Did you know that grass gets old? As the plant ages new growth is slowed, new plants are slower to spread. Grass has a peak lifespan of about five or six years, so even if you have a thick healthy lawn now after a short time you’ll begin to see patches and bare spots appear. New growth doesn’t spread to fill in the gaps and weeds are allowed to take root.
It’s time to overseed.
Overseeding gives your lawn a youthful upgrade without the expense and hassle of replacing the existing lawn. Younger plants spread into the gaps preventing weeds and keeping your lawn young and thick. Once weeds take root, it’s a lot more work to uproot them and then plant new seed. Why not overseed consistently to stop weeds in their tracks.
There are a few key questions you should find the answers to before choosing what kind of grass seed to buy. A number of popular varieties are available that deal with cool wet climates and acidic soil.
