The LERAVA Overseeding Bundle has been specially designed to help repair thin, patchy, damaged, or weakened lawns through effective overseeding. By correctly following the preparation, seeding, and aftercare steps, you can improve germination, promote stronger root development, and achieve a denser, healthier, and greener lawn.
This guide will walk you step by step through the entire overseeding process to help you achieve the best possible results.
Best Time for Overseeding
From February to November, depending on soil temperature.
STEP 1 — PREPARATION (DAY 1)
Prepare Your Lawn Before Overseeding
Proper lawn preparation is essential for successful overseeding and good seed-to-soil contact.
Before overseeding, follow these steps:
Mow the lawn very short and evenly
Scarify the lawn to remove thatch and loosen compacted soil
Remove weeds, moss, and dead material
Apply Revive Lawn Lime evenly across the entire lawn area
Water thoroughly for approximately 15 minutes
All preparation steps can be completed on the same day.
STEP 2 — OVERSEEDING
Sow the Grass Seed at the Right Temperature
Overseeding should only be carried out when soil temperatures are suitable for proper germination.
Ideal soil temperature for overseeding:
10°C – 21°C
Important:
If the soil temperature is below 10°C, germination may be weak, slow, or uneven.
Simple guideline:
Begin overseeding once the average outdoor temperature reaches approximately 13°C for 7 consecutive days.
Overseeding Instructions:
Use one of the LERAVA grass seeds:
Champion
Express
Turbo
Spread the seed evenly across the overseeding area
Lightly cover the seeds with soil or gently work them into the ground
Apply Starter Fertilizer evenly over the overseeded area
STEP 3 — GROWTH & AFTERCARE
Support Healthy Growth After Overseeding
Proper aftercare is important to help newly overseeded grass grow strong and healthy.
Immediately after overseeding:
Apply the Organic Lawn Fertilizer across the entire lawn
Water thoroughly for approximately 15 minutes
Germination Time:
Approximately 21 days, depending on weather and temperature conditions.
After germination:
Apply Marathon Lawn Fertilizer evenly across the lawn to support strong, dense, and even growth
Water thoroughly again for approximately 15 minutes
Additional Recommendation
For the best long-term lawn results after overseeding, continue regular lawn maintenance and watering throughout the growing period. We also recommend following the complete year-round lawn care guide to help keep your lawn healthy, strong, and green throughout every season.
