Early April is a good time to seed or overseed fescue lawns. For the best results be sure and check the label on the bag for seed purity, germination rate and other crop content. A bag that only has an “other crop” listing of one half of one percent can put thousands of weed seed directly in your lawn. We sell only the best seed available, Gard’n-wise Premium Fescue Blend. It contains a mixture of the finest fescue for our area. To give yourself the best opportunity for the lawn you desire, choose the best grass seed possible.
When overseeding, good seed to soil contact is critical. Seed lying on the top of the ground has little chance of succeeding. Prepare your lawn for seeding by using a machine called a verticutter. It cuts shallow groves in the soil to create a seed bed for the new seed while leaving most of your existing grass.
