Overseeding is a process of rejuvenating your turf by applying new grass seed right over your existing grass. This makes your lawn thicker and more consistent while filling in bare and thin spots. Our professional overseeding programs deliver:
Overseeding is the process of planting new grass seeds into your existing turf. It thickens lawns, adds fullness to thin areas, and introduces new grass variety to your lawn without ruining the existing grass.
Seeding, which is also known as reseeding, typically refers to the process of replacing existing turf (and unwanted plants) by either removing old grass or setting the stage for new growth by laying bare soil. It is usually applied when over 40% of the lawn is gone or ragged.
When you want a lush, beautiful yard without having to rip everything up and start again, overseeding is your best option. Seeding is best for larger repairs and entire lawn renovations.
Overseeding is most successful when planned with the seasons. Timing depends on your lawn’s condition and the type of grass being seeded. In Westchester County, most homeowners and property managers benefit from either fall or spring overseeding.
Perfectly suited from late summer through early fall when the ground is still warm and the air is cooling. This timing provides seeds the highest opportunity for germination before the onset of winter.
Effective in early spring when soil starts to warm, though it can lead to increased weed competition. Spring works well for freshening the lawn after winter injury.
The right method ensures the best seed-to-soil contact for higher germination and thicker turf. Our team evaluates your lawn and chooses the appropriate equipment for the job. Each property is treated with a tailored overseeding approach.
Regular overseeding helps maintain your lawn’s appearance and health. It helps keep grass growing by providing a source of nitrogen for turf health and density at any time of year, especially high-traffic areas in the shade. Results are often visible in only a couple of weeks.
Whether you need to repair a small portion or would like a thicker, lush lawn, our overseeding program will provide lasting results. At Joseph Bulfamante & Son, we use commercial grade equipment, professional timing, and the best choice of seed to produce thicker, greener lawns.

FAQ
What is the cost of overseeding in Westchester, NY?
Price varies, depending on the size of your lawn, the type of seed and whether you combine it with aeration or dethatching. By contacting us we give an exact quote.
Can I overseed after aeration?
Yes. Aeration encourages improved germination rates by making it easier for seeds to penetrate the soil, and overseeding the lawn immediately after aeration will enable seeds to establish themselves in the lawn.
How often should I oversee my lawn?
Once a year, ideally in the fall, works best for maintaining lush turf. For high-traffic or high-use areas, consider a seasonal overseeding plan.
Will overseeding entirely overcome bare spots?
You can overseed to fix minor thin spots. If the area of bare spots is huge, you might also need to incorporate overseeding with focused soil preparation or reseeding to encourage growth.
