Power seeding is the process of inserting grass seed into the soil with minimal damage to your current healthy grass. Our power seeding equipment is designed to penetrate the dirt surface to give the grass seed maximum soil to seed contact. Increasing the germination rate of the seed.
Power Seeding vs. Over Seeding
The question we get asked about the most is what is better, power seeding or over seeding? In our experience, power seeding is the best option when you are trying fill in dead grass spots in your yard. Over seeding is simply broadcasting grass seed on top of your current mature lawn. This is not the most precise way to seed your yard. Simply placing the grass seed onto your current yard doesn’t give the seed a proper place to germinate. While you might get some germination, the best way to increase germination is power seeding.
Power seeding, also called slit seeding, creates a seed bed for the seed to germinate. Think of a power seeder as a garden tiller. It keeps your current grass intact but roughs up the dirt. The dirt bed and rough surface keep the seed protected and retain moisture to help in germination. When you are ready to fix those grass less spots in your yard, give Lambs Lawn Service & Landscaping a call.
