Why Fall is the Best Time to Overseed Your Lawn

If you want a lush green lawn next spring, the steps you take this fall are vital. In addition to grub control and winter fertilization, overseeding your lawn this fall will set your lawn up for success in the spring. In this Healthy Lawns segment, Dr. Jim Wilkinson explains why fall is the ideal season to overseed your lawn.


Did you know that fall is the ideal season to overseed your lawn? Here’s why:

🌙 Perfect Growing Conditions: Cooler nights and warm soil create the best environment for seed germination.

🌱 Less Competition: Crabgrass and other summer weeds are fading out, giving your new grass room to thrive.

🚫 Fewer Weeds: Weed seeds aren’t germinating as actively, so your new seedlings face less competition.

Overseed Now for a Healthier, Greener Lawn Next Spring

Fall overseeding helps your lawn recover from summer stress and prepares it to look lush and vibrant when spring arrives.
