If you want to be successful at overseeding, you need to follow these easy steps....
1. Mow Low
Mowing low before overseeding is a crucial step in ensuring the success of a new grass seed application. By cutting the existing grass to a shorter height, typically around 1-2 inches, you create several advantages for the overseeding process. It reduces competition for sunlight, water, and nutrients, and increases seed to soil contact allowing the newly sown seeds to establish themselves more effectively.
2. Dethatch
Dethatching before overseeding is a critical preparatory step in achieving a thriving and resilient lawn. Thatch, which is a layer of dead grass, roots, and other organic matter that accumulates on the soil surface, can impede the success of overseeding in several ways. By removing this dense barrier, overseed can make better contact with the soil, ensuring optimal seed-to-soil contact for germination.
3. Choosing the right seed
Selecting the right grass seed is a pivotal decision when it comes to overseeding, as it directly influences the outcome of your lawn. Different grass species and varieties possess varying characteristics, such as color, shade tolerance, drought resistance, and durability, which can impact the overall performance and aesthetics of your lawn.
4. Starter fertilizer
Applying a starter fertilizer during overseeding is a crucial practice for jumpstarting the growth and establishment of newly sown grass seeds. Starter fertilizers typically contain a higher concentration of phosphorus, a nutrient essential for root development and early plant growth. By providing this nutrient boost at the time of overseeding, you enhance the chances of rapid and robust germination.
5. Weed Preventer
Applying mesotrione when overseeding can be a valuable practice to prevent unwanted weed competition and ensure the success of your new grass seeds. Mesotrione is a selective herbicide that targets broadleaf weeds and certain grassy weeds while sparing most established grass varieties. By using mesotrione before overseeding, you can effectively eliminate existing and future weed growth.
6. Watering
Watering after overseeding is of paramount importance to support the successful germination and growth of newly sown grass seeds. Adequate moisture is a fundamental requirement for seed germination, and without it, even the most carefully chosen grass seed won't flourish. Consistent and gentle watering keeps the soil consistently damp, allowing the seeds to swell and sprout.

@@2bagsOfChips2k2 seed is not available yet, will be available next season
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Thanks for sharing the information and tips. Did you convert from KBG to TTTF and is it a semi-dwarf TTTF ?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Is the seed available yet?
Name of seed
I truly wish people understood how much time and effort goes into a video like this. Well done bro. Turned out great!
Much appreciated bro!
took an absurd amount of time lol
I’m convinced that all really good content creators work in IT… and if not, they’re just highly technical. I have family members that are in graphic design, web development and content creation. The time, skill and eye it takes to get the nuances right… That’s the stuff that makes the difference. I’m an infrastructure nerd but I have mad respect for the devs/creatives. Great stuff dudes!
Dude, your channel is probably the most highly professionally produced lawn care YT channel. But I agree as well with your comments.
@@PrincessCutLawnCaredefinitely one of my favorites…like on THE favorites.
What do you recommend with Puncture Vines aka Goat Heads Weed
Between you and Ryan Knorr, my first overseeding project was successful! My contractors that built my house put some crap sod down and killed most of it. Now mine is nice and green! If you want something done, do it yourself (with the help of this channel)
So happy to hear boss! its a good feeling when you see them grow for the first time
Banger video George! Now’s the time to transform the lawn!
Thanks bro!
I've had the Sun Joe dethatcher and Groundskeeper II rake for a couple years now and they're game changers. Always amazed at how much dead material they pull up, and satisfying af haha.
Great video, George! I overseeded the last 2 years. Thought it was super effective to use a blower after dethatching instead of raking. Sharply angling it down towards the ground really exposed a lot of soil. Also, watering lightly before rolling seemed to help make the rolling more effective.
Thank you so much, I'm about to overseed my lawn and I feel confident after watching your videos.
Good luck with your project my friend! You got this!
Thanks for all your help George- your vid's along with some of the other lawn CZcamsrs - I had seedlings doing first emergence after just 4 days (about 1/8") , and the green haze after days 5-6. That's with the RK KBG PRG mix.
May need to give the TTTF a shot in the backyard next season..plan is 20x20 squares all summer long with straw blankets.
