Slice Seeding & Overseeding

Slice Seeding

Slice seeding is one the most efficient methods of introducing seed to soil contact. This process of seeding allows a greater germination rate over the standard overseeding methods. No tilling is required. No mess or mud. Slice seeding works well to fill in a thin lawn or start a new lawn from scratch. The machine slices the ground and deposits the seed directly into the soil at ¼" to ½" deep, and 1" apart. This method is recommended for:

• Introducing a new species of grass to existing turf
• Complete lawn renovation
• New lawn establishment
• Thicken lawns

OVERSEEDING

Overseeding is a process where grass seed is dispersed evenly over thinning parts of the lawn or over the entire lawn to thicken it. It is a cost efficient method of slice seeding, but it is not as effective because the seeds are not sewn into the soil. Our technicians will direct you, based on their lawn assessment, to determine what is most beneficial for your lawn's situation.

Some of the questions we look at while assessing a lawn's condition are:

1. What is the soil type?
2. Is the soil compacted?
3. What is the grade of your lawn (i.e. hilly or low areas)?
4. What are the expectations of the customer?
5. What is the budget for lawn care?
