Knowing when to mow a lawn after overseeding can be tricky and you run the risk of undoing all of your hard work if you get it wrong.
An essential part of lawn maintenance, overseeding is a sure-fire way to thicken up a sparse lawn and fill in bare patches, but it’s not without its dilemmas. Once the grass seed has successfully germinated and started to grow with vigour, deciding on when to time the first cut can prove a headache, especially if you are a green-fingered novice. The thought of undoing all your hard work and soil preparation can be enough to put you off mowing altogether, and leaving it too late can cause problems for the health of your lawn and mower too.
