When you plant grass seed over your existing lawn it’s called overseeding. The practice of overseeding is typically done to help lawns suffering from environmental stresses such as excess heat, rain, etc. In order to maximize your results, we recommend introducing new and improved varieties of turfgrass into your lawn. To this end, Black Beauty grass seed ensures success when you overseed. Bare spots will fill in more quickly and the hearty nature of the seed will yield the green, vibrant, and healthy lawn that you want.
The optimum time for overseeding your lawn is in late summer or early in the fall. Seeds tend to germinate better because temperatures are cooler, there is more natural rainfall, the soil is still warm, and weeds become less active. This timing also allows your seed to have a few weeks to germinate and get established before autumn leaves begin falling.
