Power Seeding A Lawn

While seeding and sodding are great ways to start a new lawn, they require several hours of labor, and the success rate isn't guaranteed. Power seeding is a more convenient and successful way of germinating a new or existing lawn. Once you've identified any potential lawn problems such as poor soil, pest, and diseases, you should take the proper measures to fix and prevent these problems before power seeding.

Power seeding uses a machine that combines vertical mowing with seeding. When the slit seeder moves across your garden, it opens up the soil and plants the seed directly into the opening to make sure that it is properly embedded. Some power seeders even have a roller that levels the soil afterwards to ensure that the seed makes firm contact with the soil. With power seeding, successful germination is almost guaranteed. Power seeding is not just a good way to start your lawn, it's also an efficient way to renovate your existing lawn because it doesn't uproot existing grass. It's an effective method of filling in large, bare spots on your lawn that didn't successfully grow any grass via manual sowing.

The best thing about power seeding is that the seed distribution is more even than when you sow the seed by hand. As in regular seeding, you should consume half the amount of seed when your power seeder covers the width of your lawn, and the other half when it covers the length. This helps your grass grow more uniformly.

Before having a professional come by to power seed your lawn, make sure to do a background check on the company via word-of-mouth or the Better Business Bureau. Ask for an estimate after they visit and check your lawn. These companies usually recommend that you start power seeding in late August, September, or early October for optimal results.
