What is Power Seeding?
The name says it all. Power seeding is about using precise state-of-the-art equipment to sow seeds directly into the soil on your lawn without damaging your existing grass. Growing grass seeds comes down to one crucial component – seed-to-soil contact. Kentucky Lawn Care Power Seeder combines the new seed with your lawn’s soil for the best possible results. Simply throwing seeds on top of bare spots doesn’t cut it. You end up with a shallow germination rate, typically around 10%. In other words, just one in every ten seeds will grow. But with our power seeding grass process and equipment, your germination rate will be over 80%+.
What are the benefits of Power Seeding?
Strong Seed-to-Soil Contact. You’ll see thicker, healthier results through excellent seed-to-soil contact.
Non-Damaging Application. Power Seeding has been designed to minimize damage to your lawn’s existing turf when applying seed.
Grass seed is “Planted.” It grows Deeper and Stronger. So there’s less waste, and up to 80%+ of the Grass Seed Germinates. Grass seed doesn’t die in the winter frost due to being spread on top of the dirt.
Important Surface Grading Note: For maximum coverage please ensure the lawns area(s) being serviced do not have large dips or hills. Low areas should be filled with topsoil. High areas graded to remove excess dirt. Otherwise, the machine tines may miss those areas. Invoices will be adjusted on the areas which are unable to be power seeded.
What you need to know about Slit Seeding
One of the strengths of power seeding grass is its efficiency in getting results. Power seeding is best used when your lawn’s overall condition looks thin, bare, and over-stressed. Power seeding may also be the best option in cases where weeds are rampant or animals and insects have damaged your lawn. Power seeding can quickly restore a thin, damaged property to the thick, lush, and healthy lawn you want, and with the precise method being used, less grass seed is needed. As always, our lawn experts can help you decide the best method for revitalizing your grass, and with our state-of-the-art Power Seeder, we can quickly get your lawn looking better and healthier.
When should I use this service?
Timing is everything when it comes to lawn care. Generally speaking, Spring to Late summer and fall is when you’ll want to consider planting new grass seeds in your yard. Every type of lawn is different, though, and there are times when planting in early spring can bring significant benefits.
If you’re considering seeding or re-seeding a lawn, contact Kentucky Lawn Care and ask about our lawn seeding services.
Should I Combine Lawn Seeding and aeration?
Slit Seeding grass is a valuable technique for getting a healthy lawn. Lawn aeration is an essential part of lawn health as well. Combine the two, and you’ll get a combination that works together to produce a lawn that will envy the neighborhood. When soil becomes compacted, the property struggles to absorb oxygen, water, and critical nutrients needed to grow properly. On the other hand, a well-aerated lawn gives fresh seeds a better chance to absorb nutrients and develop stronger roots. In the same way, that a farmer plows and turns over a field every year, your lawn needs to enhance the soil conditions through aeration. Contact Kentucky Lawn Care to learn how your property could benefit from lawn seeding with lawn aeration services. Kentucky Lawn Care offers core aeration, which – when coupled with seeding – can multiply the effectiveness of lawn maintenance and let your grass grow thicker and greener than ever.
Slit seeding – On average, 8 in 10 seeds germinate. (80%) “Power Seeding” is 5x more effective because our machine cuts “Slits” into the soil, and the grass seed is dispensed. Power Seeding is labor-intensive, so it costs more. But, as expected, it provides much better results (80% vs. 20% germination). Click here to Order Power Seeding.
Broadcasting – On average, 2 in 10 seeds germinate (20%). It would help to broadcast seed regularly since the grass seed doesn’t make as good “Seed to Soil contact” as the Slit Seeding process. Click here to Order Broadcasting.
SOD – IS INSTANT, but it is extremely labor-intensive to install it, so of course, it will cost the most. Click here to Order SOD
