Improving seed-to-soil contact

Slit Seeding for Lawn Repair and Coverage

Slit seeding places grass seed directly into the soil using shallow cuts, helping improve germination in lawns with thin or bare areas.

What Is Slit Seeding?

Slit seeding is a lawn seeding method that uses a machine to cut narrow grooves into the soil and drop grass seed into those openings. This creates better seed-to-soil contact compared to spreading seed on the surface.

Slit seeding is commonly used on lawns with thinning turf, bare patches, or areas that have not responded well to surface seeding alone.

Why Slit Seeding Is Used

Why Does Your Lawn Need

Why This Approach Works

Some lawns have difficulty supporting new grass growth due to poor seed contact or surface conditions. Slit seeding helps by:

  • Placing seed directly into the soil

  • Improving germination consistency

  • Supporting early root development

  • Helping repair visible thin or bare areas

This method is often chosen when more direct seeding is needed to improve lawn coverage.