No problem Matt! its a great feeling when you start to see the babies sprout:)
Just did all this last weekend. Used an elite rye grass for my overseeding. Also used a mix of the oscillating fan sprinkler and one of the multi setting sprinklers you suggested. Both were at my disposal, but I also have been doing some hand watering. Preferably I would like to not use the fan you said not to use, but it covers the largest surface area for me in the shortest amount of time. Just works with the schedule. Also, its doing it on a patchy area that already had a decent amount of grass. I put a nice layer of peat moss on the bare areas to prevent runoff as best as possible. Hoping for some good results by this weekend. Another heat wave incoming, hope this sprouts before it hits!!! Thanks for all the tips Princess Cut!
no problem boss! good luck with your project! sounds like you got everything undercontrol
stay cool!
This channel is amazing. I won’t overseed due to having Bermuda but I watched this anyways due to how quality this channel is. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
Your timing is perfect! I am halfway through getting rid of some bent grass that got into my lawn and will be reseeding in Grayslake IL next week. BTW, the Tenacity works great! I will be getting the planting mix that you recommended. Thank you!
Hey neighbor 👋
Next week is good timing for us 👍
Can you use tenacity after reseeding ?
Great video!
Btw; for most people:
Detaching can be skipped if you mow (more) regularly. Detaching makes the room for weeds (hence the weed killer he uses) but you could save a lot of time and money on fertilizing and weed-control by simply leaving the clippings to fertilize the soil. Also, if possible, overseed before rain (not storm ofc). Test your soil before fertilizing for nutrients and pH so you don't overapply peat moss (which makes soil acidic) or (overapply) minerals which can cause deficiency in other minerals even if you have plenty in your soil.
N -P - K numbers: - grams per square meter. Nitrogen for growth and colour (summer, winter), Phosphorus for roots - phosphoroots :D (spring, overseeding), Potassium (K) for drought & cold resistance (summer, fall). So spring: 10-25-15, summer - 20-5-20, fall - 20-5-20. (or similar numbers, you can have 2 fertilizers to save storage space).
thanks for sharing!
I still think for most, the benefits of a dethatch( power raking) especially if they have never done it, are going to outweigh the risk of more room for weeds. Power raking is fairly hard on grass, but it is fairly damaging to weeds as well. Keep in mind most weeds will be on the decline heading into winter while cool season grass is on the way up. So while some winter weeds may come up, most weeds are not going to be as vigorous as they were in the summer. One of the key things when thinking about any renovation or overseed is making sure you have the weeds in your lawn under control first. To me an overseed is pointless if your lawn is full of weeds and you haven't gotten control yet. Using the mesotrione how he is here is preventing or stunting new weeds enough that the grass can take it over and crowd it out. If you are trying to crowd out weeds when seeding, you aren't really giving your grass seed the best chance to grow
@@ahastar1141 You are correct sir!
Great video! You speak very clear and easy to understand.
Here in southern PA we are so dry right now struggling to get any rain, I want to over seed but temps in the 90’s coming next week😝 ready though hope we can salvage a bit in the fall…
Thanks so much! i would wait until your heat wave is over, looks like by next thurday things will start cooling off, you will still be well within the seed window if you wait an extra week
Thanks for the great video . once again you have covered all the bases and hit out of the park !!
Appreciate you Tom
I appreciate this video. Cause it helped me realize im wayyyyyy ahead of my skis. Im in a small townhome in Ontario CA. Recently purchased from a slob of a former owner, who allowed 50% of the front lawn the become infested with weeds. And the backyard, infiltrated by those clover and white wild flowers. I got enough DIY to do indoors, so im gonna just do my best to rip out those weeds, throw down seeds and fert, and hope for the best. In the fall, maybe il hire someone to treat it properly for next fall.
The simple fact that you’re here means you on the right track to fixing your lawn!
You got this John! We believe in you!
Always great seeing you in lawn thanks again
Likewise Allen!
Very good video for the beginner. I really appreciate that you also give us some money saving tips.
Thanks so much 😊
Just seeded my lawn. Havent done any seeding in years. Im less than a week in and getring impaitent. Im happy to see i followed most of this advice without even watching any videos. Fish emulsion fertilizer is what i used with some humic.
