Slice Seeding
Direct seed-to-soil placement for superior germination and rapid turf recovery.
Why Slice Seed?
Blades cut shallow grooves and place seed directly into soil, ensuring consistent contact and coverage.
Premium Blends
Elite varieties selected for Long Island conditions improve color, density, and disease tolerance.
Built for Results
Calibrated equipment and cross-pattern passes maximize take rate and even emergence.
Best Timing
- Prime window: Late summer to early fall
- Warm soil + cooler nights = fast, even germination
- Lower weed pressure and stronger rooting before winter
What to Expect
- Visible slit lines for 1–2 weeks as seed establishes
- Sprout in 7–21 days (weather dependent)
- Noticeable thickening over 6–10 weeks
Aftercare Essentials
- Keep grooves evenly moist (light, frequent watering for 2–3 weeks).
- Mow at 3.5–4" once seedlings reach height; keep blades sharp.
- Delay broadleaf weed control until seedlings are well established.

Slice seeding vs. overseeding?
Slice seeding places seed into soil with grooves for higher germination; overseeding broadcasts on top.
Will existing grass be damaged?
Minor surface disturbance is normal and temporary; density improves as seedlings establish.
