Where Lawns Thrive and Communities Grow™

10/11/2026

We blew seed out of a trailer four or five days ago. It’s already germinating, even over in the dry spots.

If somebody tells you it’s too late to put grass seed down, they’re using the wrong seed. Ryegrass will germinate this time of year. Tall fescue can too, it’s just slower. With daytime temps still holding in the 50s and 60s, we expect germination for another two to three weeks.

The honest part: germination is not a finished lawn. New seedlings need to stay moist and they need a few more weeks of growth before winter, and the weather decides that, not us.

Got seed in the garage? Get it on the ground this week.

EVERY LAWN IS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW THE GROUNDHOGS DIFFERENCE! #518

We get phone calls from homeowners who are sure their lawn is full of w**ds. Take a look at this one. Those clumps are tall fescue. It grows in bunches, it is not the prettiest grass on the block, but it is a grass. Once a lawn gets on a good nutrient program those clumps take off and get happy. They just never blend in on their own.

That is why we overseed with a turf-type tall fescue. It ties the lawn together and makes the coarse clumps a little less obnoxious. It does not erase them. It makes them harder to notice.

Mid-September is the tail end of the fall seeding window here in the Glens Fall, Saratoga, and Albany area. If you are going to overseed this year, do it now if you can, not next month.

Wondering what is growing in your lawn? Call or text (518) 360-2722 or visit gogroundhogs.com.

There are only two grass seed blends we use on the lawns we overseed. Which one you need depends on whether you have irrigation. And there's one grass type we refuse to put down at all, even though it's in most of the cheap bags at the store. If you're seeding this fall, watch this before you buy a bag. Watering is next, because dry seed dies.

Just because you get lawn treatments does not mean you will have a beautiful, healthy lawn. Treatments are only about 20% of the equation.

Proper mowing, proper watering, good weather, and your soil conditions do the rest. Even the best fertilizer in the world will not work on bad pH. Low potassium means a stressed lawn in summer no matter how green it looked in spring. And w**d pressure comes from more than the product. Thin turf, a hot dry year, or mowing too soon after an application can all bring w**ds back.

A good lawn care company should help you find what is actually holding your lawn back. That is the job, and we say it out loud.

The secret to elite turf is not fertilizer. It is aeration and overseeding, every single year. A lawn is only as good as the seed you put on it. New seed fills the bare spots and replaces the old grass that gets weaker every season, just like the rest of us. Skip it and even a well fed lawn thins out. It is the most skipped step in the Capital Region, and it shows by October. Save this one for your fall plan.

Getting your lawn aerated and overseeded this fall? Read this before the truck shows up.

Here's the truth most companies won't say out loud: our machine and our seed are maybe 20 percent of the outcome. What happens in the three weeks after we leave is the rest, and almost all of it comes down to watering.

The new blog covers the one watering rule that beats every schedule on the internet, the three week game plan, and the five ways good people accidentally wreck brand new seed.

Your seed. Your water. Three weeks. Let's get it right.

watering after aeration and overseeding is mostly on you, and the next three weeks decide whether that seed lives
