The trick to having an enviable lawn all year long is performing proactive care — and part of a proper lawn care process is regularly having your yard aerated and overseeded to keep your turf thriving.
Overseeding is the process of planting grass seed directly into existing turf to fill in bare spots and revitalize lawns that show signs of stress after warm and dry summers. With overseeding services, you can also improve your lawn’s density, establish healthier grass varieties and enhance the color of your grass.

We’re a full-service lawn care and maintenance company helping local Northwest Indiana homeowners keep their landscape looking pristine with comprehensive, proven overseeding solutions to maintain the health and vitality of your turf.
Reasons to Overseed Your Lawn
Every homeowner wants vibrant and lush grass. But with blazing summer temperatures and frequent foot traffic from children and pets, maintaining the condition of your lawn can be tough. With overseeding, you can easily improve the appearance and vigor of your lawn while also having:
- Healthier, Thicker Grass: Newer grass types are specially developed with modern homeowners’ needs and expectations in mind. Older grasses can often be more susceptible to insect damage and disease. With new grass blends woven into the established grass of your lawn, you can experience improved resistance against disease, drought, heavy traffic, insects and prolonged shade exposure.
- Improved Curb Appeal: A thriving green lawn is much more attractive and inviting than areas with balding patches or noticeable damage caused by weeds, pests and pets.
- Cost and Time Savings: Overseeding is faster and less expensive than removing old turf and replacing it with newer grasses. By placing more resilient grasses that are resistant to insects and disease, you can also save money on fertilizer, pesticides and water used to maintain the health of your lawn.
Best Time to Overseed in Indiana
The best time to consider overseeding your lawn in Northwestern Indiana is during the fall, when the area experiences warm days and cooler evenings. This is the ideal environment for encouraging new grass growth. Weeds and crabgrass are also less likely to grow and impact the health of the new grass. These conditions allow the new seedlings to thrive without potential harm caused by harsh conditions or invading species.
By having your lawn overseeded in the early fall, you’ll also give the new grass seedlings enough time to germinate before the winter months.