This is a really great video! People of the internet this is what to follow for overseeding! To the point and are 100% correct with all of the info, great job!
appreciate that boss
Awesome dude, great walkthrough. Just finished my reno/overseeding today, I AM EXHAUSTED, good to see someone else also at work! 😅
haha thanks Sam! its a ton of work lol
GREAT VIDEO !!! You DEFINITELY MAKE IT EASY to follow..
I appreciate that!
Finally got around to leveling this very bumpy lawn on this new house and after done i seeded some but in came rain. Will see how much seed will actually still be there or if ill have patches of heavy seed in some washouts. Good Info George! Thanks!
no problem and nice work with the leveling!
Great video and love the whole family pitching in to help
Appreciate that boss!
OMG, that ceiling mounted extension cord is everything, there goes more of my money. Hope you get some rain and a cool down soon 🙏
one thing i can tel you is that it is money WELL spent
you will absolutely not regret getting one
Great video as always thanks
I started using Tenacity because of this channel. My experience with it is good, but I have to use 2 or 3 times per gallon more than the spec sheet says. I guess I have REALLY resistant or healthy weeds. If I go by the spec sheet, they will turn white in about two weeks, but then they all recover, even with another application at 3 weeks. If I increase the mix ratio as stated above, the weeds get super bleached. Then if I do another application, with the per spec mix ratio, in the 3rd week after application, I get the best results.
I know that you can risk damaging your lawn by increasing the ratio as I have, but my lawn does not seem to notice.
Yes, I did calibrate my sprayer for my nozzle and all that. I did it twice and had a landscaper buddy of mine check it for me.
You have QUICKLY become my favorite Lawn CZcams channel. I’m close to you and my go time is Friday for overseed.
appreciate that derek! good luck with your project!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare one day I’ll catch you at a Home Depot and have your sign my sprayer. Heads up on a store called Ollies in Aurora, picked up bio advanced version of hydretain for $5 per and bio advanced Granular T nex also. Stocked up lol
haha deal, gonna have to go check out that place, never been there before @@DerekG35
I overseeded twice with oscillating sprinkler. I have 3 of the same exact one you show on the video attached with auto timers watering 3 times a day. I found that for my lawn are the best sprinkler for the job. Got excellent results from using this oscillating sprinkler vs others. Why, because they immitate a light rain which is the most natural water source. Also the water comes straight down instead of sideways which keeps the seed in place. But thank for the video. Every other tip is on point
Thank you so much for this video !
👍. Definitely adding that extension cord retractor to the list of items to pick up.
Best money ever spent
George, your videos are the best, it’s a good day when you upload!
appreciate that! wish we could upload more but work gets in the way:(
Great tips. Will be doing all this in a couple days. Thank you for the information!
Thanks, good luck with your project!
Love the video. Wish there was more. I know it takes a lot to make a video. I appreciate it. Can't like this video enough.
Thanks Lance! Wish we could make more but work is always getting in the way unfortunately
Best yard channel!!
Ayoo shout out Yuri!
Appreciate you bro
Great video, lots of helpful information, thanks! I did overseeing years ago on a lawn that started as more of a meadow and did almost none of the steps you suggest. Eventually the results were great anyway, but I wasted an awful lot of grass seed getting there. Also, I vastly prefer the look of Kentucky Bluegrass and perennial ryegrass to tall fescue, but whatever works for you.
Ran into you at goodwill last Saturday! First time ever seeing a CZcamsr I watch in person!
Haha what’s up dude!
Nice to connect with you again 😊
I love getting the kids involved :) great job
Yes! Thank you!
Great video brotha. I know this one took some time and energy, and you nailed it. 👊
Thanks Chris!
your videos are top notch thanks !
Always love the videos! Would you have any changes in recommendations for spring seeding? I really can’t wait for fall to repair some of my front lawn.
Thanks George!
No problem Boss! have a good day
Great video and reminder hehe, doing a front overseed and temps are on the rise here in Northeast.. i will however hold off with backyard renovation another week or so.... the only menu item i am adding is a fungus control. Some bioadvanced propicanazole...😮
sounds like a you have a fun project comin up!
good thinking with the fungicide, this weather is nuts
Awesome info! Do you do consultations?. Also in Chicago and bought some kgb, but now I’m second guessing that upon.seeing your kbg video. Have a small Chicago lot so I’m wondering if I should rent a power rake or if I can just rake roughly. I know the clock is ticking. Love your videos- they are so well done and informative.
