Lawn Overseeding
Thicker Grass. Healthier Lawn. Better Coverage.
Over time, lawns can become thin, patchy, and uneven due to wear, weather, pests, or poor growing conditions. Overseeding is one of the most effective ways to restore density and improve the overall appearance of your lawn without starting from scratch. At Lawngevity, overseeding is used as a targeted treatment to strengthen your existing lawn and encourage new, healthy grass growth.
What Is Overseeding?
Overseeding involves applying high-quality grass seed directly into your existing lawn to:
- Fill bare or thin areas
- Improve grass density
- Enhance colour and texture
- Strengthen the lawn against weeds and moss
It works best when combined with treatments that open up the lawn surface, allowing seed to make proper contact with the soil.
Why Lawns Benefit from Overseeding
Lawns may need overseeding if they:
- Have bare patches or thin areas
- Recover slowly from wear or damage
- Struggle after scarification or aeration
- Are prone to weeds or moss
- Look tired or uneven overall
- A denser lawn naturally crowds out weeds and improves resilience.
Our Overseeding Process
Lawngevity follows a structured approach to ensure the best results:
1. Lawn Assessment
We assess lawn condition, usage, shade levels, and soil health to select the most suitable grass seed blend.
2. Lawn Preparation
Overseeding is typically carried out after:
- Scarification to remove moss and thatch
- Aeration to improve soil contact and root growth
This preparation is key to successful germination.
3. Premium Grass Seed Application
We apply professional-grade grass seed chosen specifically for your lawn’s conditions — whether that’s high traffic, shade, or general garden use.
4. Supportive Feeding
A tailored fertiliser helps support germination and early growth, encouraging new grass to establish quickly.

We have been so pleased to watch the progress of our lawn improving! Following a few years of trying all sorts of DIY lawn treatments and hours spent raking and scarifying the grass we realised we could not do it ourselves.
Aaron and his team have been fantastic in guiding us through their process and helping keep us on track (the regular newsletters are brilliant reminders of what to do and when!) Today’s InjectAir-action treatment was fascinating to watch….the lawns actually looked as if they were breathing!! Even our 10year old was intrigued 🙂
Looking forward to enjoying our garden in the better weather!!

The team at Lawngevity are very easy to work with, very professional and appear to use top tier products. They're always very forthcoming with advice for how I can get the best out of the treatments they do, and as a result my lawn hasn't looked better. Thank you!

We contacted Lawngevity as the garden was full of moss and weeds and difficult to mow. I was sceptical at first as we had used a previous company and noticed no difference between the treatments.
Lawngevity were really professional and helpful from the start.They are tidy hard workers. We were amazed at the amount of moss removed from the lawn following the scarifying. I have included pictures from May 2024 and then 2 months later,what a difference!! The lawn is easier to mow and no visible weeds this year. We have invested in a robotic mower and as it mulches the grass clippings will help improve the condition of the grass.
We dealt mainly with Stuart who kept us informed of how liquid treatments would benefit the lawn. We highly recommend Aaron and team the difference in our lawn is great ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Aaron and the team have been working on my lawn now for a few years.
I tried everything myself, wasted lots of time and money on over the counter treatments. Time I do not have these days with work and a busy family life!
The lawn looks excellent all year around! the team also treat my hard surfaces for weeds a few times a year.
I basically do nothing except cut the grass and water it! A job my son has now started to help with! 🤣
I get the invoice and the money leaves my card automatically.
A great service from a great local business!
Highly recommended.
👍👍👍👍👍

Absolutely amazing job.
All the weeds on the hard surface completely gone and the artificial grass that looked like a jungle is like new.
Would definitely recommend Lawngevity.

For years my children used my lawn as a rugby and football pitch. In that time I’ve also had 2 dogs and my neighbours shrubs have grown unmanaged to 20 feet. I had given up on my poor grass and planned to rip it up and extend my patio and then Aaron came and persuaded me to turn the lawn around instead. What a phenomenal job they have done! A very knowledgeable and well informed team of professionals who were as invested in my garden as I was. The result of weeding, feeding, aeration and scarification has turned it into this. I can’t recommend them enough. Fantastic work and very much appreciated. Thank you Lawngevity!

Tom Jones would just love the green green grass of our home, courtesy of The Country Gardener team. We are very impressed with lawns that were previously, at best patchy! Though,with treatments and heavy scarifying, the grass is fantastic despite all the rain lately! Well done to all of the staff, who are always courteous and clean up afterwards 👏

I was very happy with The Country Gardener. They performed two jobs for me, fruit tree planting and another job where I needed them to plant a large number of trees along a border of my property.
Aaron and his team were very professional, they studied the land, tested the ground, give me recommendations for different trees and took the time to consider the job and tree positions.
The guys took pride in their job and seemed to like what they do. They were also very knowledgeable about tree types, various tree planting products (bone meal etc) and tree supporting techniques.
They are proper, professional, knowledgeable gardeners. 5-Stars

Many thanks Aaron

I contacted The County Gardener and they came out and gave me a free quote. They arrived dead on time to do the work. They cut several feet off my hedge and did a great job. They took all the cuttings away and left the place tidy. They also cut and tidied up two trees at the the front which now look so much better. Then they power brushed the drive way and removed the moss. They did an amazing job. Drive looks like new. They also cleaned the gutters using a new tech and again did a fab job. They cut the grass too. They both were lovely gentlemen and helped me with a few other things giving me advice about the lawn etc. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company and I will be getting them back next year again

I've had numerous people work at my garden with zero satisfaction from any of them. I waited some time to get Aaron to look at my garden but I wanted someone who knew what they were doing. Aaron didn't disappoint, he had vision as to what it could look like, he's installing a meadow garden, told me how he would do it and when to expect results. He shaped established shrubs and trimmed trees. I'm so delighted to have found someone to trust to look after my garden and I hope for a long relationship. Can't recommend the country garden enough. Thank you Aaron.
