★★★★★"Transformed our property completely" — Lisa R.
A thick lawn crowds out weeds, holds color longer, and recovers faster from drought. Robbins Property Services overseeds with premium cool-season blends matched to Maine sun, shade, and soil — typically right after fall aeration for the best germination. Serving Windham, Gorham, Westbrook, Falmouth, Cumberland, Scarborough, Portland, and the surrounding Greater Portland towns.
Step 01
Greater Portland lawns thrive on Kentucky bluegrass, fine fescue, and turf-type tall fescue blends. We don't use cheap contractor mix — we source premium blends rated for New England conditions and matched to your sun and shade situation.
Step 02
Broadcasting seed onto compacted soil rarely works. Aerating immediately before overseeding drops seed into open plugs where it contacts soil, holds moisture, and germinates at much higher rates. Most Windham and Falmouth overseeding jobs are bundled with aeration.
Step 03
Late August through mid-September is the prime overseeding window across Cumberland County — warm soil for fast germination, cool air to reduce stress, and plenty of growth time before winter dormancy. Spring overseeding can work but loses to summer heat and weed pressure.

Common questions
Late August through mid-September across Greater Portland — soil is still warm for germination, air is cooling, and you get 6–8 weeks of growth before winter. Spring overseeding is a fallback but generally underperforms.
First germination shows in 7–14 days; meaningful coverage at 4–6 weeks. The fully thickened look usually arrives the following spring.
Skip mowing for the first 2–3 weeks while seedlings establish, then mow at a higher height (3.5–4") for the rest of the season. We coordinate this with your regular mowing schedule.
Standalone overseeding typically runs $200–$500 for a quarter-acre lawn. Bundled with aeration and fall fertilizer, the combined visit usually runs $400–$800.
