About our Over Seeding


Over seeding is a vital technique in the maintenance of a vibrant and robust Winnipeg lawn. At Green Green Grass, we take a proactive approach to Winnipeg lawn care, prioritizing the achievement of a lush, healthy lawn through our comprehensive over-seeding program. By incorporating over-seeding into a comprehensive lawn care program that includes proper fertilization, watering, and weed control, homeowners can achieve a thick, healthy lawn that naturally suppresses weeds and maintains its vitality throughout the growing season. Over seeding serves as a proactive measure to promote a dense turf stand, reduce weed competition, and enhance the overall beauty and functionality of any lawn, contributing to a landscape that is both attractive and resilient against weed encroachment.

What does over seeding do?

In the context of weed control, our over seeding services plays a crucial role in crowding out weeds and preventing their growth. It involves the application of premium grass seed to enhance the density of your Winnipeg turf, thereby suppressing potential weed growth and fostering a thicker, more resilient lawn. By introducing new grass seed into your existing turf, over-seeding helps fill in bare patches, improve overall grass coverage, and rejuvenate tired or thinning lawns. When grass is thick and healthy, it creates a dense canopy that shades the soil and deprives weeds of sunlight and space to grow. By introducing new grass seed through over seeding, the lawn becomes more competitive, making it difficult for weeds to take hold and thrive. Additionally, the vigorous growth of newly seeded grass helps to choke out existing weeds by outcompeting them for resources like water, nutrients, and space.

Why add new grass seed?

Over-seeding also contributes to the overall health and resilience of the lawn. New grass seed fills in thin or damaged areas, providing coverage and protection to the soil surface. This helps prevent soil erosion, minimizes bare spots where weeds can establish, and creates a more uniform appearance across the lawn. Moreover, the introduction of fresh grass varieties through over-seeding can enhance the lawn’s genetic diversity, making it more adaptable to environmental stresses and less susceptible to weed infestations.

Over Seeding combined with Aeration

When combined with our core aeration services, the benefits of over-seeding are amplified. Core aeration creates small holes in the soil, allowing the grass seed to penetrate deeply and establish strong root systems. This enhances seed-to-soil contact, maximizing germination rates and ensuring optimal growth conditions for new grass.

5 Over Seeding Facts

  1. Enhanced Lawn Density: Over-seeding promotes the growth of new grass, resulting in a thicker and denser lawn.
  2. Weed Suppression: By filling in thin or bare spots, over-seeding helps to suppress weed growth by crowding out unwanted plants.
  3. Improved Lawn Health: Introducing new grass varieties through over-seeding enhances the overall health and resilience of the lawn.
  4. Prevention of Soil Erosion: Over-seeding helps to stabilize the soil surface, reducing the risk of erosion and sediment runoff.
  5. Optimal Seed-to-Soil Contact: Combining over-seeding with core aeration ensures optimal seed-to-soil contact, facilitating germination and seedling establishment.
