At DreamLawn, we’re your locally owned and operated seeding specialists. We take lawn seeding very seriously and are driven to give you the best looking lawn all year long. If you want a thick, healthy lawn, you have to start with the best grass seed. Seeding performed annually in the late summer or early fall can produce consistent & reliable results.
Three Steps to a Successful Seeding
-
Choose Quality Seed
Choosing quality grass seed is essential for establishing a thriving lawn, as lower-quality seeds often contain weed seeds. Even .01% can introduce thousands of unwanted varieties of seed into your lawn. Set yourself up for success by selecting a premium blend that suits your environment.
-
Proper Seed to Soil Contact
Establishing proper seed-to-soil contact is vital for successful germination. Using an aerator can significantly enhance this process by creating small holes in the soil, allowing new seedlings to break through the thatch layer and take root effectively. By properly preparing your soil, your seeds will have an easier time establishing roots and thriving as it grows!
-
Don't Forget to Water!
Don’t forget this rule: if the seed dries out, it won't survive. Water is vital for germination, so aim for light, frequent watering several times a day. This method keeps the seed consistently moist without the risk of washing it away, which can happen with heavy watering. Be cautious, as overwatering can also suffocate the seed.

Additional Information on Aeration & Overseeding Services

Aerating pulls small plugs of soil from your lawn allowing food and water to reach the roots and giving them more room to grow. It also helps break up thatch that collects just above the surface of the ground and hinders food and water absorption while promoting fungus and disease. By breaking up the thatch and the tangled roots underground, the grass can establish a healthier root system. Aeration is a great weapon in your lawn care arsenal. It strengthens the roots, and strong roots are the first step in creating a lush, green lawn. Better root development means better tolerance to heat and drought.

Many people don’t realize it, but most grass seed contains weeds. Sounds crazy, but it’s true. The next time you’re at the store, read the labels. It will tell you the percentage of “weed seed” and “other crop” contained in the bag. Even a small percentage of seeds in these categories can mean hundreds of weeds in your yard. At DreamLawn, we only use the best seed when we seed your lawn. We use Blue Tag certified premium seed that states 0% weed seed and 0% other crop. Our whole goal is to give you a healthy, weed-free lawn and starting with any weeds at all is just not acceptable.

Once we’ve got the right start, it’s easy to maintain a healthy and beautiful lawn year-round.

But when you start with a healthy, strong foundation, including the best grass seed and lawn seeding techniques, you’ll have a lawn you can be proud of.
