Working with a professional lawn care service provider is typically the most efficient cost effective way to power seed and ensure that you achieve the very best results possible for your lawn.
Power seeding a yard.
Your lawn is a candidate for renovation by power seeding if it still has 50 percent or more of healthy turf grass coverage intermixed with the thin areas.
Slit seeders operate much in the same.
Next use a thatch rake or power rake to remove any thatch you find.
Power seeding can quickly restore a thin damaged lawn to the thick lush and healthy lawn you want and with the precise method being used less grass seed is needed.
If your yard does require power seeding you could manage the process yourself.
Power seeding may also be the best option in cases where weeds are rampant or animals and insects have damaged your lawn.
You can over seed a lawn to repair it or power seed a new lawn.
However renting or buying the necessary equipment is expensive.
Mow your lawn so that the grass sits above the soil line.
Or for smaller spaces a stand alone engine operated system will do the slit seeding job.
This will let the grass seed get enough sunlight and make good contact with the soil.
Rather than having to till up the entire lawn or topdress it after seeding a power seeder allows you to inject the seeds right into the soil.
Ideally it should be an inch to an inch and a half.
This is called dethatching.
A power seeder or slit seeder makes short work of spreading grass seed over an entire lawn.
Power seeding involves using either a tractor with the machine attached to slice seed the area.
