Writer's picture: Joshua PlanteJoshua Plante

Is your lawn dotted with unsightly dead spots or struggling with sparse, patchy grass?


Don't worry; there are plenty of solutions to revive your lawn's lush greenery. From DIY tricks to professional services like Lawn Patrol's SuperSeeding and Hydroseeding solutions, here's everything you need to know to restore your lawn's health and beauty:


Identifying Dead Spots and Sparse Grass:

  • Dead Spots: Dead spots are areas of your lawn where the grass has completely died off, often leaving bare patches of soil.

  • Sparse Grass: Sparse grass refers to areas where the grass is thin and patchy, with visible gaps between the blades.


Tips and Tricks for Repair:

  • Rake and Remove Debris: Start by raking the dead spots to remove any debris or dead grass. This helps expose the soil and allows new grass seeds to make contact with the ground.

  • Overseed: Overseeding is the process of spreading grass seed over existing grass to fill in bare patches and promote thicker growth. Use a seed spreader to ensure even distribution.

  • Fertilize: Apply a high-quality fertilizer to the entire lawn to provide essential nutrients for grass growth. Look for a fertilizer with a high nitrogen content to encourage lush, green growth.


DIY Solutions:

  • Topdressing: Spread a thin layer of compost or topsoil over the bare spots to provide a nutrient-rich bed for new grass seeds to germinate.

  • Watering: Keep the newly seeded areas consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water lightly several times a day until the new grass seeds germinate.


Professional Solutions:

  • SuperSeeding: Lawn Patrol's SuperSeeding service involves a state of the art machine that sows seed directly into the soil with a high-quality grass seed blend, specially selected for your region and soil type. This helps fill in bare spots and promotes thicker, healthier grass growth.

  • Hydroseeding: Lawn Patrol also offers tailored Hydroseeding, a seeding method that involves spraying a mixture of grass seed, fertilizer, mulch, and water onto the soil. This method promotes rapid germination and ensures even seed distribution biotic soil replacement and amendment available. They can apply as an "overseed" type solution with much better results, on new projects or just over your bare and patchy spots.


In conclusion, repairing dead spots and sparse grass in your lawn is achievable with the right tips and tricks. Whether you opt for DIY solutions or professional services like Lawn Patrol's SuperSeeding and Hydroseeding, your lawn can soon be the envy of the neighborhood once again.
