Overseeding a lawn in spring is one of the quickest and easiest ways to help grass recover from winter damage, heavy foot traffic, or lawn diseases – and there are six simple steps to follow for success. As temperatures start to rise in March and April, grass begins actively growing again, making this the ideal moment to repair bare patches and thicken thin areas with fresh seed.
Extreme cold and prolonged wet conditions can be equally damaging to grass over winter, particularly if your yard sees plenty of use. Even with the best possible lawn care, it’s common for grass to emerge from the colder, wetter months with patchy growth and areas of dead turf.
