Lawn Seeding Company For New or Existing Lawns
If your new Milwaukee area home has a few thousand square feet of dirt instead of a lawn, it might be tempting to lay sod for an instant green yard. However, sod can be more expensive and less effective than lawn seeding. Oberndorfer Landscape Development offers professional lawn installation by tilling your lot, applying fertilizer, phosphorous and other essential nutrients to help seeds take root.
Whether you’re starting fresh or need overseeding services for bare patches, our experts will restore your lawn. We test the soil and choose the right seed to match your existing turf, providing a healthy, thriving lawn for years to come.
Overseeding Services: Grass Seed vs. Sod
If your lawn has large patches of dirt, or is entirely dirt, professionally installing sod might be the best option. Sod is pre grown grass often cut into rolls and is best installed on your lawn by a professional.
Fall and spring are generally the best time to apply sod. Fresh, green sod can be rolled onto your property by a professional in as little as one day, leaving you with a beautiful green lawn. However, installing sod is significantly more expensive than seeding your lawn, and might struggle to take hold if your soil doesn’t have the right nutrients.
Seeding your lawn is not only more cost effective, but it allows you to match your existing yard. Over time, sod is less likely to take root than seeds. A properly seeded lawn will match your existing turf and grow in well, while sod might never match your original lawn. Oberndorfer only carries fresh seed carefully selected to thrive in the climate of southeast Wisconsin like:
- Fine Fescue
- Kentucky Bluegrass
- Perennial Ryegrass
Seed can be applied by homeowners and professionals alike over bare patches or entire lawns. In the long run, seeding is the higher quality, cost-effective option.

Lawn Seeding Cost
The cost of lawn seeding is determined by the size of your yard, the condition of your existing grass, and the variety of grass you choose. Bigger yards require more grass seed for effective coverage, which translates to a higher cost. The cost of lawn seeding will also increase if your lawn needs to be removed before beginning the reseeding process.
Milwaukee Lawn Seeding FAQ

Lawn installation starts from bare soil to grow a new lawn, while overseeding adds new seed to an existing lawn to boost thickness and patch bare spots. Each has different goals but both benefit from expert handling.

Spring and fall are ideal, offering the right temperatures and moisture for strong root growth. Professionals can help time seeding based on your lawn’s condition and local grass types.
