What Is Overseeding?

Overseeding means spreading new grass seed directly over your existing lawn, without tearing it up. It's the best way to fill in thin or patchy areas, improve density, and introduce newer grass varieties that are more drought-tolerant and disease-resistant.

Aurora lawns thin out over time from heat stress, heavy foot traffic, drought, and just natural aging. Overseeding every few years keeps your lawn dense enough to naturally fight off weeds and stay green through Colorado's tough summers.

Best Paired with Aeration

Overseeding after core aeration dramatically improves germination rates. The aeration holes give new seed direct soil contact instead of sitting on top of thatch. We recommend doing both services together in the fall for the best outcome.

How the Process Works

1
Mow Short

We mow the lawn down before seeding so seed can reach the soil instead of getting stuck in tall grass.

2
Aerate (Recommended)

Core aeration creates seed pockets and loosens the soil for better germination. Strongly recommended as a combo.

3
Spread Seed

We spread quality grass seed appropriate for Aurora's climate in multiple passes for even coverage.

4
Water Consistently

You'll water lightly 2-3 times daily for the first two to three weeks to keep the seedbed moist. We'll walk you through the schedule.

Overseeding Pricing

Pricing is based on your lawn's square footage. Most Aurora yards fall between $260 and $750 for overseeding alone. Aeration and overseeding combined is priced separately.

Overseeding FAQ

When is the best time to overseed in Aurora?

Late summer through early fall is the ideal window, roughly late August through early October. Soil is still warm enough for germination, and cooler air temps reduce heat stress on new seedlings. Fall also means less competition from weeds compared to spring.

How long before I see results?

New grass typically germinates in 10-21 days. You'll see green fuzz appearing across the lawn within two to three weeks if watered consistently. Full establishment takes about 6-8 weeks.

Can I mow after overseeding?

Wait until the new grass is at least 3-4 inches tall before mowing, usually 4-6 weeks after seeding. Mowing too early can pull seedlings out before they've rooted.
