Planning on over seeding your lawn?
Think again!
Over seeding with winter rye grass is the traditional method for those who want green grass during the dormant winter months. That process, however, has many downsides, not the least of which is harm to your lawn. Over seeding is time consuming , expensive, requires continuous maintenance, and brings no guarantee of a green lawn.
If you're planning on over seeding your lawn this fall and winter, buying seed, fertilizer and the equipment to spread it, are just your initial costs. You could pay a landscaper, but that's not any less! Once the seed is spread, it requires regular watering and fertilizing... more time and money you're putting into the process.
Now the waiting game! Cross your fingers and hope that all the time and money you've spent isn't wasted. Unfortunately, there's no assurance that the rye is going to grow. Many times it will grow in some areas and not others, resulting in a patchy lawn. Hopefully your winter rye will grow evenly throughout your lawn, giving you the color you desire. Think you're done? Not so fast! You planted this rye in hopes that it would grow, and now it's growing. So crank up your mower, you've got to mow that grass all winter long! More time, more money.
Fast forward to Spring and your original grass is ready to come alive again. Unfortunately, it's competing with the rye for the nutrients it needs. Also, the rye that grew over the winter has shaded the original grass, keeping it from the sunlight it needed. Now it's time to get rid of the rye, which means killing it off... More time, more money.
WHY FIGHT THAT FIGHT? The significant costs of seed, fertilizer, watering and maintenance provide no guarantee of results!

Painting will not harm your lawn. (Remember, when you over seed, you are introducing another grass that your original grass will have to compete with for nutrients and sunlight). There are no chemicals in the paint we use, so it's safe for kids, pets and the lawn itself. The paint will act as a protective barrier for the lawn, warming it throughout the cold months. This protects the roots, and has the grass prepared to green up faster than normal in the Spring.
