overseeded

Sowed lawn twice

Overseeded is the past tense of overseed, meaning to plant grass seed over an existing lawn without tearing up the turf.

Homeowners overseed to thicken patchy lawns or introduce cool-season grasses before winter: We overseeded the backyard after the drought killed half the grass.

The practice maintains lawn density without starting from bare soil.
