INCONSISTENT SEEDING

Some grass areas are continually dying, which thins lawn’s density over time. In order to maintain turf density, seeding of bare spots must be part of your annual maintenance program.

How to repair a lawn in the spring:
1. Vigorously rake the damaged spots
2. Add a small layer of garden soil
3. Put the seeds on the garden soil
4. Mix and level with a leaf rake
5. Walk on the seeds so they are in contact with the soil
6. Water to keep moist for 21 days in the sun and 15 days in the shade
7. If less than 5 hours of sunshine, use seeds for shaded area and do this work at the beginning of May
