​Lawn Seeding Services for Dothan, Alabama
Seeding your lawn is an important step if you want to replenish grass that has died because of drought, heat damage or disease. At Dothan Landscaping, we offer reseed and overseeding for lawns of all shapes and sizes.  Our top lawn seeding service ensures your grass will look its best all year.

Before we start, we will do a thorough lawn assessment to determine the soil type and current grass condition.  Many times, we can recommend an alternative solution to dying grass, bald patches, or even poor soil conditions.  When seeding is the proper solution to your lawn problems, we will start by aerating your lawn in order to achieve the best results and to ensure optimum soil conditions. Aeration and soil prep is a critical step in order to have a high germination rate of the seed. Our aeration and seeding services can be purchased alone or as a part of a scheduled lawn maintenance program.  Seeding is a good idea for every lawn in Dothan along with the many other lawn care services we offer.

If you currently have grass that requires constant maintenance or constantly develops bald patches, it might be worth it to refresh your lawn with an application of new seed instead of filling patches with a generic filler treatment. 

When should you seed your lawn? 
Though there is an ideal time of year to start seeding your lawn, the best chance for germination will depend on the type of grass you have and whether it is a warm or cool season grass.  Technically, you can apply seed any time of year, but seeding at the wrong time can lead to excessive weeds growing along with your grass and seed that fails to germinate. The ideal time for seeding your lawn if it is a warm-season grass is the period from spring through summer; as it grows best in those seasons and will go dormant in the winter. For cool-season grasses, the best time to seed is late summer through fall; although it can also be planted in the spring as well. 

Preparing Your Lawn For Seeding 
Before seeding your lawn, you will need to have your soil prepared first. Proper soil preparation includes checking the current pH level to ensure it is properly balanced. You will also need to have thatch removed to allow the seeds direct contact with the soil, along with aerating your lawn to make sure the new seed has access to much- needed nutrients. You may also want to have your lawn treated for weeds prior to seeding to make sure weeds don’t start growing alongside the new grass and steal water and nutrients. Your Dothan Lawn Care Specialists will help you to understand  whether your soil needs these applications before we apply your new seed.  

Should I Mow Before Seeding My Lawn?
Generally speaking, you should never mow your lawn to cut off more than one third of the grass at a time. Any more is sometimes referred to as “scalping”. However, the one time you should mow your lawn is just prior to overseeding your lawn. This means your new grass seed will have maximum exposure to the soil, which leads to a lush, thicker lawn.