Great info as always. I just seeded my lawn too
Thanks and nice! What kind of seed?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I used a Pennington smart seed fescue. And the potting soil you used.
Just got my mesotrione and the instructions says
“ do not spray on newly germinated turfgrass. Delay treatment until grass has been mowed 2 to 4 times and/or four weeks after emergence, whichever is longer.”
So I’m kind of at a point where I’ve got my pre-germinated fescue and I’m ready to cast it with my morganite, and follow up with the Mesotrion but now I’m hesitant because of the package instructions.
George, I don’t expect you to catch this today but if you did that would be rad. I think regardless I’m going to go with your suggestion and just roll to me so try on after getting the seed down.
I appreciate you for making these videos and all your effort. You’re helping me turn my lawn back into something that we can actually use and appreciate.
Great information as always thanks
Appreciate it Robert
Great video! You should look into getting a landsie spreader for top dressing. I have one and love it. My massive batch of homemade compost is almost ready to top dress.
appreciate it! ill check it out, thanks for sharing
100% agree!
Just discovered your channel. 🎉 great work!
Thanks and welcome! 😃
Great channel. So much helpful DIY advice. I am prepping to over seed with TTTF. I am gradually lowering my deck. Next step is de-thatch. Should I spray D-thatch prior or after de-thatching?
thanks! i would spray it after
another awesome and simple video
Thanks so much Alonzo
Nice summary George!!
Thanks Tom!
Great video! Just got the starter fertilizer & root growth stimulant.
thanks! good luck with your project!
Thanks George I live south of Ohare that heat last week was insane!
Hey neighbor! And yeah it was!
Bro. I'm in nwi. I was about to seed this week but I held off once I saw the forecast. I'm done with that heat
Thank you help me alot I looking for more simple and to the point video. Good job. ❤
Thanks so much! Good luck with your project 😊
great video mate enjoyed your content
thanks paul!
Bro. FESCUE?!?!? YES!! In about 10 minutes I’ll be dropping Resilience TTTF from Twin City Seeds. REALLY curious what cultivar you used.
coming soon 👀
@@PrincessCutLawnCare You and Jesse collaborate well. Two of my favorite channels. Good stuff George.
Great information George 👍
Thanks David!
Fantastic video. For seed covering, I like your choice but I’m still partial to mushroom manure or fresh compost…I find it to be like steroids for starting grass. It’s not uncommon to start seeing sprouts in 7 days or so if you have decent weather . Keep up the great work my friend!
thank you so much! and sounds like some good coverings as well:)
Great video! Planning overseed soon but we also are getting mid 90’s degree heat in MD! So will hold off some more. What would you say is the highest temperature that you would seed tall fescue at? It’s supposed to be 90° all next week, lows of 68 degrees
thanks so much wes! looks like things will start cooling down starting thursday, good luck with your project!
LOL!! We having another heat wave coming this up coming week so I'm gonna wait to start and thanks for answering my questions from your last older video with posting this one instead of answering all what I asked as this video covered my questions thanks again. I've got alot of weeds and my work cut out for me my wife suggests I make a video to show my work and progress I will and I'll def share it with so you can chime in and point out errors or just ride along on this weed free and grass growing journey in my location near one of the worse areas I feel to even try this as Metra does nothing to help keep this area weed and garbage free it's up to me once you see where I live and all that i have to contend with you'll be like WOW ! I have to deal with Racoon's, Rabbits, dogs , possums, snakes, Cats, probably grubs as well as other grass eaters as well as every kind of weed God has ever invented LOL!! I've def got the all flora and fauna intended...........
Good information
Which grass seed did you go with?
Great video as always. Love the videos as I am local to Chicago as well and find the information provided extremely applicable.
Thanks Neighbor! i used a brand new fescue that is not even available yet, im working on bringing it to market hopefully by spring
I am from the Chi as well and this summer was brutal!
Yea it was!
