If the grass on your property is patchy, missing grass in spots, or thinning in areas, you should consider having a service for lawn overseeding in Cedar Park, TX.
Your lawn care service will start off by scheduling an inspection and/or consultation with our knowledgeable sales and estimation team. Our team will examine your yard, focusing on the health and type of your grass, soil conditions, and the amount of shade to determine the best blend of grass seed, mix, and application method for your yard. This customized approach to turf care will help ensure the best results possible, strengthening its density, enhancing its overall appearance, and significantly improving your yard’s resilience to pests, diseases, and extreme weather conditions.
Depending on what we find, our experts may recommend additional services, such as a soil analysis used to determine the level of nutrients found in soil samples and/or a liquid lawn aeration application to break down soil in a way that increases beneficial microbial activity. These services will ensure robust grass growth and root establishment.
Once our inspection is completed, our team will create and send an estimate for the overseeding service. Once approved, we can schedule your service for lawn overseeding in Cedar Park, TX. While the service may differ depending on the condition of your yard, it would generally follow these steps:
- Soil Preparation: Our experienced team of turf experts will start the process by meticulously clearing the soil's surface of any weeds and/or debris, to ensure an immaculate foundation for the seed installation. They will spread nutrient rich topsoil to cover lawn areas that are being overseeded, including filling in any low spots. The new top soil is then raked to create a level lawn with ideal conditions for root development, including any needed soil amendments.
- Seeding Areas: Now that the soil is ready for seeding, our expert team will apply your customized seed mixture to your yard, with a focus on any problem sites. Our team then sows the seed with a spreader or a seeding machine, being careful not to broadcast or drop seed when wind velocity exceeds five mph. This will ensure an even distribution of grass seed. The grass seed is then gently raked into the soil to ensure optimal soil contact, appropriate seed depth, and successful germination. Finally, the seeds are watered into the ground gently.
- After Care: The new grass seed will take approximately one to two weeks to germinate and sprout, and three to four weeks to fully grow in. Our team will provide proper watering instructions, both verbal and written, for optimal results. Additionally, for the new grass seed to take root and grow adequately, the turf area will need to be kept clear for the growing period with minimal to no foot traffic. If the turf is used, it will severely stunt or stop the growth of new seed.
Proper care during this period will help ensure that the seeds have the best environment possible to establish themselves and grow into a thick luxurious lawn. At the end of the process, your outdoor space should have a nice carpet of thick, green grass. Our lawn care professionals can answer any questions you may have about the preparation, application, and care process for lawn overseeding in Cedar Park, TX.
