Lawn Repair/Overseeding

Overseeding involves revitalizing an old lawn without removing all the sod. Many old, thin, weed-infested home lawns are completely restored using this approach. Overseeding is most successful when more than half the existing lawn is still producing desirable turfgrass species. StrawNet can help! StrawNet is very easy to apply and is also very friendly to existing vegetation. It won’t choke out turf that is currently still producing shoots. First mow the existing vegetation as short as possible and then reseed with the desired turf seed. Then simply apply StrawNet pelletized straw mulch over the entire area that has been seeded without fear of destroying what is left in the lawn currently. Activate the mulch with irrigation and the process of revitalizing your lawn is underway.

StrawNet is also excellent to assist in filling those bare spots. Just uniformly apply a small amount of seed to the bare spots and sprinkle in some StrawNet pelletized mulch and either irrigate or wait for the rain to activate the mulch and begin seed germination. StrawNet is not as rate sensitive as other mulches tend to be so you can relax and not worry about applying too much mulch either. Higher rates generally tend to equal better results. StrawNet can be applied using a walk behind mulch spreader or simply by using your hands.
