How To Repair Patches In A Lawn

Preparation

Areas left bald through wear or weeding can be re-seeded as follows.

  • Loosen the surface of the soil by firmly raking in a criss-cross pattern.
  • Remove any surface stones and weeds.
  • Firm and level the surface by close treading over the whole area, then rake until soil surface is fine.
  • If possible, leave the area for a week or two. Level any uneven areas and remove any weeds that apear.

Sowing

  • Shake the box before sowing. Sow half the seed along the area and half the seed across the area to give an even coverage.
  • Sow at a rate of 35g per 1m².
  • Lightly rake in the seed. If no rain falls within 1 week, water thoroughly with a fine spray.
  • Keep moist until well established. Young grass will apear in 14-21 days.
  • Weeds may appear from the soil. These will be killed off with mowing.

General Lawn Care

  • If the weather is dry keep the soil moist with regular watering using a fine spray.
  • Keep off the lawn until the grass is 5-8cm tall.
  • The first cut can be made at this stage, removing no more than one third of the growth.