I think I am going to start to overseed at the end of this month. October you never know what kind of weather you will get.@@PrincessCutLawnCare
Some great tips here, watching from Ireland
Thanks Robbie! Good to see you
Watching from Germany, and I also subscribe to Robbie and Shaun.
@@Mike--K good man 👌
Awesome video George. I have a question about your seed choice. I'm near Oswego IL, and most of my yard is Kentucky blue grass. But it's super then and mostly overgrown with creeping Charlie. Any pointers to overseas with blue grass and how to keep creeping Charlie away as well?
thanks neighbor! are you dead set on sticking with bluegrass? the only reason i ask is because its very hard to overseed kbg WITH kbg because it takes to long to germinate
Nice video George. As a tall fescue guy, I was hoping you would tell us what brand/company you used as your seed. I use Jonathan Green Black Beauty Ultra, but I am always open to learning about other quality seed.
Thanks bob!
Coming soon, still ironing out some of the kinks before it goes public
Just received my FireBall and Mollala. I’m ready!
Oh that’s gonna be DARK
@@PrincessCutLawnCare thanks for you videos! We appreciate your time
I'm in the Chicago area too, and I'm glad to see that somebody else over seated last week as well. I did try pre germinating my seeds for the first time and I started seeing grass pop up after two to three days. I did try peat moss down for the first time, but I think it may be thick in a few areas. Should I try rake in those out or just wait?
Hey neighbor! I would not rake it out, just keep it wet and give it a bit more time
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Thank you for the response and guidance! Great, helpful videos
excellent videos George. I just finished over seeding Perennial Rye seedling after dethatching using Sunjoe 15 inch, in Dallas. This is my first time and question is, Is it ok to over seed Rye in October where my Bermuda Grass is still Green?
Great vid! Best time to overseed? Trying to bring my lawn back to life!
Thanks! do you have cool season grass?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare yes sir!
Love the PPE
Lots of good information. Concise and to the point. Thanks for putting it together! What time(s) of the year are best for overseeding?
thanks mark! best time for cool season grass is late summer heading into fall, for the chicago area it would be between aug 15th and sept 15th
Your Dad New Balances are dope!
haha thanks man
hey! keep it up buddy your looking great! 🎉
Hey, thanks
Greetings from Nixa, Mo. Going to do my over seeding this weekend and I'm going to follow all of your advice. I purchased all of the products and hopefully I will have a better lawn next spring. My only concern is that there's a possibility of s storm coming in on Wed. Do you think that this will be an issue? Will the storm wash out all of my seed and fertilizer?
Nice Video. I am in the middle of a renovation here in illinois as well. Your tips are amazing! When would you over seed after putting down tall fescue two weeks ago? Thanks!
Thanks Neighbor! what do you mean by your question? do you have patchy spots after seeding?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare so i put down tall fescue 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately it came out thin. I definitely must over-seed now to fill in my bare spots.
Im curious what you think about pre germinating your seed? Ive been seeing some very interesting methods lately and its got me intrigued. Cuts the time for establishment in half
What's your next application after the starter fertilizer? About four weeks later? I was thinking of using flagship granulated product. Then four weeks later Jonathan green winter survival product. Please advise on that. Thanks. Love your vids
Perfect timing thanks!!!
Was there a dry starter fertilizer that you recommended at one point?
Thanks! And Yes, Scott’s built for seeding is great, it also contains weed preventer
Wow! Those people are serious about their grass.
Great video, I did light overseed week ago but just had a 3 days non stop storm that came through. I think it destroyed seed. Would like to restart and use your method, would it be okay to restart?
Awesome video. Right of time for me! I’m in west Michigan and I’m in the process of renovating my lawn. I planned on seeding this upcoming weekend before Labor Day but we are supposed to also experience record highs next week in the 90s and possibly 100s. Should I seed as planned or should I hold off until the heat wave passes? I know that I need to give the grass enough time to establish before frost and feel like I’m already running out of time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
i would wait, its no fun watering every hour during the heat wave, looks like it will be over by next thursday which will still be well within the window for MI
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I really appreciate the quick reply. I’ll hold off until it passes. Thanks again for the advice!
@PrincessCutLawnCare I overseeded my lawn Sunday not realizing how hot it was going to be this weekend. I’m currently watering 3 times for 10 minutes, should I increase the time or water more often??
