If it is observed that, per m

, the lawn is...
I. more than half taken up by moss or weeds:
Clear the lawn and remove all other parasites:
• Spray the lawn two weeks in advance with an anti-moss product or herbicide against broad-
leaved weeds. Do this before it rains.
• When the moss and weeds have died, they must be completely raked away.
(e.g. intensive scarifying).
• Just before overseeding, cut the grass to a length of 2 cm (7/8”) at most.
II. Before 3/4 of it is covered with grass and the rest has open spaces or bare patches:
Overseed here to restore the grass density:
• Just before overseeding, cut the grass to a length of 2 cm (7/8”) at most.
III. following a dry period before 3/4 has turned brown:
Remove the dead material, but also the weaker plants:
• Scarify the existing turf thoroughly (diametrically opposed in two directions). Ensure that the
blades penetrate 2 mm (0.1") into the soil so that the dried out soil crust is broken.
• Clear the dry or old grass.
• Mow the lawn so that all residues are sucked up by the mower.
Please note: After a period of drought, wait for sufficient rainfall. First saturate
the soil with moisture in order to have sufficient water reserves to protect the
germination and growth process.
IV. If the intention is to proactively overseed every year or every two years:
Here, the lawn is still in good condition, but the aim is to preventively rejuvenate the vegeta-
tion in order to prevent weeds and deterioration. Here, the build-up of felt and weaker grass
plants will be removed to make room for new grass.
• Mow the lawn using the shortest mow setting so that it the height of the grass is 2 cm (7/8”)
at most.
• Scarify the lawn thoroughly in two diametrically opposed directions.
• Clear all scarifying residue.
• Mow again in the shortest possible mower setting to remove all residues from the turf.
After the pre-treatment has been carried out, in each of the above cases a thinned out, clean
and level lawn area will be left over where the bare soil between the remaining grass vegeta-
tion is clearly visible.
Only now is the terrain ready to start the overseeding treatment.
