Missed Fall Seeding? You Still Have Options.
Fall’s the best time to seed — but not the only time. Dormant Seeding or Spring Seeding can bring your lawn back strong.
Which is Best for Your Lawn? Dormant Seeding or Spring Seeding.
Dormant Seeding
Didn’t Seed This Fall? Dormant Seeding Is the Next Best Thing.
Missed your fall seeding window? No worries — you can still set your lawn up for success with Dormant Seeding!
Dormant seeding works just like fall seeding, but we apply the seed in December or January when soil temperatures are too cold for germination. The seed rests in the soil all winter, soaking up moisture and waiting for spring. Once the ground warms, it germinates naturally — right on time.
Why Choose Dormant Seeding:
- You didn’t get seeded in the fall.
- Your fall seeding didn’t take well due to watering issues.
- You want to thicken thin areas without daily watering — let Mother Nature do the work!
Dormant seeding is the next best thing to fall seeding — and for many lawns, it’s the difference between “just okay” and “WOW” when spring hits.

Spring Seeding
Missed Fall and Winter? Spring Seeding Could Be an Option.
For lawns that did not get seed in the fall or get dormant seeded, spring seeding is your next option. It’s best done from mid-March through mid-April when soil temps warm enough for germination. While spring isn’t ideal compared to fall (since summer heat follows quickly), it can still help give you solid coverage heading into the season.
Why Choose Spring Seeding:
- You missed fall or dormant seeding.
- You have bare or thin patches needing quick improvement.
- You want to jumpstart lawn recovery after a rough winter.
Regular watering and follow-up care will be necessary to keep that new turf healthy through the summer!
One situation where spring seeding can actually make sense is in heavy shade areas. With the trees still bare, sunlight can reach the soil for early germination, and once the canopy fills in, it helps protect young roots from burning up in summer.
