Lawns suffering from thin, bare patches or those without any grass at all require aggressive renovation techniques. The lawn may be revived by overseeding with a lawn seeder.
The hopper drops a measured amount of seed and the lawn seeder plants the seed by blending them into the soil through the action of the rotating knife blades. As the lawn seeder moves forward, the neoprene flap smoothes the soil to cover the seed and aids germination.
Water thoroughly as soon as overseeding is complete and lightly each day until the seed germinates. Once the grass has sprouted, water regularly to encourage deeper growth. For best results, it is recommended overseeding in two applications, with the second application made at a 45-degree angle to the first. You'll notice a distinct crosshatch pattern in the effected soil as the knife blades cut precisely aligned rows of seeds into the turf beneath topsoil.
