How Much Grass Seed You Need to Overseed Depends on the Type & Your Lawn's Size

When overseeding, the amount of grass seed you need depends on the type you're using and the size of your lawn. Different grass types have different seed sizes and growth rates, so it's important to consider these factors when determining how much seed you need to achieve the desired density. Additionally, the size of your lawn will play a role in how much seed you need. Larger lawns will require more seed to achieve the desired density, while smaller lawns will require less.

When overseeding your lawn, it's important to use the right amount of grass seed. While the amount of seed you need depends on the size of your lawn and the grass type, it's generally recommended to use half the normal seeding rate. This is because overseeding is intended to fill in bare and patchy areas on your lawn, not completely start from scratch. Using half the normal seeding rate ensures that you're adding enough seed to these areas without overcrowding them. This will allow the seeds to establish roots and grow into healthy, dense grass.

Professionals have the knowledge and experience to determine the right amount of grass seed to use based on the size of your lawn and the grass type. They also know how to properly prepare your lawn for overseeding, ensuring that the seeds have the best chance of germinating and establishing roots. Additionally, some professionals offer tiers where they use different amounts of grass seed depending on your preferences. This allows you to choose the level of density you want for your lawn, ensuring that you get the results you're looking for.
