Seattle Overseeding
Seattle’s lush, green lawns can quickly become a patchy mess due to the city’s unique climate, which includes wet winters and dry summers. Overseeding is a simple yet effective solution to rejuvenate your grass, filling in bare spots and enhancing the overall health of your lawn. By overseeding, not only will you boost your lawn’s curb appeal and safety, but you’ll also create a more eco-friendly and low-maintenance outdoor space.

- Seeding: Distributing high-quality grass seed evenly across the lawn.
- Topdressing: Applying a thin layer of compost or soil to protect the seeds and provide nutrients.
Key benefits:
- Appearance: A thicker, greener lawn enhances your property’s curb appeal.
- Durability: Overseeding strengthens your lawn, making it more resistant to pests, diseases, and drought.
- Safety: A healthy lawn reduces the risk of mudslides and erosion, providing a safe play area for children and pets.
- Eco-friendly: By improving your lawn’s health, you can reduce the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
