About Our Lawn Seeding Service

Did you know early fall is the best time of year for fescue grass seeding in our bay area? Our unique lawn seeding treatment is exclusively done in September and October. We use a machine called a slit seeder, which is an application method that opens your lawn’s topsoil for better seed-to-soil contact. What does this mean for you? This means a higher germination rate and a better chance of fuller, thicker grass!

Our Slit Seeding Process

Our certified lawn care technicians will evaluate the current condition of your yard and recommend the seeding treatment best suited for your lawn’s needs. We are an expert grass seeding company that knows exactly how to treat your lawn. Here’s how our process goes:

  • First, we’ll inspect your lawn and conduct an in-depth analysis to identify your lawn’s specific needs
  • From there, we lay the grass seed over your entire lawn, then run our slit seeder. (this order may vary depending on lawn conditions)
  • After the slit seeding treatment is complete, our technicians will educate you on the process, proper watering techniques, and more to see the best results for your lawn.
  • You’ll be left with a vibrant, fuller lawn that you can enjoy in the fall and that will be healthy enough to endure the winter!

*Note: Our lawn seeding service is only offered as an additional service with one of our lawn care programs.

Why is Slit Seeding Important?

Slit seeding allows fertilizer, water, and other nutrients to mix with the soil. Our slit seeding machine is equipped with a series of knives that cut narrow grooves, or slits, into the ground allowing these nutrients to get further into the roots of your lawn. The increase in seed-to-soil contact makes it easier for your grass to germinate. This allows your lawn to grow fuller and greener than ever before.

Frequently Asked Questions: Lawn Seeding Edition

When is slit seeding done in Hampton Roads, and why only then?

Slit seeding is performed only in September and October because cool-season fescue germinates best in fall's mild temperatures and warm soil. Fall timing gives new grass months to establish roots before summer heat and disease pressure arrive. Seeding in spring or summer risks weak seedlings that struggle once the heat sets in.

What is slit seeding and how is it different from throwing down seed myself?

Slit seeding uses a machine that cuts shallow grooves in the soil and drops seed directly into them, creating the seed-to-soil contact that drives germination. Spreading seed by hand leaves most of it sitting on the surface, where it dries out or gets eaten before it can sprout. The direct placement is why slit seeding produces a thicker, fuller lawn with fewer bare spots.

Do I need seeding if I already have a lawn care program?

Seeding helps when your lawn has thinned out, developed bare patches, or lost density over time, even on an established program. Fertilization and weed control keep existing grass healthy, but they cannot replace grass that has already died off or grown sparse. Slit seeding fills those gaps so the lawn returns to full coverage.

How soon will I see new grass after seeding?

New grass usually begins to sprout within two to three weeks of slit seeding, with fuller coverage developing over the following months. Proper watering right after seeding is the biggest factor in how well the seed germinates, which is why technicians provide specific watering guidance. The lawn continues to thicken through fall and into the next growing season.
