When summer comes to an end and the weather is getting cold, your lawn also demands a little care to remain healthy and strong. High temperatures, a lot of walking, and dryness may exhaust your grass, make it thin, weak, and prone to weak points. The good thing is that cooler weather is the best time to repair it. And the best way to do that is through professional lawn seeding.
At MW Lawn & Landscape, we offer expert lawn seeding services to help your grass recover and prepare for the months ahead. With the right timing, tools, and care, your lawn can grow thicker and greener before the next season starts. Lawn seeding is one of the best ways to improve your lawn’s health and is one of the most effective lawn renovations you can do for your lawn.
Why Late Summer and Early Fall Are the Best Times to Seed?
Grass seeds grow best when the temperature starts to drop and the moisture in the soil increases. This creates the perfect conditions for healthy growth. The soil still feels warm, and the air is cool in comparison to the hot summer. This balance helps seeds sprout faster and establish roots before winter arrives. Lawn seeding this time of year benefits your lawn with:
Strong roots before the cold
Late summer or early fall seeding helps grass create deep roots. Healthy roots allow grass to withstand the cold winter and grow back healthy during spring.
Thicker coverage for weak areas
Your lawn receives new seeds to fill in any barren or patchy areas. This causes the grass to grow thicker and more level, creating a further better appearance.
Less competition from weeds
When you seed now, grass gets a good jump on weeds before they even have a chance to grow. That means less chance for weeds to move in on your lawn.
A better start for spring growth
Grass seeded in the fall is ready to grow quickly when spring arrives. This gives your lawn a fresh and healthy start after winter. With proper lawn renovations, you’ll notice a major difference in appearance and thickness.
What Is Professional Seeding and How It Works?
Professional seeding is more than just throwing seeds on the ground. It’s a carefully planned service that helps grass grow evenly and successfully.
At MW Lawn & Landscape our seeding service includes:
- Site evaluation
We check your soil, lawn condition, and problem areas.
- Seed selection
We choose high-quality seed blends that match your grass type and location.
- Preparation
We lightly loosen the top layer of soil and remove debris so the seed can contact the ground.
- Even seeding
Using commercial tools, we spread the seed in a way that covers the full area, not just the visible patches.
- Starter fertilizer
We add nutrients to support seed growth and root development.
- Watering instructions
You will receive an easy to follow watering program in order to make sure that the seed grows well.
Why You Should Avoid DIY Seeding?
It might seem easy to try seeding on your own, but many homeowners find poor results. The seed may not germinate well, or it may grow unevenly. In some cases, it may not grow at all.
Here are common mistakes we see with DIY lawn seeding:
- Using the wrong type of seed.
- Applying too much or too little seed.
- Skipping soil preparation.
- Failing to water consistently.
- Seeding at the wrong time.
Who Should Consider Seeding Before Fall?
Seeding is great for almost any lawn that shows signs of stress or thinning. You should consider this service if:
- Your lawn has bald or patchy areas.
- The grass looks thin or weak.
- You want to improve the lawn’s overall appearance.
- You plan to sell your home and want better curb appeal.
- You want a head start before spring.
Even if your lawn doesn’t look bad, seeding can still help it stay thick and healthy through the cooler months.
