Here in Iowa, your lawn will likely face a variety of stressors throughout the year, which can drag down the health and appearance of your grass. To help your lawn get back on its feet, you should schedule an overseeding service. Overseeding can help fill in any bare or patchy areas on your lawn so that it will look its best. What's more, because overseeding will help create a strong and thick lawn, your lawn will be better equipped to withstand stressors like weeds, insects, lawn diseases, and more. You should schedule this service in the fall because a thick lawn will be better able to survive the winter season.

Over the course of the year, your lawn will likely face challenges such as lawn diseases, insect infestations, drought, and more. These challenges can lead to your lawn being damaged, which could result in bare or patchy areas forming on your lawn. If your lawn has been damaged in any way, you will want to help it recover. That's where overseeding comes in. Overseeding is the process of spreading grass seeds across your lawn. As these seeds grow, they will fill in any bare or patchy areas on your lawn with new, healthy grass and your lawn will look great again!

Another reason to schedule an overseeding service is that it will make your lawn stronger and thicker. This is important because a strong, thick lawn will be better equipped to withstand various stressors. When you thicken your turf by overseeding it, it will be better able to resist various lawn diseases and insect infestations. What's more, a thick lawn will also be able to crowd out weeds, so you won't have to deal with as many weeds taking residence in your lawn.

Scheduling an overseeding service in the fall will help prepare your lawn for the winter.

One of the biggest reasons to schedule an overseeding service in the fall is that it will help prepare your lawn for the upcoming winter season. The winters here in Iowa can be freezing, and a thin lawn will have trouble surviving the winter season. However, when you overseed your lawn in the fall, you will have a strong, thick lawn that will be better equipped to withstand the winter. However, it's important that you schedule your overseeding service early enough in the fall so that the seeds will have enough time to establish themselves in your soil. If you wait too long to overseed your lawn, your grass might not be strong enough by the time winter rolls around and your lawn could be damaged during the winter.

For the best results, you should schedule an overseeding service directly after your lawn has been aerated to give the seeds excellent seed-to-soil contact!
