Overseeding refers to the practice of sowing grass seed directly onto an existing lawn without removing the old turf. This process enhances lawn density, improves color, and introduces improved grass varieties that are more resistant to disease and environmental stresses. Consider, for instance, the difference between a sparse, patchy lawn and one that is thick and vibrant due to the introduction of new, resilient grass types.
A well-executed lawn rejuvenation strategy provides numerous advantages. It strengthens the turf’s ability to withstand foot traffic, helps choke out weeds by filling in bare spots, and contributes to a more visually appealing and healthy lawn. Historically, this method has been employed to maintain the quality of turfgrass in lawns, golf courses, and athletic fields, evolving with advancements in seed technology and soil science.
