Why Overseeding Works in Aurora

Aurora's cool-season lawns naturally thin out over time due to heat stress, drought, and general wear. Overseeding introduces new, drought-tolerant turf varieties that fill in bare areas and compete against weeds.

Fall overseeding in Beacon Point takes advantage of cooling temperatures and consistent moisture, giving seed the ideal germination window before winter dormancy.

The Overseeding Process

Overseeding works best when combined with aeration, which gives seed direct soil contact and better germination rates. We can do both in a single visit.

  • Mow the existing lawn short (2 to 2.5 inches) before seeding
  • Aerate for maximum seed-to-soil contact (recommended)
  • Apply seed at the correct rate for your lawn size
  • Water lightly 2 to 3 times daily until germination (10 to 14 days)
  • Avoid mowing new seedlings for 3 to 4 weeks

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to overseed in Beacon Point?

Late August through mid-October is ideal. Cool-season grasses germinate best when soil temps drop below 70 degrees, which happens naturally in Aurora's fall.

Do I need to aerate before overseeding?

It's not required, but strongly recommended. Seed needs soil contact to germinate. Aeration creates the perfect seedbed and improves germination rates significantly.

What kind of seed do you use?

We use a turf-type tall fescue blend appropriate for Colorado's climate. It's drought-tolerant, disease-resistant, and matches the look of most Aurora lawns.

How long until I see new grass growing?

Germination takes 10 to 21 days depending on soil temperature and watering. You'll see noticeable fill-in within 4 to 6 weeks.

Can I mow after overseeding?

Wait until new seedlings reach 3.5 to 4 inches before the first mow. Cutting too early pulls seedlings out of the soil.