@@omarmundel6387 when it’s 90s and 100s water every 1-2 hours during the hottest parts of the day
@@PrincessCutLawnCareTruly appreciate the advise, don’t want the money I spent on the seed to be wasted.
I have a few questions. I over seeded my lawn last week with annual ryegrass seed. I also put down some starter fertilizer with it. I have noticed that some of the new grass coming in is red. Is this something that I should be concerned about? And if so, what causes it and what can I do about it? Also, I applied Tenacity before over seeding. Thanks!
I used a similar process, the only difference is I fertilized and put down the pre-emergent before the protective top layer. I'm sure it doesn't make a huge difference either way. Now just trying to keep the seed wet here in my area.
nice! either way is fine, doesnt matter what order
good luck with your project!
Great video. I'm looking for a tall fescue. Can you share which one you used from your trip. I'm definitely interested.
Coming soon!
Nice video George. 👊
Appreciate that Simon
How have you been???
@@PrincessCutLawnCare doing good, life got in the way of things the last few months but I'm working on some stuff that'll be out soon 👊
Don’t be afraid of the generic mesotrione. It works just as well as the tenacity brand. I’ll be getting more from the company that you mentioned.
For sure
awesome video! i use my ortho sprayer to use n-ext products, do you know if i can mix in the meso with the n-ext prouducts in there or does that need to be applied with a pump sprayer on its own?
Great tips bro!
Thanks Jayman! How you been bro??
@@PrincessCutLawnCare doing good brother.
Cant wait to do this in a few weeks. Have 2 questions: can I use a 14 gauge elect cord for the SunJoe or must it be 12 gauge? And secondly - use a broom or a rake to get the seeds to soils? Thx.
i believe the label calls for 12 gauge.
also a rake or broom will both work well, use what you have
Amazing video and editing. Which specific tall fescue did you use?!
Great video. I live in Minnesota and we can't get the weed preventer you named. Any alternatives? Thanks.
check ebay 🤫🤫🤫
Very helpful video ! What brand of seed did you use ?, I keep using the commonly known brands and am always disappointed with the results
What would use for dormant seeding? I'm in south eastern Wisconsin and I'm in the middle of a project right now. I have a couple of large areas that I have to fill to level out the yard but also want to over seed the entire yard
102, 103. So lucky. 103 is Texas' usual. This heat murders our grass lol
should I use the starter fertilizer + weed preventer together that you mentioned in this video after overseeding or I should use speedzone weed killer that you recommended to do in your another video which explain Do these 3 steps before winter - appreciate your guidance
Great video! Have you done one on winterizers yet?
Thanks Ben!
And yes you can see it here:
czcams.com/video/WKs0r4eKDBg/video.html
I am in the Chicago area and I SO wish I could hire you!
Great video, starting my overseeding this weekend. Question about the sun Joe dethatcher, seeing in the video that you use scarifier attached which people use for vert cutting. Is this better to use this attachment as opposed to the other attachment with the tines?
Thanks!
I threw away the dethatching tines a long time ago, imo the verticutter is the only thing worth using
@@PrincessCutLawnCare just a follow-up question what height setting do you set the sun Joe at when using that attachment?..... lol watching this video have to change my plans for this weekend
@@werebacke if your seeding bare dirt use the lowest setting.
If your overseeding use the second to lowest setting
Love your videos I just made an impulse desicion and killed off my whole lawn with glyphosate one more day of sucking up dead Grass and leveling everything what if there is still some root stuck in ground here and there should I just still seed anyway I am just pressed for time bc planting a kbg mix
oh boy sounds me in my earlier years haha
what kbg are you using?
@PrincessCutLawnCare me and my bright ideas lol I had a really nice lawn but was perrenial rye red fescue and small percent of kbg and I could not achieve the deep green I wanted so I got the kbg blue heat from gci turf hopefully that will do the trick !! Ur videos are so explanatory and easy to follow keep up the content 👌 u think I should ruff up just about an inch of soil and get as many of the dead roots up as I can ? I just didn't wanna waste too much time I want to get the seed in ground asap bc I know they say kbg can take a while to germinate thanks
