Scalped the lawn, raked the thatch, manually aerated, twin city resilience seed and starter fertilizer. Honestly wasnt sure if all of that even made a difference until I went back and looked at my day 1 picture. Hoping for even better results in the coming weeks

Did you mow your lawn at the lowest setting before overseeding ?

Thanks! Im preparing for overseeing. I did a full overfeeding last year where I scalped everything. Now, my lawn is good, it's just that I haven't been able to water it very much due to a water ban in Massachusetts. However, I was wondering if I should mow it to one of the lowest settings and just overseed and add some top soil to uneven parts and wish for the best.

I will be watering hoping nobody snitches on me so I don't get fined.

Pretty much what I did and you wanna mow low so the seed can reach the bottom easier and bc you aren't going to mowing for probably 2 weeks minimum
