Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What’s the difference between reseeding and overseeding?

Reseeding usually refers to starting a new lawn from scratch using grass seed. Overseeding is the process of adding new seed to an existing lawn to fill in thin or bare patches or to introduce stronger grass varieties. Both methods help improve lawn density and appearance.

When is the best time to reseed in Denver?

Spring is the best time to reseed in Denver, once your sprinkler system is turned on and the soil is warm enough to support seed germination. Spring conditions give the new grass time to take root before the heat of summer.

How long does it take for new grass to grow?

It usually takes 4 to 6 weeks for new grass seed to fully establish. Regular watering and limiting foot traffic during this time will help the young grass grow in strong and healthy.

Do I need to aerate before reseeding?

Yes. Aerating before reseeding helps loosen compacted soil, which improves seed-to-soil contact and allows for better root development. This step increases the success of your reseeding.

Will reseeding help with bare spots and patchy grass?

Yes. Reseeding is one of the best ways to repair bare spots and thinning areas in your lawn. It helps create a fuller, healthier lawn that looks better and resists weeds more effectively.

What type of grass seed do you use?

The seed we use depends on the conditions of your lawn, such as whether the area is full sun, full shade, or a mix. Our arborist will assess your property and choose a premium seed blend that fits your yard and Denver’s climate.

Can reseeding fix a lawn with weeds?

Yes. Overseeding strengthens your lawn, and a thick, healthy lawn naturally helps prevent weeds. The best weed control is cultural control, which means keeping your turf dense and healthy so weeds don’t have room to grow.

How often should I reseed my lawn?

Some lawns may need overseeding every year, especially if there is a lot of shade or stress on the grass. Most lawns only need reseeding as needed, such as when bare spots appear or the lawn starts to thin.

Is reseeding safe for pets and kids?

Yes. Reseeding is safe for pets and children. However, we recommend keeping traffic off newly seeded areas for a couple of weeks to help the grass establish without disruption.

What if my lawn is too damaged for reseeding?

No lawn is too damaged for reseeding. We can overseed completely bare or dirt areas to restore growth and improve lawn health. Our method works even on lawns that look like they need a complete restart.
