All lawns need from time to time new seed to generate new growth either to replace grass that has died or to increase the density of grass to produce a lawn that is lusher and will inhibit
weed growth.

Over seeding a lawn is a simple process yet its success will depend on a number of factors such as seed quality, application process and climate conditions.

Slit seeding is a process which delivers the seed into the soil by cutting a slit and dropping seed in to that slit thus giving the seed a much greater opportunity to germinate and establish roots.

The process of slit seeding coupled with using the right seed for your lawn and applied during favourable germination periods will ensure a good success rate.

Any kind of seeding will only be successful if the seed is kept permanently moist. A seed needs moisture to germinate and particularly during the first few hours and days after germination.
