Overseeding your lawn in Ohio is a great way to achieve the lush, green lawn of your dreams. However, there is another step you can take after overseeding that will help those new grass seeds grow successfully: applying a soil enhancement. Soil enhancements are designed to improve the overall quality of the soil and create an environment that is ideal for new seed establishment. This type of treatment can also supply the new grass seeds with vital nutrients they need to establish themselves in your lawn, making it easier for them to grow and thrive. When applying a soil enhancement treatment to your lawn, you want to make sure you use the right type that contains the nutrients that your grass will need. What's more, too much of a good thing can be bad, so don't apply too much soil enhancement to your lawn that can actually be detrimental to the health of the new grass seeds.


Applying a soil enhancement to your lawn after overseeding it will provide the seeds with essential nutrients.

After overseeding your lawn, your newly planted grass seeds will need all the help they can get to flourish into beautiful, healthy blades of grass. That's where soil enhancements come in. When you apply this treatment to your lawn after overseeding, it will provide your new grass seeds with essential nutrients, which will encourage growth and development. Soil enhancements typically have several key nutrients that benefit your lawn, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nitrogen helps strengthen the density and color of your grass blades while also aiding in their photosynthesis process. Phosphorus encourages root development and promotes strong, deep root systems. Potassium helps your lawn resist drought stress and disease. By supplying these three nutrients to your new grass seeds, you give them a fighting chance to develop successfully and emerge from the ground looking gorgeous.

You can also aerate your lawn before overseeding it so that the grass seeds have a good place to fall into!
