Aeration and Overseeding of Fescue - Get Ready for It!
Posted by Kathy Wilder on Thu, Sep 02, 2010
The time to seed fescue is fast approaching! All you folks in 
Northwest Arkansas, Memphis, Huntsville, and Tulsa, get ready to seed fescue in those bare areas in the shade, or to overseed your existing fescue in September. Overseeding is an important part of lawn care for anyone with shade areas.
Mid-September to mid-October is the optimum time for seeding fescue. Fescue is a cool season grass and its growing season starts in September. If you want it to look really good this fall and next spring, you must start planning now. Even though it’s still okay to seed in October, we highly recommend September, because you never know what the weather will do, and seeding in the pouring rain is next to impossible.
We offer fall aeration and overseeding of fescue in our following service areas. Please feel free to call us or your lawn tech for a free quote, or just email us and we’ll get you a price.
Tulsa, OK – Huntsville, Al – Memphis, TN – Springdale, AR
If you’re a do-it-yourself kind of person, see our step-by-step instructions for seeding fescue. 
4 important points:
- Even if your fescue looks good now, it still needs overseeded. All of our service areas (Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennesee, Alabama) are in a transition zone, meaning it’s too hot for fescue. You must overseed it every fall to keep it looking beautiful.
- You cannot just throw some seed on the ground and expect good results. The seed must be incorporated into the soil, which is why we aerate when we seed.
- Seeding in the fall is for cool season grass ONLY and for shade areas ONLY.
- Bermuda, St. Augustine, and zoysia never need overseeding, because they spread.
