The most recommended time to repair bare spots in your lawn is during the season of fall. These spots may be the cause of your pets urine, foot traffic drought or it may be a sign that your lawn is suffering from a disease where it is being invaded by bugs or pests. When grass doesn’t grow anymore, your lawn is already prone to ruts that will create a larger portion in your lawn. What is essential is that you should match your existing grass with your newly planted ones to have a more level look of your lawn. Here are ways to repair the bare spots:

- get all the old dead grass in the spot using a shovel and trim to clean up and put in the new top soil then start to plant the seeds and in order not to be damaged by heavy rain, you can put in straw in the seeds. In planting your seeds, make sure that you don’t plunge it deeply in the ground.

- Put on fertilizer according to label instructions for a primary application.

- Patch should be covered with a straw to keep in the moisture for the seeds to develop or grow. A light spray on the seeds will also be best for the seeds to grow evenly, and make the top portion of seeds moist always.When seeds develop, keep them moist and put in ample amount of water to make it moist down from its surface.

- When seeds start to grow, avoid walking or mowing through the area until the grass will reach in an about 2-3 inches height.Also, weed control should not be use on your new grass until they mature.
