Slice Seeding: What It Is and Why It Works

Slice seeding is a highly effective lawn renovation technique that improves grass density and promotes healthier turf. Unlike traditional overseeding, slice seeding ensures better seed-to-soil contact, leading to higher germination rates.

Slice seeding uses a specialized machine with vertical blades that cut into the soil, depositing grass seed directly into the grooves. This method enhances seed penetration and ensures even distribution across the lawn.

1. Better Germination: Direct seed-to-soil contact increases the chances of seed sprouting.
2. Fills in Bare/ open areas: Helps thicken existing turf and repair damaged areas.

1. Ideal for lawns with bare patches or thinning grass.
2. Best performed in early fall or spring for optimal germination.
3. Works well when combined with fertilization and proper watering.

Slice seeding is a reliable method to rejuvenate struggling lawns, ensuring lush, thick turf that withstands environmental stress and drought conditions however it does not replace aeration.  Ask a professional if you should be aerating and overseeding or slice seeding your lawn based on it’s current condition.  There are benefits to both!
