We use premium grass seed blends specifically chosen for the Quad Cities climate. Our mix typically includes hardy varieties of Kentucky Bluegrass, Perennial Ryegrass, and Fine Fescue that thrive in our local weather conditions. These varieties are selected for their disease resistance, drought tolerance, and ability to create a thick, attractive lawn. Each property might need a different blend based on factors like sun exposure and soil conditions. Contact us for a consultation to determine the best seed mix for your lawn.

Fall is the ideal time for overseeding in Bettendorf, typically between mid-August and early October. This timing takes advantage of warm soil temperatures while avoiding the intense summer heat, giving new grass the best chance to establish before winter. Spring overseeding can also be effective, but requires more attention to watering as summer approaches. We've been timing lawn services in the Quad Cities since 2014, so we know exactly when conditions are optimal. Ready to schedule your overseeding service?

Most grass varieties we use begin germinating within 5-10 days under proper conditions. You'll start seeing new grass blades emerge within 2-3 weeks, with noticeable filling in of thin areas within 4-6 weeks. Complete establishment typically takes 6-8 weeks. We provide detailed care instructions to help you achieve the best possible results. Contact our team to learn more about what to expect from our overseeding service.

Absolutely! For the best results, we recommend combining overseeding with core aeration. The aeration holes provide perfect seed-to-soil contact and improved germination rates. We can also pair overseeding with our fertilization program to give new grass the nutrients it needs to establish quickly. Many of our 500+ active clients choose this comprehensive approach for the most effective results. Let us know if you'd like to learn about our service packages that include overseeding.

The key to success after overseeding is proper watering - keeping the seed bed consistently moist until germination. We recommend light, frequent watering (2-3 times daily) for the first few weeks, then gradually transitioning to deeper, less frequent watering as the grass establishes. We'll provide you with detailed care instructions, including when to resume mowing and other activities. Have questions about post-seeding care? Our team is always here to help.

Several factors can prevent grass from developing the thick, lush appearance you want. Common issues in Bettendorf lawns include soil compaction, improper mowing height, insufficient nutrients, or competition from weeds.

For most Bettendorf lawns, we recommend overseeding every 1-2 years to maintain optimal thickness and health. Lawns with heavy traffic or those recovering from stress might benefit from more frequent overseeding. As part of our comprehensive lawn care approach, we can evaluate your lawn's specific needs and recommend the right schedule. With over 25 years of combined experience, we know what it takes to keep Quad Cities lawns looking their best. Ready to thicken up your lawn? Give us a call to discuss our overseeding services.
