"Mike is amazing. He came by to give my husband and me an estimate and, a few days later, he was over to install our irrigation system at a very reasonable rate. He arrived right on time, both times. He was highly professional and knowledgeable, sharing his expertise by offering invaluable advice for our backyard project. He was a pleasure to do business with, and we highly recommend his services. Thank you, Tobyn and Nathalie! :)"

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Overseeding typically involves spreading grass seed either manually or with a machine that sprays the grass seed out and onto the soil. With overseeding, the grass seeds sit on the soil, and some may fall deeper into the soil if you aerated beforehand. With power seeding, a machine cuts narrow rows into the soil and pushes the grass seeds directly into the soil.

Thorough soil preparation, spreading seeds evenly, and consistent watering are essential for successful grass establishment.

Spring or early fall presents ideal conditions—cooler temperatures with consistent rainfall support hydration and growth.

Adding seed to existing grass is often known as overseeding, as opposed to reseeding. Reseeding refers to the process of filling in bare or dying patches of lawn—or in some cases, full lawns—whereas reseeding supports existing lawns to prevent thinning. Overseeding is an ideal annual lawn care practice for grass fighting drought, disease, weeds, or pest issues.

This depends on the type of grass seed, as some types do better in different environmental conditions. Cool-season grasses go dormant during the summer months when the soil temperature exceeds 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Once exposed to regular doses of heat, the germination rates decline, with seedling death not far behind. 

As for warm-season seeds, they come from tropical parts of the world and thrive in heat. They actively grow in warm air temperatures between 70 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and they prefer soil temperatures between 65 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Once temperatures dip and frost rolls in, if you don’t store them properly, warm-season grass seeds will die quickly.
