Question 1

When is the best time to overseed in New Brunswick?

Accepted Answer

Late summer to early fall is the ideal time to overseed in our climate. Soil is still warm enough for germination, nights are cooler, and weed pressure is lower — giving new grass the best possible chance to establish. Spring is the second-best option, though it competes with weeds and summer heat.

Question 2

Does overseeding require special maintenance afterward?

Accepted Answer

Yes, regular watering and proper mowing are essential to ensure successful seed establishment.

Question 3

How is overseeding different from sodding?

Accepted Answer

Sodding lays down full rolls of mature grass over bare soil, while overseeding spreads seed across your existing lawn to thicken it up. Sodding is a full replacement and costs significantly more. Overseeding is a maintenance and improvement service — much more affordable, and ideal for lawns that are mostly healthy but need help filling in.

Question 4

How long until I see results from overseeding?

Accepted Answer

New grass typically begins germinating within 7 to 21 days, depending on conditions. You'll see visible improvement in 3 to 4 weeks, with full establishment taking a full growing season. Overseeding is a long-term investment in your lawn's health — the biggest improvements show up over time as new grass blends with existing turf.

Question 5

Should I aerate before overseeding?

Accepted Answer

Yes — aeration before overseeding dramatically improves results. The holes left by core aeration give the new seed direct access to soil, moisture, and nutrients, leading to much higher germination rates. Pairing aeration and overseeding in the same visit is one of the most effective lawn improvement services we offer.
