What is the difference between sodding and overseeding?
Sodding involves laying down pre-grown grass mats for an instant lawn, which is ideal for new constructions or total renovations. Overseeding is the process of spreading grass seed over an existing lawn to fill in bare spots and increase turf density, providing a thicker look over a few weeks.
When is the best time for sod installation in Minnesota?
In the Bloomington and south metro area, sod installation can be done anytime during the growing season as long as there is adequate water. However, spring and early fall are preferred because the cooler temperatures reduce the risk of the new grass drying out before the roots take hold in the soil.
Why should I choose overseeding for my existing lawn?
Overseeding is a cost-effective way to rejuvenate a thinning lawn without the expense of a full replacement. It introduces newer, more drought-resistant grass varieties into your yard, helping your turf better withstand pests, disease, and the heat of Minnesota summers.
Does my lawn need to be aerated before overseeding?
Yes, we highly recommend pairing lawn/core aeration with your overseeding project. The holes created by the aerator ensure excellent seed-to-soil contact, which is the most critical factor in ensuring the new grass seeds germinate and grow successfully.
How much watering does new sod require?
Freshly installed sod requires significant water for the first two to three weeks. You should keep the sod and the soil beneath it consistently moist (but not flooded) until the roots have knitted into the ground, at which point you can transition to a standard irrigation schedule.
How soon can I walk on or mow my new sod?
You should avoid heavy foot traffic on new sod for at least two weeks to allow the root system to establish. You can typically perform your first lawn mowing once the grass has reached about 3.5 to 4 inches in height, ensuring your mower blades are sharp and set to a high level.
What kind of grass seed do you use for overseeding?
We use high-quality seed mixes specifically selected for the Twin Cities climate, typically a blend of Kentucky Bluegrass and Fine Fescue. These varieties provide the best balance of sun and shade tolerance, ensuring your overseeding results in a uniform, resilient, and green lawn.
Can you install sod on a sloped area?
Yes, sod installation is an excellent solution for sloped areas prone to erosion. The pre-grown root mats provide immediate soil stabilization that seed cannot offer, and we can use sod staples to ensure the pieces stay in place until they are fully rooted.
Do I need to fertilize new sod or seed immediately?
Our sod and overseeding services often include a "starter fertilizer" application. This specialized fertilizing treatment is high in phosphorus to encourage rapid root development, giving your new grass the best possible start.
