeding produces a superior turf compared to sodding.
Our Seeding Process
Our overseeding process includes several key steps to ensure successful seed germination and establishment:
Core Aeration or Double Aeration – We aerate the soil to improve seed-to-soil contact, promoting better water absorption. In some cases, we use a slit-seeder to slice the seed directly into the soil.
Custom-Blended Seed – We apply a high-quality custom-blended seed selected for durability and performance.
Starter Fertilizer Application – We apply a starter fertilizer to encourage rapid germination and strong root development.
Raking Bare Areas – We ensure proper seed coverage by raking bare areas for optimal growth.
Watering Instructions – We provide detailed watering guidelines that must be followed carefully to achieve the best results.
Follow-Up Overseeding – About three weeks after the initial treatment, we return to overseed any thin areas for even coverage.
Pricing
Our pricing varies based on factors such as the size of the area, turf condition, and the specific seeding process needed. We customize our overseeding approach to ensure the best results for your lawn.
