Lawn Overseeding in Arizona

With years of experience, we offer expert lawn overseeding and renovation, ensuring a beautiful lawn that stands the test of time.
WHAT IS LAWN OVERSEEDING?
Over time, even the healthiest grass can thin due to heavy foot traffic and environmental factors. Overseeding involves spreading grass seeds over your existing lawn, promoting thicker and healthier growth. Our overseeding process in Arizona uses top-quality seeds like perennial ryegrass, ideal for Arizona’s desert climate, to rejuvenate your lawn.
BENEFITS OF OVERSEEDING YOUR LAWN
Overseeding helps prevent thinning and maintains your lawn’s vigor and youthful appearance. For southern areas, overseeding with cool-season grasses keeps your lawn green through the winter, even when warm-season grasses go dormant. Using high-quality seeds like Pennington Perennial Ryegrass ensures a lush, green lawn all year round.
Steps Involved in Overseeding Your Lawn
The Scalping
To prepare your lawn for overseeding, we first scalp and dethatch to remove excess thatch and old grass, ensuring the new seeds can reach the soil. This step is crucial for a successful overseeding lawn renovation.
The Seeding
The quality of the grass seed is key to the overall success of the overseeding. We recommend using perennial ryegrass, which is well-suited to Phoenix's climate. For optimal results, we suggest:
(1'-2' grass height)
(1⁄2' - 1")
Fertilization
Before the first watering, we apply a starter fertilizer such as 6-20-20 or 15-15-15 to promote healthy growth. This step ensures that the seeds have the nutrients needed for optimal germination.
Mulch
Adding a thin layer of mulch can help retain moisture and warmth, especially if you don’t have a robust irrigation system or if temperatures drop quickly. This step can be crucial for successful grass seeding.
Water
Proper watering is critical to the overseeding process. For the first 7-10 days, we maintain a moist seedbed by watering 4-5 times daily. As the grass begins to grow, we gradually reduce watering frequency, ultimately transitioning to a maintenance schedule suitable for Phoenix's climate.
Mowing
After about 10-14 days, when the grass has reached ¾ to 1 inch in height, the first mowing can be done. We follow the 30% rule to avoid damaging the young seedlings, ensuring that your new lawn continues to thrive.
BEST TIME FOR OVERSEEDING
The ideal time to overseed your lawn in Arizona is during the first two weeks of October or when evening temperatures consistently stay below 65 degrees. Although overseeding takes effort, the results are worth it.
