Overseeding is the key to a thick, healthy lawn, and the ClassicLawns process delivers guaranteed results. We start with core aeration to open up the soil, then apply our premium turf-type tall fescue seed. If needed, we’ll follow up with verticutting to improve seed-to-soil contact.
Overseeding is the secret to a thick, healthy lawn that can stand up to weeds, pests, and tough Midwest summers. Regular seeding fills in bare spots, improves lawn density, and keeps your grass looking its best year after year. At ClassicLawns, we’ve seen the best results when lawns are seeded in back-to-back years, then every three years or as needed—giving you a lawn that’s always green, full, and thriving!
The Classic Lawns seeding process is designed for maximum results for a lawn you’ll love.
Core aeration is the first and most important step in our seeding process. By removing small plugs of soil, aeration loosens compacted areas, creating ideal spaces for seeds to settle and grow. This improves seed-to-soil contact, enhances root development, and helps your new grass establish quickly and thrive.
A great lawn starts with the best seed, and at Classic Lawns, we’re meticulous about what we use. We choose only premium, high-quality turf-type tall fescue with 0% weed and crop seed—anything less won’t meet our standards. Plus, we apply it at the proper rates, ensuring every edge and hard-to-reach area gets the attention it deserves.
Verticutting is a process where we use a machine to cut shallow grooves into the soil, helping the grass seed fall down in the dirt, not just sitting on top. This improves seed-to-soil contact for better germination and stronger growth. We’ll recommend verticutting when your lawn needs that extra boost to get the best results.
