Lawns suffering from thin, bare patches or those without any grass at all require aggressive renovation techniques. The lawn may be revived by over seeding with a slit seeder. The seeder drops a measured amount of seed into the soil prepared by a action of a rotating knife blades. As the seeder moves forward, the neoprene flap smoothes the soil to cover the seed and aids in germination. Water thoroughly as soon as over seeding is complete and lightly each day until the seed germinates. Once the grass has sprouted, water regularly to encourage deeper growth.
For best results, we over seed in two applications, with the second application made at 45-degree angle to the first. You will notice a distinct crosshatch pattern in the effected soil as the slit seeder blade reel cuts precisely aligned rows allowing the seed to penetrate into the topsoil.
