Overseeding warm weather grasses such as Bermuda begin to go
dormant in late fall and winter. Over seeding with perennial rye grass in the
fall gives our premier sports fields a growing surface to play on and helps
prevent the complete destruction of the dormant Bermuda turf. Seed is
spread by a broadcast type applicator and covered with a specified top
dressing material.
lnterseeding/Spike and Seed is a second method of over
seeding that the City of Irvine utilizes. Seed is inserted into the soil using an
inter - seeding or spike and seed machine. Applying the seed in two different
directions over the designated area ensure optimal coverage is achieved.
After completion of the inter - seeding application, all debris is removed from adjacent hardscapes and walkways. In some cases an application of 1 / 4 - inch organics may be scheduled immediately after this process. Over seeding with
perennial rye seed usually only occurs on city designated fields that are
considered premier and lighted.
