Overseeding is a great way to bolster your lawn's thickness, but if weeds are present, you may wonder if you should eliminate them first. It's ideal to do so before overseeding, as it ensures they don't continue to steal nutrients and resources that your new grass seeds need to germinate and establish. Additionally, you'll want to wait a few weeks after applying weed control before overseeding, as this will ensure the seeds have the best chance of success. However, if you're on a professional lawn care plan, this is all under control since they'll time the treatments perfectly so that your lawn in Dublin, OH, is protected from weeds and the grass seeds have optimal conditions to thrive.

To get the best results from overseeding, it's ideal to eliminate weeds beforehand. After all, weeds are invasive plants that steal nutrients, water, and other resources that your new grass seeds will need to germinate and establish successfully. When they are present on your lawn, the grass seeds will have competition for much-needed resources that they need to grow.

To give them the best chance of germinating, it's best to kill the weeds before you spread grass seeds to ensure they don't continue to cause problems and hinder your overseeding efforts. That way, the seeds and your existing lawn have optimal conditions to grow and become lush!
