Expert Response
Your service is probably over-seeding which is a recommended practice in our area. Fescue is a cool season grass and it is a challenge to grow this grass in the Richmond area. We are in a transition area-too cold for warm season and too hot for cool season. This is why it is recommended to over-seed the lawn. If you did not over-seed, over time your lawn would begin to show signs of decline. In addition, to the over-seeding, your service is fertilizing in the fall and hopefully monitoring the pH level of the soil and adding lime if necessary. Maintaining a lovely lawn is an on-going process and it sounds as if your lawn is doing well.
