Overseeding to Fill In Bare Spots and Boost Density

May is one of the best times of the year to overseed your lawn. As soil temperatures rise and rainfall becomes more consistent, conditions are perfect for seed germination and early root development. Overseeding is the process of spreading new grass seed over existing turf to thicken the lawn, repair bare areas, and improve overall density. It’s particularly useful for lawns that experienced damage during winter or have thin patches from years of wear and tear. By introducing new grass varieties, you can also improve resistance to pests, disease, and drought.

At EverGreen Lawns, we pair overseeding with services like core aeration and light topdressing to maximize seed-to-soil contact and promote fast growth. We use high-quality seed blends tailored to Ohio’s climate and your lawn’s specific needs. Our team ensures even distribution, proper coverage, and gives you follow-up guidance on watering and mowing during the critical establishment period. The result is a lawn that’s not just thicker, but also more resilient and easier to maintain throughout the season.

Overseeding is also a great way to outcompete weeds naturally. A dense lawn leaves little room for invasive plants to take hold, reducing your need for chemical treatments later in the season. May is your window of opportunity—don’t wait until your lawn is struggling. Strengthen it now with expert overseeding and let EverGreen Lawns help you create a lush, green outdoor space that lasts all summer long.
