Transform your lawn into a lush, vibrant landscape with expert dormant seeding from The Lawn and Sprinkler Guys! Dormant seeding is a strategic approach to establishing new grass growth, ensuring a thick, green lawn by the time spring arrives. With our professional services, you can prepare your yard for success, even in the colder months.
What is Dormant Seeding?
Dormant seeding involves planting grass seed during the late fall or early winter when soil temperatures are too cold for germination. Unlike traditional seeding, the process takes advantage of the natural freeze-thaw cycle to prepare seeds for growth. Once spring arrives and the soil warms, the seeds germinate, giving your lawn a head start on the growing season.
Why Choose Dormant Seeding?
- Early Spring Growth: Seeds germinate as soon as conditions are favorable, establishing a lawn faster than spring seeding.
- Efficient Moisture Use: Winter snowmelt and spring rains help hydrate seeds naturally, reducing the need for irrigation.
- Fill Bare Spots: Dormant seeding fills in bare or thinning areas, improving the overall density of your lawn.
- Time-Saving: Prepare your lawn in the off-season, so you’re not rushing during spring’s busiest landscaping period.
- Cost-Effective: Get ahead of weeds by thickening your lawn early, reducing the need for chemical weed control.

- Seed Selection: We choose the right grass seed blend for your lawn, considering factors like climate and soil type.
- Timing: Seeds are planted in late fall when temperatures consistently stay below 50°F, ensuring no premature germination.
